Frequently Asked Questions

What characters are used to create the ASCII art?

The tool maps pixel brightness to characters with different visual densities — from space (lightest) through punctuation and letters to # and @ (darkest), recreating shading through character choice.

Can I control how detailed the ASCII art is?

Yes. Adjust the output width (number of characters per row) and character density settings to control detail level. Higher width values produce more detailed but larger output.

Can I copy and paste the ASCII art into Discord or social media?

Yes. The ASCII art output is plain text that can be copied and pasted anywhere text is accepted, though best results appear in monospace-font environments.
