# Image to ASCII

> Free browser-based image-to-ASCII converter. User-selected images are processed on the device; the website uses Google Analytics separately for usage measurement.

## Converter
- [English converter](https://imagetoascii.art/): JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF input decoded by the browser. GIF input produces a still result, not animation. Copy plain text, Markdown, README, comments or ANSI; export TXT, PNG, SVG, HTML or ANSI.
- [French converter](https://imagetoascii.art/fr/): French interface for the same tool.

## Guides
- [GitHub README ASCII guide](https://imagetoascii.art/guides/github-readme-ascii/): Presets, fenced code blocks, width and color limitations.
- [Discord ASCII formatting](https://imagetoascii.art/guides/discord-ascii/): Preserve spacing and use PNG when text does not fit.
- [ASCII blog cover guide](https://imagetoascii.art/guides/blog-ascii-cover/): Compare actual 80- and 200-column results and choose an image export for a cover.
- [Privacy and about](https://imagetoascii.art/privacy/): Local image processing, analytics and contact.
- [Confidentialité et présentation](https://imagetoascii.art/fr/privacy/): French privacy and publisher information.

## Learn
- [Learning experiments](https://imagetoascii.art/learn/): Real generated outputs and reproducible public recipes.
- [ASCII width guide](https://imagetoascii.art/learn/ascii-width-guide/): Same-source 40/80/120/200-column comparisons for a mark and portrait artwork.
- [Why ASCII art looks stretched](https://imagetoascii.art/learn/why-ascii-art-looks-stretched/): Cell proportions, fonts, line spacing and wrapping.
- [ASCII character ramps](https://imagetoascii.art/learn/ascii-character-ramp/): Compare the five supported character sets; Blocks is Unicode.

## Limitations
Simple, Dense, Detailed and Minimal character sets produce ASCII characters. Blocks uses Unicode. Text appearance depends on the destination font and line spacing. The service does not offer animated GIF output or a public API.
