Discord ASCII Art Generator
Turn text into big block letters or convert any image into monospace ASCII — pre-wrapped in a Discord code block so it renders pixel-perfect in any channel.
4 font styles · image-to-ASCII · live 2000-char counter · pure browser, your input never leaves your device.

``` code block
Output exceeds Discord's 2,000-character limit. Shrink the width / shorten the text, or post via a Nitro account (4,000 cap).
How to use this Discord ASCII art generator
-
1
Pick text or image.
Text mode renders big block letters in one of four styles. Image mode samples each pixel's brightness and maps it to a character — works on PNG / JPG / WEBP / GIF / BMP up to 8 MB.
-
2
Watch the live preview render in Discord's exact monospace font.
The preview panel shows the art the way it'll look once you paste it. The character counter pings amber the moment you'd blow past the 2,000-character single-message limit.
-
3
Click Copy as code block.
The output is already wrapped in triple-backtick fences — paste straight into Discord and it renders monospace in any channel. Need the raw lines (for an embed, a webhook payload, or a code block with a language hint)? Tick "Copy raw" first.
-
4
Build it into something automatic.
Drop an ASCII banner into your Phantom welcome message, ticket greeting, or partnership showcase. The Embed Creator and Markdown Cheatsheet are right next door if you want to dress it up.
Frequently asked
Why does my ASCII art collapse without the code block?
Discord's default font is proportional, so characters take up different widths. ASCII art only lines up in a monospace font, which Discord only switches to inside code blocks (single backticks for inline, triple for multi-line). The Copy button always wraps your art for that reason — uncheck "Copy raw" if you've turned it off and the columns drift.
What's the largest image I can convert?
The file itself can be up to 8 MB. The output that fits in a single Discord message tops out around 80 cols × 24 rows — about 1,950 characters with the code-block wrapper. The width slider goes to 200 if you want to host the art somewhere with a higher cap (Nitro is 4,000); the character counter will tell you instantly when you're past 2,000.
Does my image leave the browser?
No. The whole pipeline — file read, canvas sample, brightness map — runs in your browser's memory. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the page doesn't ship any tracking pixels. Refresh the tab and your image is gone.
Which font style fits best in Discord?
Block is the safest — pure ASCII # characters render the same on every client. Shaded uses Unicode block drawing (▓ ▒ ░) for a polished 3-tone look; supported on all modern Discord clients. Mini is the compact 3-row variant for headers / footers without eating your character budget. Slant is the angled version when you want a "rough draft" or "graffiti" feel.
Can Phantom post ASCII art automatically?
Yes — paste the copied output (including the triple backticks) into any Phantom message: welcome / leave greetings, ticket panel intros, partnership showcase ads, custom commands, levelling level-up announcements. Discord renders it the same way as a hand-typed code block. Install Phantom — free during early access.
