ASCII Art Generator

Text

Convert text to ASCII art with multiple font styles and borders

Type a short string and pick a font (block, banner, small, or dots) to get large ASCII banner text back, ready to drop into a terminal welcome message, a shell script's help output, or a plain-text README. Each font is a hand-built glyph table covering the Latin alphabet, digits, and basic punctuation rather than a real figlet-file renderer, so characters outside that set render blank instead of falling back to a similar glyph. A border option boxes the output for terminal display, but long strings that exceed the configured max width get hard-truncated, which can cut a glyph mid-character rather than wrapping cleanly, so it's worth keeping banners short for typical 80-column terminals.

How to use ASCII Art Generator

  • 1.Type a short string and pick a font style to generate ASCII art banner text for a CLI tool's startup message or README header.
  • 2.Toggle a border style to wrap your text in a box for terminal output or a code comment header.
  • 3.Copy the generated art directly into a shell script's echo statements or a plain-text file where images aren't an option.

Frequently asked questions

Will the art look right in any font or terminal?
Only if viewed in a monospace font — ASCII art relies on fixed character widths, so it will look misaligned in proportional fonts like in a webpage without a `<pre>` or code block.
Does it support Unicode/emoji input?
Best results come from plain ASCII letters and numbers — the font styles are designed around the standard Latin alphabet, and non-ASCII characters may not render in a given style.
Is there a length limit?
Very long strings will produce very wide output that may not fit typical 80-character terminal widths — keep banner text short for practical use.
Is my input sent anywhere?
No, generation happens entirely in your browser.
