Sheep Clipart ASCII Art
A cartoon sheep with a white woolly body, brown face and legs, and a small tail on a transparent background
The woolly body, face and legs form a textured pattern at 40 columns. At 80, the face and body outline separate more clearly, but the result is 44 rows tall and does not retain the source colors.
Built Standard preview: 100 columns by 55 rows. Each result card lists its recipe. Select the text below to copy it without JavaScript.

- Preparation
- The original SVG is bundled unchanged. Sharp 0.35.5 rasterizes it to a transparent PNG at 96 dpi for the browser editor and generated preview; transparency is composited to white by the converter. Evidence: Original SVG SHA-256 e8421e664adf4b26f91d9ebbf2a70b45fa3a3f514455e759444a937f1296cec6; derived PNG SHA-256 7a4dc1f47b92a4c7321400b5a3ab39f0bf55fb6f19ab6580189b9ebda91b0e96. The generated preview manifest records the sampled raster and output; scripts/build-example-previews.cjs uses Sharp/Lanczos3 and the production StandardMode..

Checking destination fit...
README and chat presets use printable ASCII. Unicode blocks and edge lines need matching font support; emoji can occupy different widths on another device. PNG keeps this browser's rendering, not another app's emoji style.
Sharing ASCII art in Telegram? Check monospace formatting and wrapping before sending. Ordinary chat formatting and Bot API HTML are different.
Edge detection
Edge Detection Only: 100 columns; rows = max(1, round(columns × source height / source width × 0.55)).
Edge Intensity: 1. Uses directional Unicode lines, not the selected character ramp.
Brightness 100%, contrast 100%, saturation 100%, hue 0, sepia 0%, inversion off. Dithering does not apply to this mode.
Open this recipe in the editor to keep this source, mode and settings. Browser resampling and fonts can differ from the built preview. Copy/TXT retain text; PNG uses black text on white at 12 px monospace, at least 1.2 line spacing and 20 px padding, independent of screen theme.
Character Optimization matches local glyph shapes in 4x8 cells at 8 px monospace. Compare texture with Standard; it is not a universal quality improvement, and your display font does not change the matching font.
Character Optimization
Character Optimization: 100 columns; rows = max(1, round(columns × source height / source width × 0.55)).
Character ramp: @%#*+=-:. (including a final space).
Brightness 100%, contrast 100%, saturation 100%, hue 0, sepia 0%, inversion off. Dithering: none.

Mosaic comparisons use 15 symbol columns, not the 100 columns of the character modes. The detailed recipe increases contrast to 150%; choose Coarse mosaic in the editor for the original five-column style.
Detailed emoji mosaic
Emoji Mosaic: sampling width 60, Emoji Size 4, squares set, transparent-cell symbol "⬜". Final columns = ceil(width / Emoji Size); rows depend on source aspect ratio.
Brightness 100%, contrast 150%, saturation 100%, hue 0, sepia 0%, inversion off. Dithering does not apply to this mode.

What changes in this comparison?
The woolly body fills most of the output, with the brown face and legs appearing as denser patches. At 80 columns the face and body outline separate more clearly.
Look for the face on the left, the large fleece shape, and the legs below it. The 80-column result is 44 rows tall.

Open comparison 2 in the editor
This detailed cartoon maps into a busy character pattern; neither output preserves the brown-and-white colors, and the longer grid may not suit narrow terminals.
Standard specimens use @%#*+=-:. including the final space. Unless labeled otherwise, brightness, contrast and saturation are 100%, hue is 0, sepia is 0%, inversion is off and dithering is None.
Observations refer to these built specimens, not a best-setting recommendation. Sampling uses Sharp/Lanczos3 and the site's conversion code. Browser sampling and fonts may differ. View this comparison source.
