Generates ASCII art text from user input using 18 built-in fonts (ANSI Shadow, Big, Block, Bubble, Digital, Doom, Isometric1, Larry 3D, Mini, Ogre, Puffy, Rectangles, Slavic, Small, Soft, Standard, Star Wars, and Twisted). Advanced features include color selection, letter spacing adjustment, horizontal/vertical flipping, reverse video mode, history tracking of recent generations, and the ability to copy output directly to clipboard.
ASCII art adds retro visual flair to terminal applications, source code headers, documentation, and README files. Developers need a quick way to generate consistent, font-rich ASCII art without installing separate command-line tools or visiting third-party websites.

Why does my art look misaligned?
ASCII art relies on fixed-width characters. Ensure your display uses a monospace font.
Is there a character limit?
No hard limit, but inputs over 50 characters produce very wide output.
Can I save my creations?
Use copy to save to clipboard. Last 50 generations are stored in history.
