Edit ASCII art with live preview, monospace stats, copy and download.

About ASCII Art Editor

ASCII art depends on character positions, so proportional fonts and automatic wrapping can destroy its geometry. This editor keeps the artwork as editable text and mirrors it in a monospace preview so spaces, punctuation, and line breaks remain visible.

The editor reports line count, character count, and longest-line width. These measurements help when artwork must fit in a terminal, README, code comment, or fixed-width message.

Copy preserves the exact spaces and line breaks, while Download saves the source as a text file. This keeps the artwork easy to version and revise.

Load Sample is useful when checking deployment; Clear resets the current drawing. Test important artwork in its final destination because fonts and wrapping vary.

When a raster image is needed later, use the ASCII-to-JPG or ASCII-to-PNG tools so the text source remains available for future edits.
