Live Camera to ASCII Art
Start your webcam and watch every frame turn into monospaced art instantly. Everything runs locally in your browser—perfect for live demos, playful streams, or quick visual experiments without installing anything.
Start the camera to generate ASCII in real time.
Tune the ASCII output
- Increase width for more detail; drop the frame rate if your CPU gets loud.
- Use the "Detailed" set for portraits and the "Blocky" set for bold, poster-style output.
- Your video never leaves the browser - frames are processed locally on the canvas.
How it works
- Grab frames from your webcam with getUserMedia and render them to an off-screen canvas.
- Sample brightness values and map them to a character ramp (blocky or detailed) for each pixel.
- Stream the output into a monospace preview at your chosen width and frame rate.
Privacy & compatibility
- Runs entirely in your browser; camera frames never leave your device.
- Start/stop the feed at any time and fine-tune width, frame rate, inversion, and character set.
- Works on modern browsers that support the MediaDevices API (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).
