THE REAL OUTPUT.
Turn any photo, portrait, logo or illustration into character art without uploading the original file. The converter samples brightness locally and maps every region to your chosen glyph set.
- Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
- Choose a glyph set and tune the density.
- Invert the luminance when light and dark feel reversed.
- Copy the result or export TXT and PNG.

06 / FAQGOOD TO
GOOD TO
KNOW.
IS MY IMAGE UPLOADED?
No. Conversion happens locally in your browser and the original image is never sent to ASCIIART.PRO.
WHICH IMAGE TYPES WORK?
The current converter supports JPG, PNG and WebP files supported by your browser.
WHY DOES THE RESULT LOOK STRETCHED?
Text characters are taller than they are wide. The converter compensates automatically, but very unusual fonts may still change the perceived proportions.
