Image Resizer

Convert Image

Every time you run ASCII Art Generator, you will enter into the default frame of ‘Convert Image’, the panel for converting a digital picture into its text version. ASCII Art Generator supports gif, jpeg, bmp image files, and saves the exported file into four popular formats, namely html, ASCII, rtf and image. You can complete the conversion quickly and easily within just three clicks: click the ‘browse’ button to locate the picture you wish to convert, and select the output format you like, and then ‘Start Convert’.

  Convert Options

There are a lot of popular and thoughtful convert options available in ASCII Art Generator, which you cannot skip for optimal and individual converting results.
These options are not presented for ASCII output format due to the individual attributes of this file itself.

    Fonts

ASCII Art Generator can recognize all the mono-spaced fonts installed in your PC and launch them in itself automatically. You can choose the font type and size you wish to apply in your awesome text image, and besides, italic and bold effects are also available.

    Text Modes

ASCII Art Generator can create text images in 6 different Text Modes, which are as follows:
Custom – ASCII Art Generator uses any character(s), or even a meaningful message you specified, like ‘I Love You’ to comprise the image you wish to be converted. From a distance it looks like a unique, cool artwork, and up close you’ll find a colorful text readable as ‘Kiss You’.
Random - ASCII Art Generator produces a html, rtf or image file composed of random characters, including letters, both uppercase and lowercase, digits, punctuations and so on.
A to Z - ASCII Art Generator creates text images using uppercase letters from the alphabet 'A to Z'
a to z - ASCII Art Generator creates text images using lowercase letters from the alphabet 'a to z'
Numeric –ASCII Art Generator exports numerical images made of digits from ‘0-9’
0 and 1 –ASCII Art Generator produces random numerical images from the two binary numbers '0 and 1' only.

    Line height

For the exported files in html or image format, Line Height option is available in ASCII Art Generator. It’s a great function used to achieve better output effects by adjusting the space between the text lines, and then the proportion, of the exported text image.

    Background Color

The background color of the converted picture can be changed in the output text version with countless choices offered in ASCII Art Generator.

    Alignment

ASCII Art Generator also enables you to adjust the alignment of html text images by choosing from the three sub-options: center, left and right.

    Html Header

One more cute option for output html file in ASCII Art Generator – you can even put a meaningful header on the html page of text image you create, for instance, a ‘Happy Birthday’ title for the exported html page of a candle-lit birthday cake.

    Visual Editor

ASCII Art Generator features a very cool ‘Visual Editor’, which offers you a visual, real-time converting process. After you launch first ‘Start Convert’ in the ‘Image Conversion’ frame, you enter into ‘Visual Editor’, and it allows you a second or even more touches to the artwork you created. You could resize the original image via the convenient-to-use track bar – usually makes it smaller, for ASCII Art produces a much bigger text than the original one owe to its low definition – as well as reset all the convert options, such as font type, font size, and line height.
When your finishing touches are perfectly done, click ‘Save As’ button, or ‘Save as Desktop’ for Image output format only, and then you could sit back and admire your own artwork proudly!

    Gray Scale

Gray scale indicates the shades of gray between black and white that can be presented on a display device. When you want to convert a digital picture into ASCII format, the Gray Scale option is available in ASCII Art Generator. The capture of more gray levels per color in image output allows shadow details to be heightened; on the contrary, the less gray levels means a more clear-cut image at the loss of details.

Convert Word

In the ‘Convert Word’ frame of ASCII Art Generator, you can convert plain words into Big ASCII Art Words, for usage in your forum post, email signature, or cute artwork to show off on the web or in your documents.

  Font and Effect

ASCII Art Generator allows setting the type and size of font used in the generated Big Text, and Italic and Bold effects are also available.
Besides, there are five different output effects in ASCII Art Generator, including Striking, Common, Follow, Up-Down and Left-Right, and you can select an alternate mode from the drop-down box to suit your taste.

  Char Config

You can specify the characters, words or message you’d like to convert in the field of ‘Word(s)’. For example, first input word ‘Up’, and then specify the Foreground character as ‘1’ and Background character as ‘.’, and click the ‘Start Convert’ button: ASCII Art Generator makes a cool Big ASCII Art Word as below, which can be displayed in your forum post.

  Add to existing

If you tick the box before ‘Add to existing’, you can add new word(s) Horizontally or Vertically to the previous big word you create by repeating the above setting steps.

  Copy, Save and Clear

If you feel satisfied about the Big ASCII Art Word you create, now you can copy and paste it by right-click in the clipboard, or save it as a text file. Otherwise, just click ‘Clear’ button to do it all over again. Of course, ‘Clear’ option is always available whenever you feel dissatisfied.

Free Draw

ASCII Art Generator features a cute and easy-to-use drawing toolkit called ‘Free Draw’. It enables you to ‘draw’ your own ASCII Art, such as animals, people, electronics, vehicles, food, and weapons composed of numbers, letters, punctuations or a combination of them.
As a whole, you can them special line drawings; separately, each part is just one character or several characters on the computer keyboard. To be more specific and clearer, let’s take an example and look at a cute ASCII Art dog created on the ‘Free Draw’ canvas.
All you need to do is select the character you want to use, and enter into drawing mode by clicking on the pencil icon, then drag the ‘Pen’ while pressing the left-click button on the canvas. You can remove the dissatisfied part using the Eraser, or wipe out all by clicking the ‘Clear’ button.
When your ASCII Art is done, you can save it into a text file on your computer, or switch to the tap sheet of ‘Text’ beside the ‘Canvas’, which is synchronous with the ‘Canvas’ sheet, and copy and paste it on the clipboard, or your forum post, or anywhere else you’d like.
You'll be amazed at what you can draw with keyboard characters in ASCII Art Generator.
