Image to ASCII art — free, no signup, runs in your browser
Wanted ASCII art for a README banner. Every free tool I tried required guessing column width, character style, and inversion — output was either crushed detail or static noise. 20 minutes for one usable result.
Built this instead. Pick a photo, choose from 12 character styles (classic @#S%, block chars, binary, minimal), adjust columns, export PNG/SVG/TXT. Pre-tuned defaults work on the first try.
The AI mode generates the source image from a text prompt, then converts it — all in one click. That's the part that actually surprised me.
