Field notes
Does my image leave my device?+
No. The image is decoded and rendered in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
Why does my output look stretched?+
ASCII characters are taller than they are wide. Keep aspect-ratio compensation enabled for more natural proportions.
What can I use ASCII art for?+
Copy it into a terminal, README, Discord message, code comment, social bio, or poster concept.
