Image to ASCII Art Converter

Where this works best

• Width is capped at ~26 characters by default on purpose. A row that fits fine in a wide PC browser window will silently wrap onto the next line in a narrow phone chat bubble — and one wrapped row shifts every row below it, turning the whole image into noise. This has been tested on real narrow screens; going wider risks exactly that distortion on mobile.
• Instagram / Facebook / LinkedIn comments — use Braille. These platforms strip monospace fonts and collapse spaces, but Braille dot-patterns stay recognisable in any font. Each has its own comment character limit — use the "Posting to" chips above so the art is auto-sized to fit in one paste.
• WhatsApp / Telegram chat — wrap the copied text in triple backticks (```like this```) when you paste, to force a true monospace font so rows line up perfectly. Pasting without the backticks uses the app's normal font, which is not guaranteed to line up.
• Check the mobile preview below the art before posting — it's rendered at real phone-bubble width, so if it's going to wrap, you'll see it there first.
• Outline only traces just the edges instead of shading the whole photo — it's the fastest to recognise and reads clearly at an even smaller width, so it fits in a shorter comment.
• Anywhere as a picture — hit "Download as Image" for a PNG sized to that platform's real canvas (1080×1080 for feed/comment images, 1080×1920 for WhatsApp Status) so it fills the frame properly on a phone instead of getting letterboxed or cropped.
