Overview

ASCII Art is a standalone client-side web tool that converts any uploaded photo into live-rendered ASCII art. No backend, no server, fully browser-based. The Canvas API reads pixel brightness values and maps them to a character ramp, rendering the result in real time as you tune the controls.

The control panel lets you adjust the character ramp, font, size, brightness, background color, color mode, and output resolution. Export as PNG, .txt, or copy to clipboard.
