Frequently asked questions

What makes a good ASCII art source?

High-contrast images with a clear subject work best. Increase the width for more detail, or lower it for a chunkier, more classic look.

Where can I use the result?

Anywhere monospaced text is supported — code comments, README files, terminals, Discord code blocks, and forum posts.
