Image to ASCII art
Each part of the image is replaced by a character whose density matches its brightness, so dark areas become @ and # and light ones become dots and spaces. Paste the result into a message, code, a comment, or a terminal. A fixed width font gives the best look.

Frequently asked questions
Why does ASCII art break in a message?
The app shows text in a proportional font. Paste it into a code block or a field with a fixed width font.
Which width is best?
60 to 80 characters for messages, up to 200 for print or screens.
What does Invert do?
For a dark background, like a terminal, inverting gives the right look.
