How to use: generate ASCII art text
Turn short text into large figlet-style ASCII art in one of five bundled fonts, entirely in the browser.
- 1
Open the ASCII Art Generator
Visit makemytxt.com/ascii-art. The first render may take a moment while the figlet library downloads.
- 2
Type your text
Enter up to 20 characters. ASCII art gets wide fast, so shorter text usually looks best.
- 3
Pick a font
Choose from Standard, Big, Banner, Block, or Doom. Preview each to see which suits your banner.
- 4
Copy the output
Click the Copy button to paste the ASCII art into a README, terminal message, or comment block. The monospace output copies exactly as rendered.
Frequently asked questions
- Why are only 5 fonts available?
- figlet ships with hundreds of fonts, but bundling them all would bloat the page. We hand-picked five that cover common use cases — from thin Banner to chunky Block — and lazy-load them.
- Will the art look right when I paste it?
- Only in a monospace font. Paste into a code editor, terminal, or any context using a fixed-width font. Proportional fonts will make the art look distorted.
- Is my text sent to a server?
- No. The figlet library runs locally in your browser. Your input is never transmitted.
- Why is there a 20-character limit?
- Most figlet fonts are 6-12 characters wide per letter, so 20 input characters can already render 200+ columns — the maximum that stays readable in most terminals and GitHub READMEs.
