Frequently asked questions

What width should I pick for ASCII art?
80 to 120 characters fits most terminals and chat messages. Go higher (200+) for detailed art meant to be viewed in a code editor or pasted into a wide document.
Why does my ASCII art look stretched vertically?
Monospace characters are taller than they are wide, so a square image rendered one character per pixel looks elongated. The tool compensates by sampling fewer rows than columns.
What kinds of images work best as ASCII?
High-contrast photos with a clear subject and simple background convert cleanest. Busy scenes with subtle gradients become muddy because ASCII has very limited tonal range.
