TAAG
TAAG (stands for Text to ASCII Art Generator) website is simple but it comes with a very interesting feature. It lets you generate ASCII art from custom text with different fonts. The best part is you can preview the output ASCII art with all the available fonts with only a single tap. Once the text is converted to ASCII art, you can copy any output in one click and then paste in Notepad for later use.
If you are not interested to convert text to ASCII art with all fonts, then you can also select a particular font from the drop-down list. It also lets you set character width and height with predefined options for ASCII art. I find this website quite helpful and therefore it deserves its place in this online text to ASCII art converters.

ASCII Generator (Homepage) is another simple website where you can generate some cool ASCII art with the custom text. This website uses FIGlet fonts to provide the output. All you have to do is enter the text of your choice, select a font, and press “do it!” button to see the output.
The output is visible on the bottom part of its interface and it is generated with default settings. Although the output comes quite good with default settings, you can customize the options. It lets you show/hide reflection, add adjustment (center, right, or left), set width, and enable/disable stretch for ASCII art. Try the options and see how the output is visible. When you are satisfied with the output, you can copy ASCII art and paste it anywhere you want.

An Old Layout option is also available but I have no idea what this option does. So, you may try this feature to figure out its use. Everything is pretty easy on this website. Just enter text, select a font, options (if needed) and press Create Ascii Art button. When the output is visible, you can select and copy it.
The Conclusion:
All these websites are pretty awesome for text to ASCII art conversion. Still, the one that I find better than others is “TAAG”. I like its features to convert text to ASCII art for all the available fonts together, set width and height for output characters.
