Generate ASCII art banners for README files, terminal welcome messages, CI build output, or just for fun. Type your text, pick a font (Standard, Big, Block, Slant, Bubble), copy the output. Browser-only, no upload, no API.
How to use the ASCII Art Text Generator (Figlet Fonts)
Type your text, pick a font. Output is monospaced — paste into README, terminal, or a code block.
Turning text into ASCII (and Unicode) letter art
Big letter art made of characters is a README staple — a project name across the top, a terminal welcome banner, a flourish in CI output. Typing it by hand is impractical; a generator maps each letter to a multi-line glyph in a chosen font.
This converts your text into five styles — Standard, Big, Block, Slant, and a Unicode Bubble font for round bubbled letters that go beyond plain ASCII. The output is monospaced, ready to paste into a README or code block. For a figlet-oriented set that adds Banner and Mini fonts, see the sibling ASCII art (figlet) tool.
Common use cases
README headers — stamp a project name at the top of a readme.
Terminal banners — print a welcome message or MOTD.
CI output — mark build stages with a visible banner.
Bubble text — use the Unicode bubble font for a playful header.
Code-block flair — add a header inside a fenced block.
Frequently asked questions
Which fonts are available?
Standard, Big, Block, Slant, and a Unicode Bubble style.
Is the Bubble font plain ASCII?
No, it uses Unicode bubble characters, so it needs a context that renders them. The other four styles are plain ASCII.
Where should I paste the output?
Anywhere monospaced — a README code block, a terminal, a commit message, or a comment banner.
Is there a figlet-style version?
Yes — the ASCII art tool offers figlet fonts including Banner and Mini.
