Characters, images & motion
ASCII Studio
Spin a donut or turn your images and videos into ASCII art. Pick a mood, play with the characters, and save your creation.

From pixels and geometry to characters
The donut uses a rotating 3D torus, lighting, and a depth buffer. Images and videos are sampled into a character grid; brightness chooses each glyph. All three share the same alphabet, color treatments, and export engine.
Export notes
Save a PNG or plain text, or export a silent video. Video export records in real time; keep the tab visible. The donut records a six-second spin. Media exports start at the playhead, with optional clip lengths. Your files and settings stay available when switching modes in this workspace.
