Description
Give your README a signature, your Discord a mascot, or your next blog post a character-art cover. Turn photos and logos into ASCII locally in your browser—free, with no signup or image upload. Start with a built-in example, compare before/after, and tune presets, detail and color. Copy text or Markdown; export TXT, PNG, SVG, HTML or ANSI. Text formats keep editable characters; image exports preserve the look. Try the neon jellyfish or make an 80-column fox README mark.
