How to use Create Art from UTF8
- 1. Paste the text or word to render. Type in a short word or phrase, such as HI, that you want turned into large block-letter art built out of repeated characters.
- 2. Set the Fill character. Choose which character fills in each letter's shape, such as a hash symbol for a bold look or a period for a lighter, sparser banner style.
- 3. Copy the finished banner. The output pane shows your word rendered as large block letters made of the fill character. Copy it into a terminal welcome message, a README or a chat announcement.
When to use Create Art from UTF8
Create Art from UTF8 turns a short word into oversized block-letter banner art built from a repeated fill character, in the style of classic figlet output. It is a quick way to make plain text stand out anywhere only monospaced characters can be displayed.
- Adding a startup banner to a CLI tool. You are building a command-line tool and want its name to print as large block letters when it starts up, similar to how many popular CLIs greet users.
- Making a README header stand out on GitHub. A project's README needs a distinctive title section, and rendering the project name as block-letter ASCII art inside a code fence gives it visual weight without images.
- Announcing a milestone in a team chat. You want a short congratulatory message like DONE or SHIP IT to stand out in a Slack or Discord channel using nothing but plain text characters.

Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?

How much text can I process at once?
