What this tool does

ASCII art adds retro personality to GitHub READMEs, Discord profiles, and terminal splash screens without image files.

Pick a banner font and copy the monospace output — display varies slightly by platform font.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Type the word or short phrase you want as ASCII art.

  2. 2

    Pick a font style from the available banner fonts.

  3. 3

    Copy the ASCII art output — generated instantly in your browser.

Best practices

Keep phrases short — long text wraps awkwardly in ASCII fonts.

Test in the target app before committing — some platforms collapse multiple spaces.

Tips

  • Use for section headers in plain-text newsletters.
  • Avoid ASCII art in SEO meta tags — search engines ignore decorative text.
