Frequently Asked Questions
What makes good ASCII art?
Images with strong contrast and clear shapes work best. Portraits, logos, and silhouettes tend to produce recognizable ASCII art. Very detailed or low-contrast images may be harder to interpret.
How does the character width affect quality?
More characters means more detail. A width of 80-120 works well for most images. Very wide outputs (200+) capture more detail but may be hard to view without zooming out.
Can I use the ASCII art commercially?
The ASCII art is generated from your own images, so usage rights depend on your rights to the original image. The tool itself adds no restrictions.
