ASCII Art Generator — frequently asked questions
How does image-to-ASCII conversion work?
The image is downsampled to a grid, each cell's brightness is measured, and a character is chosen from a ramp that goes from dense (#, @) to sparse (., space).
Can I use the output in code and terminal art?
Yes — output is plain monospace text you can paste into files, scripts, emails and ASCII comment headers, or download as .txt.
What makes the ASCII look good?
More width = more detail. Use the width slider around 80-120, and try inverting tones when a dark image renders weak.
