Frequently Asked Questions
How does image to ASCII conversion work?
The image is drawn onto a canvas element, then each pixel region is sampled for brightness. Dark areas get dense characters like @ and #, while bright areas use light characters like periods and spaces, creating a text mosaic of the original image.
What image formats are supported?
All common formats work: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG. Processing happens entirely in your browser — no images are uploaded to any server. Your photos stay private.
How can I improve the ASCII art quality?
Use higher width values (100-150 characters) for more detail. High-contrast images with clear subjects produce the best results. Try the "Detailed" character set for more nuance, or "Blocks" for a different aesthetic.
