Image to ASCII Art Generator

Turn a picture into ASCII art you can copy or download. Pick a character ramp, set the output width and flip light/dark to suit a light or dark background. The image is read with FileReader and drawn to a local canvas — nothing is uploaded, and the conversion makes no network requests.
