ASCII Drawing Tool

Q: What is an ASCII drawing?

An ASCII drawing is a diagram made from plain-text characters. It can be pasted into source code, terminals, Markdown, issue trackers, and documentation without an image file.

Q: Can I draw boxes, arrows, and freehand characters?

Yes. Use the Box, Line, Arrow, Text, or Draw tools. Lines, boxes, and arrow shafts support single, double, and star styles, while Draw lets you choose any one-character brush.

Q: Where is my drawing saved?

The editor saves your current drawing in this browser. Copy and Download export plain text, while Share places the drawing in a link you can send to someone else.

Q: Does the ASCII drawing tool work without an account?

Yes. The editor works without signing in, and the drawing remains plain text that you can copy or download at any time.

Draw freehand characters, boxes, lines, arrows, and labels on a plain-text board. Your work stays in this browser unless you share it.

Drag to select; use arrow keys to move. Delete erases.
