FAQ
Does it support CJK characters?
ASCII art assembles glyphs from Latin letters and digits, so CJK usually will not render correctly — use letters, numbers, or symbols.
Why must it be shown in a monospace font?
The art relies on every character being equal width to form the shape; in proportional fonts it misaligns, so use a terminal or code block.
Can I switch fonts?
Yes. Several FIGlet-style fonts are built in, changing the stroke weight and height of the letters.
What about very long text?
Long text exceeds typical terminal width and wraps into a mess; keep it short — a few words works best.
Can the banner go straight into code?
Yes, drop it in a multi-line comment; just watch for characters like backslash that may need escaping in some languages.
Any browser compatibility requirements?
This tool works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). No plugins or extensions required.
Can I use it offline?
After initial load, most features work offline. The core logic runs entirely in your browser with no network dependency.
