Turn any PNG into ASCII art
Drop a PNG into the converter and it is sampled into a grid of characters, light to dark, that recreates your image as text. Everything runs locally in your browser — your PNG is never uploaded to a server.
Why PNG works well
PNG keeps sharp edges and flat colour without compression noise, so logos, icons and screenshots convert cleanly. PNGs with transparency are handled too: fully transparent pixels become spaces, keeping the silhouette crisp.
Get a clean result
- Use a PNG with strong contrast and a clear subject.
- Start at 80–120 characters wide, then adjust.
- Raise contrast if the output looks grey and muddy.
- Switch charset for a denser or lighter style.
When you are happy, copy the text, download a TXT, or export a PNG/SVG — including a coloured version that keeps the original tones.
