What characters are supported?

The ASCII art generator supports uppercase letters A-Z, digits 0-9, and spaces. Lowercase letters are automatically converted to uppercase. Special characters and punctuation are not supported and will be rendered as spaces.

How many font styles are available?

There are four built-in font styles: Standard (basic block letters), Banner (large banner-style text), Shadow (block letters with a shadow effect), and Small (a compact version). Each style uses Unicode block characters for rendering.

Is there a character limit?

The input field allows up to 20 characters. For best visual results, we recommend keeping text under 10 characters, as longer text may require horizontal scrolling to view the full ASCII art output.

Can I use the generated ASCII art commercially?

Yes, the ASCII art generated by this tool is created using simple Unicode block characters and is not subject to any copyright restrictions. You are free to use the output in any personal or commercial project.

Does this tool use any external libraries or APIs?

No, the ASCII art generator uses a completely built-in font rendering system with no external libraries, APIs, or server-side processing. All text conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript.

Why does my ASCII art look misaligned?

ASCII art requires a monospace (fixed-width) font to display correctly. Make sure you are viewing or pasting the output in an environment that uses a monospace font, such as a code editor, terminal, or HTML tag.

Can I use this for GitHub README files?

Absolutely! ASCII art headers are popular in GitHub README files. Simply copy the generated art and paste it inside a markdown code block (triple backticks) in your README.md file to preserve formatting.

Is my text data private?

Yes, all text processing happens entirely in your browser. Your input text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere. The tool runs completely client-side for full privacy and security.
