- [What is ASCII? Browser-Based ASCII Art Converter](https://rdsciv/docs/introduction.md): ASCII converts images, videos, and webcam feeds into ASCII art directly in your browser — no installation, no sign-up, and no files uploaded to a server.
- [Built-In Style Presets for ASCII Art](https://rdsciv/docs/presets/built-in.md): ASCII ships with eight style presets — Classic, Matrix, Newspaper, CRT Terminal, Neon, Game Boy, Blueprint, and Xerox — each a complete settings snapshot.

- [Sharing ASCII Settings via URL](https://rdsciv/docs/presets/sharing.md): Copy a shareable URL that encodes all your current ASCII settings in the link hash, so anyone who opens it gets the exact same configuration applied.
- [Get Started with ASCII Art Conversion](https://rdsciv/docs/quickstart.md): Learn how to load an image or video, customize your ASCII style with presets and controls, and export your artwork as PNG, SVG, or GIF in a few steps.
- [ASCII Art Converter FAQ and Troubleshooting](https://rdsciv/docs/reference/faq.md): Answers to common questions about loading files, browser support, GIF export errors, webcam permission issues, and tips for getting the best ASCII results.

- [Choosing a Character Set for Your ASCII Art](https://rdsciv/docs/using/character-sets.md): Select from six built-in character sets — or define your own — to control the visual texture and density of your ASCII output.
- [Color Modes: Palettes and Terminal Styles](https://rdsciv/docs/using/color-modes.md): ASCII offers nine color modes — including full source color, green and amber terminal palettes, retro chip palettes like CGA and Game Boy, and gradient ramps.

- [Post-Processing Effects: Bloom, Scanlines, and More](https://rdsciv/docs/using/post-effects.md): Apply bloom, scanlines, vignette, chromatic aberration, and film grain to your ASCII art. Post effects are baked into PNG and GIF exports but not SVG or text.
