ASCII Art Text Generator

How to use

1. 1Type a short word or phrase in the input. Press Enter for multi-line output.
2. 2Pick a font that fits where the art will live. Use Block or Shadow for README heroes, Banner for old-school dividers, Slant for a header look, and Small or Mini for code comments.
3. 3Tune the spacing: Smush is the tightest, Fitted is balanced, Full keeps each letter on its own column block.
4. 4Optional: force the case to UPPERCASE or lowercase, and adjust the blank-row gap between input lines.
5. 5Read the ASCII art block under the controls and check the line and column count.
6. 6Click Copy ASCII to grab the raw text, Copy as Markdown to paste it inside a fenced code block, or Copy as // or # comment to drop it straight into a source file.

About this tool

ASCII Art Text Generator turns a word or short phrase into a multi-line ASCII art banner suitable for a README hero, a CLI splash screen, a code-comment divider, or a chat-room signature. Six hand-tuned fonts ship inline: Block (a solid 5-row hash banner that reads well on GitHub), Banner (a 6-row heavy slab style with the classic ASCII READMEs vibe), Slant (5-row italic-feel letters that lean to the right for a header look), Small (3-row compact letters that fit in a single CLI block), Mini (2-row tiny letters for cramped log lines), and Shadow (5-row block letters with a drop shadow). Every font covers A-Z, 0-9, and the punctuation a banner usually needs (space, exclamation, question, period, comma, colon, semicolon, hyphen, underscore, plus, equals, slash, backslash, brackets, parentheses, hash, at, dollar, asterisk). Lowercase input falls back to the uppercase glyph because the bundled fonts ship one case per font, which mirrors how every FIGlet font behaves. A spacing toggle picks the kerning rule: Smush overlaps adjacent letters wherever blank columns line up (the default, tightest output), Fitted collapses only the shared blank column gap (a balanced look), and Full keeps each letter on its own column block (the cleanest grid). A letter-case toggle lets you force everything to UPPERCASE, lowercase, or leave it as typed, and a numeric gap setting controls how many blank rows go between input lines so a two-line banner has breathing room. Three one-click copy actions emit the result as plain ASCII, as a Markdown fenced code block ready for a GitHub README, or as a JavaScript-style or hash-style comment ready to paste into source code, a shell script, a Python or Ruby file, or a YAML config. Everything happens locally in your browser. The text you type is never uploaded to a server, and the fonts are embedded in the page itself so the tool works offline once it loads.
