About this tool

Converting an image into text-based ASCII art — using characters instead of pixels to represent the image — is a distinctive retro-computing aesthetic, and doing it manually means painstakingly mapping brightness to characters yourself. This tool converts an image into text-based ASCII art automatically, handling the brightness-to-character mapping so you get a shareable text version of any image.
