ASCII art uses text characters of varying density (e.g. '@', '#', '.', ' ') to approximate the brightness of each image region, producing a text-based picture.
Monochrome uses only characters; ANSI 16-color adds foreground colors; full color uses HTML span tags with hex colors for pixel-accurate output.
Yes. Use the monochrome text output, wrap it in a code block, and paste directly.
80-120 chars works well for social media and messaging. 200+ chars for high-detail desktop display. Monospace font required.
