▼ About this tool
Record live ASCII art and export it as a video. Point your webcam at yourself or your surroundings, and the tool converts every frame of the feed into text characters, then captures that animation as a downloadable video clip. The result is smooth, moving ASCII — perfect for intros, stream stingers, retro edits or a striking social post.
Set the mood before you hit record. Adjust the resolution for fine detail or a bold, blocky grid, choose your character ramp, and switch between full color sampled from the camera or a classic monochrome terminal look. A live preview shows the ASCII rendering in real time, so you can compose the shot, check the lighting and get the character density right before committing. Then record for as long as you need and stop when you are done.
This tool is built around capturing a live feed rather than importing existing video files — you record straight from the camera into ASCII. Everything runs locally in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and the export is free with no watermark.
Start your webcam, set the character set and colors, then press record. The tool renders your live feed as ASCII and captures the animation, which you export as a downloadable video file.
The tool is built around recording a live webcam feed as ASCII rather than importing existing video files. You capture the animated ASCII directly from the camera and export it as a video.
The ASCII animation is recorded and saved as a standard web video file that plays in browsers and most players, ready to share or drop into an edit.
Yes. Recording and exporting is free with no watermark, and the whole process runs locally in your browser, so your camera feed is never uploaded to a server.
