Turn short text into ASCII banners. Compare three styles, adjust the width, and copy your favourite for Discord messages, README files, or terminal displays.

Maximum width
Width is measured in text columns, not pixels. Longer text may wrap into multiple banner rows.
Classic
Traditional banner lettering.

Output contains ```, so Discord code fences may conflict. Use Copy text instead.
Compact
A smaller design for tighter spaces.

Keep your banner in a monospaced font or code block to preserve its shape. Wide banners may need horizontal scrolling on mobile.
Rendering powered by figlet.js (MIT). Fonts: Standard, Small, Slant.
How to make an ASCII text banner
Type a short phrase in the box above (letters, numbers, spaces, and standard punctuation).
Compare Classic, Compact, and Slanted previews side by side as you type.
Set a maximum width if you need the banner to fit a narrow chat column or README layout.
Copy plain text for terminals, or use Copy for Discord to wrap the banner in a code block.
These banners are multiline text art meant for messages, README files, and other preformatted areas — not for Discord usernames or channel names.
Classic, Compact, and Slanted
Classic uses the Standard FIGlet font — the familiar blocky banner look. Compact uses the Small font when vertical space is tight. Slanted uses the Slant font for a forward-leaning, bold headline feel. All three render in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
Paste into Discord
Click Copy for Discord on the style you want. Paste into the message box and send. Discord shows the banner in a monospaced code block so spacing stays aligned. For plain chat without a fence, use Copy text instead — you may need to wrap it yourself in triple backticks if alignment slips.
ASCII banners rely on fixed-width characters and intentional spaces. Proportional fonts stretch or squeeze letters and break the drawing. Always view and paste banners in a monospace context — terminal, code block, or <pre> area — and avoid trimming leading spaces on each line.
Frequently asked questions
ASCII text art builds pictures or large letters from ordinary keyboard characters arranged across multiple lines. FIGlet fonts define how each letter is drawn so you get consistent banners from plain text.
The destination app may use a proportional font, strip trailing spaces, or reflow lines. Paste into a monospaced code block and avoid editing spaces at the start of each line.
Yes, in messages and posts. Use Copy for Discord for a ready-made code block. They are not suitable as unique usernames or channel names, which have separate character rules.
Choose a smaller maximum width (40 or 80 columns), use shorter words, or pick the Compact style. The generator wraps at word boundaries when possible instead of clipping letters.
Not in this version. Only printable ASCII (English letters, digits, spaces, and common punctuation) is supported. Emoji and accented characters are flagged so you can adjust your phrase.
