Tips for cleaner ASCII art
High-contrast photos (silhouettes, portraits with strong lighting, logos on flat backgrounds) convert best. Busy backgrounds turn into noise — crop tight before uploading.
How conversion works
The image is resized to your chosen width, then each pixel is mapped to a character based on its brightness. Brighter pixels become lighter characters (or vice versa, if you invert).
