What Is ASCII Art?
ASCII art uses printable characters from the ASCII character set to create pictures, patterns, or large-format text. The text-to-ASCII-art technique specifically turns letters into large stylised versions made from smaller characters — this style is also called FIGlet art, named after the FIGlet program from 1991.
Where ASCII Art Is Used
Terminal Applications
Startup banners for CLI tools, server welcome messages, and terminal-based applications commonly use ASCII art for branding and visual hierarchy.
README Files
Open-source projects use ASCII art headers in GitHub README files to make project names visually distinctive in plain-text environments.
Code Comments
Section dividers and file headers in source code often use ASCII art to make major sections immediately identifiable when scrolling through a file.
Social Media and Messaging
ASCII art text can be pasted into platforms that strip formatting but accept plain text — Discord, Reddit, email plain text, and SMS.
