generate ascii art from text online
Each typed character becomes a fixed 5-row-tall drawing, built with # (block), * (dot) or @ (dense); the result comes out as plain text, no image, ready to paste anywhere that accepts a monospace font.
The 9 letters fit in 49 columns of width, well under the 80 limit, so everything comes out in a single block, with no wrap in the middle of the phrase.
With the width capped at 40 columns, the text wraps into 3 blocks; # and % have no glyph of their own, so both use the placeholder drawing and show up listed as unsupported characters.
NFD decomposition splits "é" into "e" plus an accent mark, the accent is dropped and the text becomes "CAFE" in uppercase before any letter gets drawn.
It is plain text arranged to look like a banner. That makes it easy to copy, version and use in environments without image support.
Three: block fills letters with #, dot uses * with wider spacing between letters and words, and dense uses @ packed with no gap between letters, only between words. All three draw each character on a grid 5 rows tall.
Accents are automatically stripped before drawing (so "ação" becomes "ACAO"). Characters with no glyph of their own, like emoji, rare symbols or punctuation outside the supported list, fall back to a placeholder drawing and get listed as unsupported.
Through the max-width control, which accepts 20 to 160 columns (default 80). The lower the value, the sooner a word no longer fits and the generator closes the current block to start another, separated by a blank line.
ASCII art will appear here as soon as you type something.
