What is an ASCII Art Generator?

                            

                                ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and
                                consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable characters defined by the
                                ASCII Standard (from 1963).
                            

                            

                                This tool uses the FIGlet specification to generate large text banners.
                                It's popular in developer communities for adding flair to code comments, README files,
                                or terminal startup messages (MOTD).
                            

                        

                    


                    
                    

                        

                            
Common Use Cases

                            
    
                                
  • Code Headers: Add a large title comment at the top of your source
                                    files to identify modules.
    • 
                                
  • CLI Tools: Create a cool startup logo for your command-line
                                    interface applications.
    • 
                                
  • Social Media: Stand out in comments or bios where images aren't
                                    allowed but text is.
    • 
                                
  • README.md: Make your GitHub project title pop with a text banner.

Best Practices

                            
    
                                
  • Check Width: Large fonts like "Doom" or "Big" can easily exceed 80
                                    or 100 characters wide. Make sure your target (like a terminal window) handles it.
                                
    • 
                                
  • Use Monospace: ASCII art only aligns correctly in monospaced fonts
                                    (like Courier, Consolas, or standard terminal fonts). It will look broken in Arial
                                    or Times New Roman.

  • Escape Characters: If you paste this into code strings, remember to
                                    escape backslashes (\) and quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions


                            

                                
Can I use this in my commercial project?

                                

                                    Yes! The text itself is just characters. FIGlet fonts usually have their own
                                    licenses (often free/open source), but the text you generate is generally yours to
                                    use.
                                

                            


                            

                                
Why does it look broken when I paste it?

                                

                                    You are likely pasting it into a place that uses a proportional font (like a Word
                                    doc or Facebook post). Ensure you are pasting into a code block or a text editor
                                    that uses a monospaced font.
