Frequently asked questions
Why does my ASCII art look stretched?
Characters are taller than they are wide; the tool compensates, but some fonts differ — view it in a monospace font.
Should I invert?
Invert for dark text backgrounds (like terminals); leave it off for dark text on white.
Which images work best?
Portraits and logos with strong contrast and simple backgrounds.
