Changelog

Updated . New features and fixes on asciify.art, newest first.

  1. Faster discovery for search engines and AI agents

    Shorter page titles without the duplicated brand suffix, real last-modified dates in the sitemap, /llms.txt, markdown versions of every tool page and this changelog.

  2. Fullscreen backgrounds and a background generator

    Every animated background now has its own fullscreen page with PNG and animated HTML downloads, plus a generator to tune color, speed and size and copy an embed snippet.

  3. Video, webcam and GIF to ASCII landing pages

    Dedicated pages explain how to convert MP4/MOV/WebM videos, a live webcam feed and animated GIFs to ASCII, with FAQs for each format.

  4. Video, webcam and animated GIF input

    The generator accepts videos, webcam streams and animated GIFs, all decoded in the browser. Also new: 14 animated ASCII backgrounds and a curated showcase.

  5. Two more arcade games

    A one-tap runner and a three-lane dodger join the ASCII arcade, and every game now shares the same menu screens.

  6. ASCII arcade launched

    Seven classic-style browser games rendered entirely in text characters, playable on desktop and touch screens.

  7. ASCII chart generator

    Paste CSV, TSV or JSON and get bar, line, scatter or sparkline charts for READMEs and terminals. Also added privacy, terms, cookie and DMCA pages and cookie consent.

  8. Gallery review queue

    Gallery submissions are reviewed in a dedicated moderation queue before they appear publicly.

  9. Mobile banner layout fix

    Text banners no longer clip behind overlays on small screens; database migrations now run automatically on deploy.

  10. Touch-first mobile redesign

    The generator was redesigned for screens under 880 px with large touch targets and a mobile-friendly command flow.

  11. Publish banners from AI agents

    New MCP tool generate_and_publish_banner lets agents render a banner server-side and publish it to the public gallery.

  12. Agent-ready asciify.art

    MCP server at /api/mcp, WebMCP tools in the browser, an OpenAPI spec, well-known discovery files and markdown responses for AI agents.

  13. Performance and SEO overhaul

    Removed layout shift, sped up server response and added structured data to the main pages.

  14. Server-rendered content and faster loads

    Key content is now rendered on the server, heavy modules load on demand, and the page no longer jumps when the terminal input gets focus.

  15. Gallery content moderation

    Gallery submissions are checked automatically before they are published.

  16. Rainbow and 3D shadow effects

    Two new rendering options for ASCII output: rainbow coloring and a 3D drop shadow.
