Common issues
Tiny details may disappear
ASCII output works best with clear contrast and recognizable shapes. Increase detail for small subjects.
Small icons need simple shapes
Favicon sizes are tiny, so logos with strong silhouettes and enough padding remain clearer.
Plain text depends on monospace display
Copy output into a monospace block when the destination supports it, or use PNG export.
Very wide output can be hard to share
Use a lower detail setting when the target platform wraps long lines aggressively.
