How to use Convert Text to ASCII Art

  1. 1. Type your text. Type or paste a short word or phrase into the input pane. Each character is rendered as a large block letter built from filled and blank cells, one letter at a time.
  2. 2. See it rendered as a banner. The tool stacks each letter's block glyph side by side to form one wide banner. Short words and single lines work best since every character adds several columns of width.
  3. 3. Copy the ASCII banner. Copy the finished banner from the output pane and paste it into a terminal splash screen, code comment header or README where a monospace font keeps the letters aligned.

When to use Convert Text to ASCII Art

Convert Text to ASCII Art renders a short word or phrase as a large block-letter banner built entirely from text characters, the kind of oversized heading seen in terminal splash screens, README files and old figlet banners. Instead of hand drawing block letters or installing a figlet font pack, this generates the banner directly from typed text.

  • Adding a startup banner to a CLI tool. A command line tool prints its name in large letters when it launches. Typing the project name here generates the banner text to paste directly into the startup script.
  • Heading a README or changelog file. A project's README looks more distinctive with a large text banner above the description instead of a plain markdown heading. Converting the project name produces that banner as plain text.
  • Making an ASCII greeting for a message board. A forum post, Discord message or terminal MOTD wants a bold, attention grabbing header. Converting a short phrase here produces text art that renders correctly in any monospace context.
  • Signing off a script's output. A build or deployment script prints a friendly banner at the end of a successful run. Generating the block letter text here gives the script something more visible than a plain success message.

Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.

Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
