Your ASCII art
How it works
-
Type your text
Use Ge'ez script directly, or switch on transliteration and type selam — it becomes ሰላም.
-
Shape the output
Pick a font, a character ramp, the width in characters and the contrast until the art looks right.
-
Copy or download
Copy the result to your clipboard or save it as a
.txtfile for terminals, code comments or READMEs.
Why use this generator
- Built for Ethiopic script. Rendering uses Noto Sans and Noto Serif Ethiopic, so fidel are drawn correctly instead of being approximated.
- Transliteration included. Type on a Latin keyboard and get proper Ge'ez forms — including the seventh order and labialized consonants.
- Private by design. Everything runs in a canvas in your browser. No account, no upload, no text stored on a server.
- Fine control. Character ramps, width, contrast and weight let you produce anything from clean poster lettering to dense ASCII shading.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Amharic ASCII art generator free?
Yes. The tool is free, needs no account or sign-up, and has no export limits.
Is my Amharic text uploaded to a server?
No. Transliteration and rendering happen inside your browser using JavaScript and a canvas element. Your text never leaves your device.
What does Latin transliteration mean?
You can type Amharic words with Latin letters and the tool converts them to Ge'ez script before rendering. For example, selam becomes ሰላም and ityoPya becomes ኢትዮጵያ.
Can I use the generated ASCII art commercially?
Yes. The ASCII art you generate from your own text is yours to use, including in commercial projects.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes. The layout adapts to small screens and the output area scrolls horizontally when the art is wider than the screen.
