ASCII Art Text Generator

ASCII art banners spell words in big letters made of ordinary keyboard characters. They are a classic for code comments, terminal splash screens, README files and chat. This generator uses FIGlet, the standard tool for such banners, with a choice of fonts and letter spacing.

How to use ASCII Art Text Generator

1. Type a short word or phrase.
2. Pick a font and the letter spacing.
3. Copy the banner, or download it as a text file.

When it comes in handy

• Headers in source code and config files.
• Welcome banners for command-line tools and servers.
• Fun text for chats, forums and profiles.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it look wrong when I paste it?

ASCII art needs a monospaced font. Paste it into a code block, a terminal or a plain text editor; in proportional fonts the letters fall apart.

Where do the fonts come from?

They are FIGlet fonts loaded with the open-source figlet.js library when you open the tool.
