FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Useful answers for common doubts about ASCII output, browser processing, and use cases like Discord or GitHub README headers.
Do you upload my image?
No. The image conversion runs locally in the browser in this static project version.
Can I use the output on Discord?
Yes. Compact monospace banners work best.
Can I use the output in a GitHub README?
Yes. Paste the output inside a fenced code block for cleaner alignment.
Why do some images convert badly?
Low contrast, cluttered backgrounds, tiny subjects, and noisy photos usually produce muddy output.
What width should I use?
For sharing, start around 80 to 120 characters wide. Use smaller output for mobile.
Can I download the ASCII art?
Yes. The tool includes TXT download buttons for generated output.
