Dot Art Converter

Upload an image and turn it into text-character dot art. Your photo never leaves the browser.

Upload a photo and turn it into dot art drawn with characters — shaded blocks, hearts, or dots. Everything runs inside your browser; the image is never uploaded to a server.

Use the width slider to size the picture and the style buttons to change its texture. Posting on a dark background? Toggle Invert so the shape reads correctly.

Copy the result as plain text. It keeps its shape best in fixed-width places like Discord code blocks or a notes app.

FAQ

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No — conversion happens entirely in your browser using canvas. The photo never leaves your device.

The result looks squashed.

Paste it somewhere with a monospace font — a Discord code block or a plain-text editor keeps the proportions.

What images work best?

High-contrast images: logos, icons, and clear silhouettes convert the cleanest.

Can I make it bigger?

The width slider goes up to 56 characters. Very wide art may wrap in chat windows, so match it to where you'll paste.
