## What is ASCII Lab?

Turn photos and videos into bold ASCII art, CRT textures, pixel graphics and animated glitch visuals—all on your iPhone or iPad. ASCII Lab is a focused creative studio for text-based artwork that still feels unmistakably yours.

MAKE SOMETHING IN SECONDS
Import a photo or video, preview each look instantly, crop for your destination and shape the result with precise controls.

79 DISTINCT EFFECTS
Explore 79 curated styles across ASCII, CRT, glitch, poster, glyph, terminal and retro-motion collections. The catalog includes five source-preserving overlays, seven subject-aware treatments and 40 Cell Styles built with vector glyphs, Braille, poster palettes and terminal typography.

FINE-TUNE THE SIGNAL
Adjust density, brightness, contrast, invert and crop. Pro adds glow, scanlines, 15/24/30 FPS controls and audio preservation for video.

READY TO SHARE
Create square, portrait, story and landscape compositions. Export photos up to 1080 px for free or up to 2400 px with Pro. Pro also unlocks MP4 video export for clips up to 30 seconds.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Photo and video rendering happens on your device. Your media is never uploaded for processing. Keep finished pieces in your local library, share them, save them to Photos or display a favorite in the Home Screen widget.

START FREE
Use 27 effects and export unlimited photos up to 1080 px. Pro unlocks the other 52 effects, higher-resolution photo export, video export and advanced controls.

ASCII LAB PRO
Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or make a one-time lifetime purchase. Weekly and yearly subscriptions include a 3-day free trial where available. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
