Which characters are supported?

The banner font supports A to Z, 0 to 9 and common punctuation such as period, comma, dash, slash and exclamation mark. Unsupported characters are skipped.

Can I change how the letters look?

Yes. Choose a fill character — hash, asterisk, at sign, dollar sign or a solid block — to change the texture of the banner.

No. The banner is generated entirely in your browser and nothing is sent or stored.

How tall are the letters?

Every glyph is five rows tall and five columns wide, so a banner is always five lines high regardless of how many letters you type.

Does it use a figlet font?

No external figlet font or library is used. The tool ships a compact, self-contained 5-row block font, so it works fully offline with no dependencies.

Are lowercase letters supported?

The font is uppercase only. Lowercase input is rendered with the uppercase glyphs, so abc and ABC look the same in the banner.

Where can I paste the result?

Anywhere monospaced — README files, code comments, terminal MOTDs, chat clients and plain-text email. A monospace context keeps the columns aligned.

Text to ASCII Art Banner

Text to ASCII art banner

This tool turns a short word or phrase into a big block-letter ASCII banner for READMEs, code comments, terminal greetings and chat. Pick the fill character to change the look. It is a lightweight, offline alternative to figlet with no dependencies.

How it works

Each supported character maps to a small 5-row by 5-column bitmap in a built-in font. The tool looks up every character in your text, lines up their bitmaps side by side, and renders the five rows so the letters appear as large glyphs. The filled cells are drawn with your chosen fill character (#, *, @, $ or a solid block) and blank cells are spaces. The font covers A–Z, 0–9 and common punctuation; unsupported characters are skipped. Because output relies on equal-width columns, paste it into a monospace context.

Example

The word HI with the # fill renders as:

#   # #####
#   #   #  
#####   #  
#   #   #  
#   # #####

Keep banners short for the best result. Everything is generated in your browser with nothing uploaded.
