Text to ASCII Art Examples
Compare 8 FIGlet font previews below, then try your own text.
ASCII text art converts ordinary words into eye-catching text banners using special character patterns. Each font style below uses a different FIGlet font — an open standard for rendering text as larger ASCII art characters.
Copy a ready-made banner for a README or terminal, or enter your own text below. The default previews are generated when the site is built; custom text is generated in your browser. The text-to-ASCII generator has the full font library.
