Frequently Asked Questions
What characters can the ASCII Art Generator render?
The built-in font covers A–Z and 0–9 (case-insensitive; lowercase is upper-cased automatically). Punctuation and other symbols currently render as a blank glyph, so stick to letters and numbers for a clean result.
What is the difference between the Block, Banner, and Simple font styles?
Block renders each pixel of the 5×5 glyph as a solid █ character. Banner doubles the glyph width and uses ## for a bolder, wider look. Simple traces the outline of each letter using /, \, -, and | characters for a line-art style instead of filled blocks.
How do the Scale and "Characters per line" controls work together?
Scale (1×–4×) multiplies the size of every glyph pixel, making the output bigger. "Characters per line" (1–32) wraps long input text onto multiple ASCII-art lines before rendering, so a 20-character title with a width of 12 will render as two stacked lines of art.
Does the art update as I type, or do I need to click a button?
It updates live. Typing in the text box, changing the font, or adjusting scale/width immediately re-renders the output — there is no separate "generate" step.
Can I copy the ASCII art with its spacing intact?
Yes. Copy output places the exact monospace text — including all leading spaces — on your clipboard, ready to paste into a code comment, README, or terminal banner where a monospace font is used.
