Frequently asked questions
How does it work?＋
The image is scaled down and each pixel's brightness is mapped to a character, from dense symbols for dark areas to spaces for light ones.
Can I use it on a dark background?＋
Yes — toggle invert so the brightness mapping suits light-on-dark display.
Is my image private?＋
Yes — the conversion happens entirely in your browser.
