Launch Tool →What is ASCII?
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, although they support many additional characters.
How this Generator Works
This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. When you type text or upload an image, your data never leaves your device. We use the native browser encoding capabilities to transform characters into their decimal (0-127), binary (010101), or hexadecimal (0x) equivalents.
Why Use ASCII Art?
ASCII art is used wherever text can be printed more readily than graphics, or in some cases, where the transmission of pictures is not possible. This includes typewriters, teleprinters, non-graphic computer terminals, printer separators, in early computer networking (e.g., BBSes), email, and Usenet news. ASCII art is also used within the source code of computer programs for representation of company or product logos, and flow control or other diagrams.
Extended ASCII Codes
The standard ASCII table defines 128 characters (0 to 127). However, an 8-bit byte can store 256 different values (0 to 255). The "Extended ASCII" codes (128-255) rely on the specific encoding (Code Page) used by the operating system, often including accented characters, drawing symbols, and mathematical signs (like in Code Page 437/8086).
