Terms of Use

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Summary of these terms of use

These terms of use apply to everyone who visits ASCII Art Generator. In short: the tools are free, they run in your browser, what you create is yours, you are responsible for the pictures you convert, and the site comes without a warranty. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About this site

ASCII Art Generator is an independent website with free tools for making ASCII and text art: converting images, videos and a webcam picture into characters, turning text into large letters, framing messages and copying ready-made text art. The site is free to use and does not require an account.

Your content and what you create

Images, videos, camera pictures and text you use with the tools are processed in your browser and are never uploaded to us, so we do not receive or claim any rights in them. The ASCII art, text banners and messages you create belong to you to the extent the law allows, and you may use them for personal or commercial purposes.

Converting a picture into characters does not change who owns the original. If you convert a photo, a logo, a film or a character that belongs to someone else, their rights may still apply to the result. You are responsible for having the right to use the material you convert and for how you use the output.

Gallery content

The multi-line pieces in the text art copy and paste gallery were made for this site, and you may copy, change and use them freely, including commercially, without credit. One-line emoticons and kaomoji are common expressions that belong to no one. You may not republish the gallery as a whole as your own collection.

Fonts and open-source software

Text banners are drawn with figlet.js (MIT license) and FIGlet fonts distributed with it; each font file credits its original designer. GIF files are encoded with gifenc (MIT license). Text and images you generate with these fonts can be used freely. The font files themselves remain subject to the terms stated in their headers.

Acceptable use

Do not use the site to break the law, to infringe other people's rights, or to harass or harm anyone. Do not try to disrupt the site, overload it with automated requests, or get around its security. Because the tools run on your own device, you are also responsible for the output you share, for example in chats, on social media or in software.

Camera and browser features

The webcam tool uses your camera only after you press Start webcam and grant permission. Recording uses your browser's built-in MediaRecorder; whether it is available and which formats it produces depends on your browser. The converter uses WebGPU when your browser supports it and Canvas 2D otherwise. None of these features give the site access to anything outside the page.

Availability

We aim to keep the site available, but we may change, pause or remove any tool at any time without notice. Results can differ between browsers and devices, because fonts, graphics drivers and supported media formats vary.

Advertising and links

The site may show ads to cover its costs and may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the content, products or privacy practices of advertisers or linked sites.

No warranty

The site and its tools are provided "as is", without any warranty, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee that a result will look the same in every app, font or device.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or its results, including lost data, lost files, or problems caused by sharing generated content. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, in which case they apply only as far as permitted.

Privacy

How we handle data is explained in the Privacy Policy.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms of use. The date at the top shows the latest version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
