ASCII Art Generator
Turn text into ASCII banner art.
Type text to see ASCII art
Enter a word above and it is drawn as a big monospace banner you can copy into a README, a code comment, or a terminal. Pick the block or small font to change the look.
Runs entirely in your browserGenerate ASCII banner art from text
Type a word or short phrase and this tool draws it as large ASCII art, where each letter is built from characters arranged over several rows. Pick the bold block font for a classic FIGlet-style banner, or the compact small font when space is tight. The result is plain monospace text, so you can paste it straight into a GitHub README, a source-code comment, a terminal message-of-the-day, or a chat message and it keeps its shape in any fixed-width font. Letters A–Z, digits 0–9, spaces, and common punctuation are supported, and the output updates as you type. The whole rendering runs in your browser with a built-in font table — there is no FIGlet install, no server call, and nothing you type is uploaded.
Common questions
What characters can it render?
Letters A–Z (lower-case is drawn with the same shapes as upper-case), digits 0–9, spaces, and common punctuation like . , ! ? : - + = _ / * # @ ( ) and apostrophes. Anything it does not have a glyph for is drawn as a blank gap so the layout never breaks.
What is the difference between the block and small fonts?
The block font is six rows tall with bold, filled letterforms — the classic banner look, best for headings. The small font is three rows tall and more compact, handy when vertical space matters, like a short label in a comment.
How do I use the result in a README or comment?
Click Copy and paste it into a fenced code block (triple backticks) in Markdown, or into a block comment in your source file. Because it is monospace art, keep it inside something that preserves fixed-width spacing so the letters stay aligned.
Does it use FIGlet or download fonts?
No. The letter shapes are defined directly in the tool as a small built-in table, so there is no FIGlet dependency and no font download. That is also why it works offline.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The art is generated entirely in your browser from the built-in font table. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
