Text as ASCII art
Type a word, pick a font and you get big letters drawn out of ordinary characters. It is the classic way to put a banner at the top of a README, into a terminal welcome message or into a chat where images are not welcome.
Getting the result right
Letter spacing decides how tightly the letters sit: the tight layout squeezes them into each other, the wide one keeps them apart. Turn on wrapping when the text is longer than the target console, and set the width in characters to match it.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the art fall apart in some places?
Most likely you are displaying it in a font whose characters are not all the same width. ASCII art assumes a fixed-width font. Put it in a code block or anywhere with a monospace font.
Does it handle accented characters?
Only partly. The figlet fonts were built for the English alphabet, so accented letters often come out without their accents or not at all. For a heading with accents, strip them first with the remove accents tool.
Is the text sent to a server?
No. The fonts are downloaded once and the rendering happens in your browser, so nothing you type leaves your computer.
