What about Japanese characters or emoji?

figlet fonts only cover ASCII (and most of Latin-1). Non-Latin characters are usually substituted with whitespace or, in strict fonts, fail to render. Use this tool with English alphanumerics and ASCII punctuation.

Why is the input limited to 50 characters?

Each glyph takes 5–10 columns (up to ~30 columns in some 3D fonts). Above 50 input characters the single-line output exceeds several thousand columns and becomes impractical to display or copy.

Why is the first render slow?

figlet fonts are dynamically imported on first selection (a few KB to tens of KB each). After the first use the font is cached, so subsequent renders are instant.

Can I use more fonts?

The figlet package bundles 660+ fonts; we expose 16 that look good at small sizes. If you need others, run figlet locally or fetch additional `.flf` files directly.

Is my input uploaded?

No. Both the input string and the font data are processed entirely inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
