How it works
The ASCII art generator turns a short phrase into large letters drawn with characters, using FIGlet fonts. You can choose from hundreds of styles, adjust the horizontal and vertical layout (kerning), set a maximum width, and apply color filters to the result.
Once generated, you copy the text as-is or download it as a .txt file or as a PNG image with the chosen background color. The conversion is done entirely in your browser, without sending anything to a server.
Use cases
- Create eye-catching headers for README files, project banners, or documentation.
- Add titles in script comments, command-line tools, or configuration files.
- Generate a message of the day (MOTD) or a login banner for a server.
- Design signatures, text logos, or ornaments for forums, terminals, and chats.
Frequently asked questions
What is a FIGlet font?
FIGlet is a classic format that defines how to draw each large letter by combining ASCII characters. Each font reproduces a distinct style (blocks, 3D, shading, italic), and this tool includes hundreds of them to choose from.
Can I download the result in color?
Yes. You can apply solid or gradient color filters and download the art as a PNG image, which keeps the text and background color. If you prefer plain text to paste anywhere, use the .txt download or the copy button.
Why does the art look misaligned in some places?
ASCII art only looks right with a monospaced font, where all characters have the same width. If you paste it into an editor or chat with a proportional font, the columns misalign; choose a monospaced font or download the PNG to keep the shape.
