The tool ships with eight built-in style presets that cover a wide range of aesthetics — from clean monochrome terminal output to glowing neon, vintage Game Boy palettes, and high-contrast blueprint hatching. Each preset is a complete configuration snapshot that sets the character set, cell size, color mode, contrast, and any post-processing effects all at once.

​
Applying a preset

1

Open the Preset dropdown

At the top of the sidebar, find the Preset dropdown (labelled with the placeholder text “choose…”) and click it to expand the list of built-in options.
2

Select a preset name

Choose one of the eight preset names: Classic, Matrix, Newspaper, CRT Terminal, Neon, Game Boy, Blueprint, or Xerox.
3

Click Apply

Click the Apply button next to the dropdown. All controls in the sidebar update immediately and the canvas re-renders with the new settings.
Presets are a starting point. After clicking Apply you can adjust any individual control — cell size, contrast, bloom amount, and so on — without saving over the built-in preset.

Preset reference

Clean white-on-black monochrome output using the traditional ASCII brightness ramp. No post-processing effects — this is the baseline reference style.
Green Japanese katakana characters and binary digits on a near-black green background, with bloom, scanlines, and vignette to sell the CRT illusion.
High-contrast black-on-cream print rendering with the dense character ramp, Atkinson dithering, and edge-aware characters to sharpen contours.
Warm amber phosphor glow on a very dark brown background, with heavy bloom, prominent scanlines, strong vignette, and chromatic aberration for a convincing vintage monitor look.
Saturated source-color output rendered with block characters on a deep purple background. Aggressive saturation boost (2.5×), high contrast, and strong bloom create vivid neon sign-style results on colourful source images.
Four-colour Game Boy palette dithered with a 4×4 ordered (Bayer) matrix. The dense character set at small cell size gives fine dot-matrix detail.
Technical line-drawing aesthetic using the hatching character set (/\|-_=#) in cyber blue on a dark navy background. Edge-aware character selection traces contours in the source image.
Hard-clipped binary output (spaces and 01 only) with Floyd-Steinberg dithering and maximum contrast, replicating the look of a heavily over-exposed photocopy or fax print.
