How to use Create JPG from ANSI Art
- 1. Paste your ANSI art. Paste text containing ANSI escape codes, such as \x1b[38;2;255;0;0mHello\x1b[0m, into the input pane. The tool reads the codes to determine each character's color.
- 2. Set the font size. Enter Font size (px) to control how large the rendered text appears, which determines the overall pixel dimensions of the output image.
- 3. Download the rendered JPG. Click generate and download ansi-art.jpg. The colored text is drawn on a dark canvas, matching how ANSI art typically looks inside a terminal window.
When to use Create JPG from ANSI Art
Create JPG from ANSI Art turns text containing ANSI color escape codes into a static image, complete with the colors those codes describe. It is for whenever ANSI art needs to be shared somewhere that cannot interpret escape sequences, like an image field or a printed document.
- Archiving terminal art as an image. A piece of colored ANSI art copied from a terminal session needs to be preserved as a picture, since pasting raw escape codes elsewhere would just show garbled characters.
- Posting to platforms without ANSI support. A forum, wiki or image board cannot render ANSI escape codes, so converting the art to a JPG lets it display exactly as intended without any special formatting.
- Documentation screenshots without a real terminal. A tutorial needs to show what a colored terminal banner looks like, and rendering the ANSI source directly to a JPG produces a consistent screenshot without capturing an actual terminal window.

You can shape the output with the Font size (px) setting, and the result refreshes the moment you change it.
