ASCII Art Generator

Type letters and digits and get a five-row block banner using an embedded font. Words on the same line are drawn side by side; start a new line for another row of blocks. Choose a fill character (the ink that replaces # in the template). Your draft stays in localStorage on this device — nothing is uploaded to DroidXP.

Ad placement — top banner

The font uses a fixed grid; the fill replaces every “ink” cell. Words are separated by spaces; only A–Z and 0–9 are kept inside each word.


              

Paste into contexts that use a monospace font (terminal, code blocks, plain-text email). Proportional fonts will break alignment.

What this ASCII art generator does

It renders your input with a single built-in block font: five text rows per line of output, one column per letter or digit. Letters are uppercased; characters that are not part of the font are removed from each word before drawing. That keeps banners predictable and avoids broken columns from mixed scripts.

Words, lines, and spacing

Whitespace splits words. Each word becomes its own block of glyphs; multiple words on one input line are placed next to each other with a gap between blocks. A new line in the editor starts another band of text below (separated by a blank line in the output when you use multiple lines). This matches how many people expect to type a short headline and a second line for a subtitle.

Fill character

The internal template uses # as ink. Your chosen fill replaces every # so you can match a theme (*, @, X, and so on). If the fill were empty or only spaces, the tool falls back to # so the art stays visible.

Privacy and drafts

Text is not sent to DroidXP. The current input is saved under localStorage key droidxp-aa-draft so a refresh does not wipe your work. Use Clear to remove the stored draft.

How to use this tool

  1. Step 1: Type or paste lines of text (letters, digits, and spaces). Try Load sample for a quick demo.
  2. Step 2: Choose a fill character and adjust the text until the banner fits your use case.
  3. Step 3: Copy output and paste where monospace alignment matters — README headers, release notes, or chat in a fixed-width font.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DroidXP upload my text?

No. Rendering runs in your browser. Only a local draft may be stored in localStorage on this device.

Which characters can I use?

The font supports A–Z and 0–9. Punctuation attached to words is stripped before drawing. Characters outside that set are not drawn as custom glyphs — they may disappear when cleaning a word.

How are multiple words on one line laid out?

Each word is a full block of letters; blocks on the same input line are placed side by side with spacing between them. Use line breaks in the editor for additional rows of banners.

What does the fill character do?

It replaces every ink cell in the template (the # cells). Pick a character that reads well in your target font size and background.

Why did my accents or emoji disappear?

Only ASCII letters and digits are kept per word. Accented letters and emoji are removed during cleaning, not mapped to ASCII equivalents.

Is this the same as FIGlet or toilet?

No. Those tools typically offer many fonts and often run on the server or CLI. This page ships one compact 5-row font for fast, private banners in the browser.

Why is my draft back after refresh?

The tool saves your input to localStorage so you do not lose work. Use Clear to remove it.

Will monospace fonts line up everywhere?

ASCII art assumes fixed-width display. Web pages, email, and chat apps that use proportional fonts will misalign columns — switch to monospace or a plain-text view when possible.

Can very long lines freeze the tab?

Very long words or many words on one line produce wide output and can be slower on low-end hardware. Split content across lines or shorten phrases.
