How to generate ASCII art text

Turn short text into large figlet-style ASCII art in one of five bundled fonts, entirely in the browser.

  1. Open the ASCII Art Generator

    Visit makemytxt.com/ascii-art. The first render may take a moment while the figlet library downloads.

  2. Type your text

    Enter up to 20 characters. ASCII art gets wide fast, so shorter text usually looks best.

  3. Pick a font

    Choose from Standard, Big, Banner, Block, or Doom. Preview each to see which suits your banner.

  4. Copy the output

    Click the Copy button to paste the ASCII art into a README, terminal message, or comment block. The monospace output copies exactly as rendered.

Frequently asked questions

Why are only 5 fonts available?
figlet ships with hundreds of fonts, but bundling them all would bloat the page. We hand-picked five that cover common use cases — from thin Banner to chunky Block — and lazy-load them.
Will the art look right when I paste it?
Only in a monospace font. Paste into a code editor, terminal, or any context using a fixed-width font. Proportional fonts will make the art look distorted.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The figlet library runs locally in your browser. Your input is never transmitted.
Why is there a 20-character limit?
Most figlet fonts are 6-12 characters wide per letter, so 20 input characters can already render 200+ columns — the maximum that stays readable in most terminals and GitHub READMEs.
