FAQ

Q: How does ASCII art work?
A: The image is divided into a grid. Each cell's brightness is mapped to a character — dark areas use dense characters like @ or #, light areas use . or space.

Q: What image formats are supported?
A: JPG, PNG, WebP, and other common image formats supported by browsers.

Q: Why does my ASCII art look distorted?
A: ASCII characters are typically taller than wide. The generator compensates automatically, but you can adjust the width for better results.
