ASCII animations are lightweight and visually striking — perfect for social media.
ASCII animation is a form of digital art that uses text characters to create moving images. Each frame of a video is converted into a grid of ASCII characters where different characters represent different brightness levels, creating a retro, text-based visual effect.
We accept MP4 and MOV video files up to 10MB in size and 15 seconds in duration. For best results, use videos with high contrast and clear subjects.
Describe what you want to see and our AI creates an image, animates it into a looping video, then converts it to ASCII art. The entire process takes about 1-2 minutes.
Converting an uploaded video costs 1 credit. AI-generated animations cost 4 credits (1 for image, 2 for video, 1 for ASCII conversion). New users get free credits to try.
Yes! Download your ASCII animation as a standalone HTML file that plays in any browser with no internet connection required.
Videos with high contrast and clear subjects produce the best results. You can adjust width (columns), character set, threshold, gamma, and contrast to fine-tune the output.
