How the text to ASCII art converter works

- Each character is looked up in a built-in 5-row block font.
- The glyphs are stitched together row by row into one block of monospaced ASCII art.
FAQ
What characters are supported?
The 26 letters A-Z, digits 0-9, and spaces - each mapped to its own small 5-row block glyph built from # and . characters.
Why is there a 20-character limit?
ASCII art widens quickly - each letter takes 4-6 columns - so a 20-character limit keeps the output readable without needing to scroll excessively on most screens.
Where can I use the output?
Anywhere that displays plain monospaced text - code comments, terminal banners, README files, or chat messages in apps that use a monospace font.
Does the text formatting survive being pasted into a normal font?
No. ASCII art relies on every character occupying the same width, so it only lines up correctly in a monospace font.
