Image to Dot Art Generator
Create text art using this simple image to text art converter. Create your own custom ASCII art that you can copy and paste. Converts images to braille text.
Also try our dot art editor and our emoji art editor.

Settings
The image will be converted into pure black and white using a threshold, and then the resulting image will be converted into text art using Braille Unicode characters.
Mode:
This determines the pre-processing that is applied to the image before thesholding it into a pure black and white image. Certain modes work best for certain types of images. If the resulting dot art looks bad, try another mode, or adjust some settings.
← make it smaller
more detailed →
A larger value produces higher-resolution text art, but note that wide dot art will be distorted by line wrapping if copy-pasted into places that aren't wide enough. So ideally you should choose a size that is big enough to show all the important details, but no bigger.
Threshold range: to
The threshold value (between zero and one) is the cut-off greyscale which decides whether a pixel is made black or white. Several versions of the dot art will be created within this range of thresholds.
← make it darker
make it lighter →
This adjusts the "cut-off" value at which the pixels become white or black. You should adjust it if the overall result has too much black or too much white.
← fewer lines
more lines →
Move this up to make line detection more sensitive. A high value means many subtle lines in the image will be detected. If it's too high, you may see lots of messy dots and marks in the output image.
← thinner lines
thicker lines →
Use this slider to thicken the detected lines.
Contrast boost:
Higher values will increase the contrast of the image, which can help with thresholding. Only used in non-line-art mode. A value of 1 does nothing.
