About this tool
Each letter is drawn from a small built-in 5-row pixel font — this covers A–Z, 0–9, and spaces, converted to uppercase automatically since the font has no separate lowercase glyphs. Any character outside that set (accented letters, most punctuation) is rendered as a blank column rather than breaking the banner. Paste the result anywhere monospace text is preserved — code comments, plain-text emails, terminal banners, READMEs.
Nothing you type here is sent to a server — the entire tool runs as JavaScript in your browser tab.
Questions about ASCII art
What is ASCII art?
Pictures or lettering made from ordinary keyboard characters, often used in code comments, READMEs and terminal banners.
Why does my banner look broken when I paste it?
It needs a monospaced font, where every character is the same width. Put it in a code block or plain-text email.
Which characters are supported?
A–Z, 0–9 and spaces. Letters are made uppercase, and other characters become a blank space.
Can I use other characters to draw with?
Yes. Type any character into the fill box.
