How can I save my ASCII art?

You have three options:

• Copy to clipboard for quick sharing
• Download as a .txt file to preserve the raw text

Why does my ASCII art look stretched?

ASCII characters are typically taller than they are wide. You might need to adjust your output width or try different fonts to achieve the desired proportions.
