How the ASCII Art Generator works

Every letter, digit and common punctuation mark is drawn on a 5 by 5 grid. The tool places the glyphs side by side with your chosen gap and swaps the pixels for the fill character you pick.

Because the art relies on every character having the same width, paste it into a code comment, a terminal banner, a README or a monospace code block. In a proportional font the letters will drift out of alignment.

When it is useful

  • •Adding a startup banner to a command line program or a script.
  • •Making a header comment for a source file that stands out when scrolling.
  • •Decorating a README, a forum signature or a chat message in a code block.
  • •Printing large lettering with a plain text printer or a receipt printer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my art look wrapped or broken?

The output is wide because each letter takes about six columns. Long words wrap in narrow boxes. Put one short word on each line, or paste into an editor with line wrapping turned off.

Which characters are supported?

Letters A to Z, digits 0 to 9, space and the marks ! ? . , : ' - + =. Lowercase letters are drawn as capitals. Anything else is shown as a question mark glyph.

Can I change the style of the letters?

You can change the fill character, the gap between letters and how much each letter is stretched horizontally. The letter shapes themselves use a single clean block face.
