ASCII art is text-based visual art created using printable characters from the ASCII character set. It's widely used in CLI tools, README files, terminal banners, code comments, and retro-style interfaces.

What fonts are available?

The generator includes 10+ classic FIGlet-inspired fonts: Big, Banner, Block, Slant, Shadow, Bubble, Mini, Straight, Lean, and Digital. Each font has a distinct style suited to different contexts.

Can I use this for README files?

Yes — this is one of the most popular use cases. Copy the ASCII output and paste it into a code block in your README.md. Wrap it in a ``` block to preserve spacing.

Is there a character limit?

For best results, keep your text under 20 characters. Longer text may overflow line width or look cramped depending on the font. The tool supports up to 50 characters.

Does this work offline?

All ASCII rendering happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no server calls. Once the page is loaded, it works without an internet connection.

Is this based on FIGlet?

The fonts are inspired by classic FIGlet fonts and built as pure JavaScript character maps for fast, dependency-free rendering. No FIGlet binary or server is required.
