Text Art - ASCII Art Copy and Paste
Text art, also known as ASCII art, is a creative form of visual expression that uses text characters to create pictures and designs. Our collection features over 30 ready-to-copy text art pieces organized into categories including animals, faces, symbols, objects, and decorative borders. Every piece copies to your clipboard with a single click.
History of ASCII Art
ASCII art dates back to the early days of computing in the 1960s and 1970s, when graphical displays were extremely limited. Early computer users and programmers discovered they could create visual representations using only the characters available on their keyboards. The art form flourished on bulletin board systems (BBS) in the 1980s, Usenet newsgroups in the 1990s, and continues to thrive today in online communities, especially on Discord, Reddit, and gaming platforms.
Types of Text Art
Line art uses basic characters like slashes, backslashes, pipes, and dashes to draw outlines and shapes. This is the most common style and works well at small sizes.
Block art uses dense characters like asterisks, pound signs, and at symbols to fill in shapes with solid blocks of text.
Decorative borders and dividers are single-line or multi-line patterns used to frame text, separate sections, or add visual flair to messages and posts.
Tips for Using Text Art
- Use monospace fonts - Text art is designed for fixed-width fonts. In Discord, wrap art in triple backticks (```) for proper display.
- Check the platform - Some platforms like Twitter use proportional fonts that may break alignment. Test before posting.
- Keep it small - Smaller art pieces work better across more platforms and screen sizes.
- Discord code blocks - Wrap text art in ``` for perfect monospace rendering in Discord.
- Reddit formatting - Indent each line with 4 spaces to create a code block on Reddit.
