Image to ASCII Art
Turn any photo, logo or sprite into ASCII art. Adjust the width, character ramp and colour, then copy the text or download it as .txt or PNG — all in your browser.
Drag & drop an image here, or use the button below
PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, AVIF — nothing is uploaded
Height follows your image's aspect ratio, compensated for the tall shape of a character cell so the art isn't stretched.
Your ASCII art will appear here.
About this tool
Image to ASCII Art samples your picture into a grid of cells, averages the colour of each cell, and picks the ramp character whose density matches that brightness. Colour mode prints every glyph in its cell's own RGB value, while monochrome keeps the output pasteable anywhere. Everything — decoding, conversion and export — happens entirely in your browser; your image is never uploaded to a server.
