Turn a video or your webcam feed into animated ASCII pixel art. Tweak colors, resolution and text style, then export as a PNG or video.
This tool reads each frame of your video, breaks it into a grid of cells, measures the brightness of every cell, and replaces it with a text character - lighter areas use denser characters and darker areas use lighter ones. Everything runs in your browser.
Higher values produce smaller cells and a more detailed, finer ASCII grid.
Text fades between two colors based on brightness; the background can follow a matching gradient.
Switch to User Text mode to spell out your own words instead of brightness characters.
Everything runs locally with HTML5 canvas. No uploads, no servers, no watermarks.
Encode, decode, measure sizes, and transform common formats.
