Name: Image to ASCII
Rating: 5.0 (1 reviews)

Give your README a signature, your Discord a mascot, or your next blog post a character-art cover. Turn photos and logos into ASCII locally in your browser—free, with no signup or image upload. Start with a built-in example, compare before/after, and tune presets, detail and color. Copy text or Markdown; export TXT, PNG, SVG, HTML or ANSI. Text formats keep editable characters; image exports preserve the look. Try the neon jellyfish or make an 80-column fox README mark.

Turned a random screenshot into ASCII art in about 10 seconds, no signup, no upload to some server - it all runs locally in the browser which is exactly what a tool like this should do. The before/after comparison and preset tuning (detail, color) made it easy to dial in something usable for a README instead of just a generic ASCII blob. Export options (TXT, PNG, SVG, HTML, ANSI) cover basically every use case I could think of, from a GitHub README to a Discord mascot.

A gallery of a few more built-in examples beyond the jellyfish would help people get a feel for what presets look like before uploading their own image. Also would be nice to save/name a few preset combos instead of re-tuning detail and color every time.
