Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is DOT ART?
DOT ART is a form of text art that uses Braille characters (⠀⠁⠂⠃⠄⠅⠆⠇⠈⠉⠊⠋⠌⠍⠎⠏) to create dot matrix patterns from images. Each Braille character contains up to 8 dots, allowing for 256 combinations to represent various shades and textures, resulting in a unique visual style.
2. Is this DOT ART generator free to use?
Yes, absolutely! The generator is completely free. However, to ensure fair usage for everyone, there are different daily generation limits for guest users and logged-in users.
3. Are there any usage limits?
Yes. Guest users (not logged in) can generate up to 10 artworks per day. By creating a free account and logging in, you can increase your limit to 60 artworks per day. The maximum image upload size is 5MB.
4. What types of images work best?
For optimal results, we recommend using images with high contrast and clear subjects. Portraits, logos, and simple compositions work particularly well. Avoid very dark or overly detailed images, as important features might be lost in the conversion.
5. What do the different 'Style' options mean?
Each style offers a unique conversion algorithm:• Standard: Uses adaptive thresholding for a balanced and clear representation, suitable for most images.• Fine: Employs a dithering algorithm to create richer gradients and textures, ideal for detailed images.• Inverted Versions: Both Standard and Fine styles have an 'Inverted' option, which reverses the light and dark areas for a creative, negative-like effect.
6. How can I use the generated DOT ART?
The generated art is plain text, so you can use it anywhere! Simply copy and paste it into social media posts, messages, code comments, or any text-based project. You can also download it as a .txt file for your records.
7. What happens to the images I upload?
We respect your privacy. Your uploaded images are used on our servers solely for the purpose of generating dot art. After generation, they are deleted within a very short period (typically a few minutes) and are not permanently stored or shared with any third party.
8. Can I use this generator on my phone?
Yes! Our website is fully responsive and designed to work seamlessly on any modern device, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones. You can create DOT ART wherever you are.
