FAQ
What is ASCII art?
ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses printable ASCII characters to create images or text decorations. In this context, figlet fonts render large stylised text out of regular characters.
Which fonts are available?
The tool includes 12 popular figlet fonts: Standard, Banner, Big, Block, Doom, Lean, Mini, Script, Shadow, Slant, Small, and 3D-ASCII. Each produces a distinct visual style.
Why does the first render take a moment?
Figlet font files are loaded from a CDN on first use. After the initial load the font is cached in memory for instant re-renders within the same session.
Is there a character limit?
The input is capped at 80 characters. Longer text produces very wide output that is hard to share or use in terminals and READMEs.
Is any data sent to a server?
No. All rendering happens in your browser using the figlet.js library. Nothing is uploaded or transmitted.
