How to make ASCII art

  1. 1. Type short text into the generator.
  2. 2. Preview the ASCII art output and keep the text short for mobile screens.
  3. 3. Copy and paste it into Discord, comments, terminals, docs or README files.
  4. 4. If line breaks collapse in an app, paste inside a code block or monospaced field.

Where ASCII art works best

ASCII art works best in apps that preserve spaces and line breaks, such as terminals, code blocks, README files, plain text notes and some chat apps. For social bios and narrow mobile screens, shorter banners are easier to read and less likely to wrap awkwardly.

ASCII art, symbols and emojis

Classic ASCII art uses keyboard characters only. You can still mix it with Unicode symbols, kaomoji and emojis when the destination supports them. For decorative bios, combine this page with the fancy text generator or symbol pages.
