Frequently asked questions

Which images work best?

High-contrast pictures like logos, faces with plain backgrounds and silhouettes. Busy photos turn into noise.

Why does it look stretched in my app?

ASCII art needs a monospace font, where every letter has the same width. Paste it into code blocks or notepad-style apps.

How wide should it be?

About 60–80 characters fits chats and code comments; 150+ gives more detail for printing or PNG export.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser.
