How do I convert an image to ASCII art?

Simply drag and drop any image onto the upload area. Adjust width, contrast, and brightness sliders to fine-tune the detail, pick an ANSI color theme, and copy the generated Markdown code block.

Can I use ASCII art in my GitHub README.md?

Yes! You can copy either plain text Markdown or colored ANSI Markdown blocks which render natively inside GitHub profile READMEs.

Is my image uploaded to any server?

No. The ASCII conversion happens entirely inside your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your photos are never uploaded or stored on any server.
