About this tool

What is ASCII Art?

ASCII art uses printable characters to form text banners and pictures. The classic FIGlet tool (1991) renders text in oversized "fonts" made of ASCII characters β€” popular for terminal banners, README headers, MOTD greetings, and source code dividers.

Where to Use ASCII Art

Add a banner to your CLI tool's startup output, decorate the top of a README, embed in source code as a header, sign emails or text-mode signatures, and use as decorative section dividers in markdown documents.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What font styles are available for ASCII art?

The generator uses FIGlet fonts β€” dozens of styles from blocky "Standard" and "Big" to slim "Slant" and decorative options, all rendered client-side.

Can I use ASCII art in a README or terminal app?

Yes β€” copy the output directly into a README.md code block or print it from your CLI tool's startup script; it renders correctly anywhere monospace text is displayed.

Does text length matter?

Long input can produce wide banners that wrap awkwardly in narrow terminals β€” keep banner text short (a name, a short phrase) for the cleanest result.
