FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is ASCII art?
ASCII art is a type of text-based art made from letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other keyboard characters. Instead of using pixels or brush strokes, it uses plain text characters to create images, logos, banners, shapes, and decorative designs.
ASCII art is often used in comments, profiles, code files, retro designs, messages, and text-based creative projects. You can learn more about it on Wikipedia.
How do I create ASCII art here?
Type your text into the input field, choose an ASCII font, and preview the result instantly. You can adjust spacing, font size, color, borders, and comment styles before copying or downloading your design.
What is the difference between an ASCII font and a display font?
An ASCII font controls the actual text art design — for example block, shadow, 3D, retro, or decorative styles.
A display font controls how the characters are shown on screen. Monospaced display fonts usually work best because they keep the ASCII art aligned.
What do the Letter Spacing, Line Spacing, and Font Size settings do?
These settings affect the Display font — how the ASCII characters are shown on screen and in image exports. They do not change the selected ASCII font style itself.
Letter Spacing changes the distance between characters in the ASCII art.
Line Spacing changes the distance between rows of text.
Font Size changes how large the ASCII art appears on screen or in the downloaded image.
What do the Bold, Border, and Comment Style settings do?
Bold makes the displayed ASCII characters bolder, if a bold version of the selected display font is available.
Border adds a decorative frame around the ASCII text.
Comment Style decorates the ASCII art with code-comment-inspired symbols and wrappers, such as #, /**/, , or --.
Can I copy the ASCII art as plain text?
Yes. You can copy the generated ASCII art to the clipboard and paste it into messages, comments, profiles, documents, code files, or anywhere plain text is supported.
What can I do in the editor?
In the editor, you can customize your ASCII art as part of a larger design. Resize and rotate it, place it on a page, combine it with images or other text blocks, and prepare the final result for downloading, printing, or sharing.
Can I use the generated ASCII art for personal or commercial projects?
Yes. You may use the ASCII art you create with this tool for personal, educational, and commercial projects, including websites, social media, posters, videos, presentations, and printed designs.
ASCII and FIGlet fonts are a special case: many of them were created a long time ago and have been shared online for years without clear license information. This tool uses ASCII/FIGlet fonts from the xero/figlet-fonts collection. When author, contact, or license notes are available, we show them in the font information. Click the i icon next to the font name to view these details.
The Display fonts used in this tool have licenses that allow commercial use.
