🖼️→ Convert Image to ASCII Art

Free online tool to convert any image or photo into ASCII (text) art. Runs fully in your browser — images are never uploaded, so it is private and safe. Adjust width, character set and invert; copy or download as .txt.

What is the Image to ASCII Art converter?

A free tool that maps the brightness of your uploaded image to a ramp of characters, producing real ASCII (text) art. Photos, logos and illustrations are rendered using only characters like "@", "#" and ".".

Copy the generated ASCII art and paste it into X (Twitter), Discord or LINE profiles and messages, or save it as a .txt file. It looks best displayed in a monospace font.

🔒 Privacy: your image is never uploaded

Your image is processed entirely inside your browser. It is never uploaded to or stored on any server.

  1. Drag & drop, click to choose, or paste (Ctrl+V) an image
  2. Adjust the width (columns) and character set
  3. Optionally invert the brightness
  4. Copy or save as .txt and paste it anywhere

❓ FAQ

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens inside your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your image is never sent to or stored on any server, which keeps it private and copyright-safe.

What kind of images work best?

High-contrast images — silhouettes, logos, close-up faces — convert most clearly. The simpler the background, the more readable the resulting text art.

Where can I use the generated ASCII art?

Paste it anywhere that shows monospace text: X (Twitter), Discord, LINE, forums, email and more. Use Copy or Save .txt to reuse it any time.

Why does it look broken?

ASCII art is meant to be displayed in a monospace font. In proportional fonts the character widths do not line up, so it can look distorted. Paste it into a code block or other monospace area and it will look correct.
