How to use the Image to ASCII Art
Drop a high-contrast photo or logo.
Set the width, character set and invert if needed — the preview updates live.
Copy the text or download .txt / .png.
Easy to use
Drop files, pick options, download. Whole folders at once, no signup, no daily limit.
Best quality
The same engines the professionals use — SVGO, resvg, MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif — compiled to run in your browser.
Private & secure
Files are processed on your device and never uploaded. Close the tab and nothing remains anywhere.
Pictures made of characters
ASCII art maps each part of an image to a text character by brightness, so a picture becomes something you can paste
into a README, a code comment, a terminal banner or a chat message. High-contrast sources — logos, silhouettes,
portraits on a plain background — convert best; raise the width for more detail, and invert for light-on-dark
terminals.
Copy the text directly, or download it as a .txt file or a rendered .png for places that will not keep monospacing
intact. The image is sampled on a canvas in your browser and never uploaded. For a hand-drawn look instead, try
Photo to Sketch.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good ASCII source image?
High contrast and a clear subject. Logos, silhouettes and portraits with a plain background convert best; busy scenes turn to noise. Raise the width for more detail.
Where can I use the result?
Paste the text into a README, a code comment, a terminal banner or a chat message, or use the PNG when the destination will not keep monospacing intact.
Is my image uploaded?
No — it is read into a canvas and sampled for brightness entirely in your browser.
Most online converters upload your file to a server. InfyTool ships the actual encoders to your browser as WebAssembly instead, so processing happens inside your tab — faster for batches, and nothing to delete afterwards.
No upload, ever. Turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and every tool keeps working.
No limits. No file-size cap, no queue, no watermark, no account.
