Ah, it’s Tuesday and that means it is typography time! This I’d like to share five awesome web based ASCII art generators. ASCII Art is one of the finest of the geek arts, plus it’s a fun little trick to add to your HTML code, a sort of Easter Egg like on a DVD. I have found a lot of software you can download to create ASCII art, but maybe I’m just paranoid about downloading unknown software to my system. With that disclosure, I prefer these web based generators. Some do text, some do images and some do both.
A major tip for generating images make sure that your images have lots of contrast, that will aid these tools quite a bit.

My personal favorite for text, an online web application that allows you to type in large ASCII Art text in real time. - degraeve.com/img2txt.php
My favorite for converts images to ASCII. - glassgiant.com/ascii/
This one converts pictures to ASCII text art - network-science.de/ascii/
Generate a ASCII graphic from a word or text. - ascii-art-generator.org/
This one is very good at creating images, though they are rather large. I created the self portrait below with this tool.
