A browser-based ASCII art toolkit for building text banners and converting images into adjustable character compositions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The site separates text rendering from image conversion, but keeps both workflows in one interface. Text output draws on 59 classic FIGlet fonts; image output maps luminance to selectable ramps such as blocks or binary characters and includes Floyd–Steinberg, ordered, and custom dithering. Users can adjust dimensions, color, brightness, contrast, gamma, and inversion before copying or exporting the result as text, HTML, ANSI, or PNG.
