Pressure Method

Pen / Stylus Uses hardware pressure from Apple Pencil, S Pen, or any pressure-sensitive stylus. Best quality.

Touch Area Press harder with your finger to make a bigger contact area = darker strokes. Works on all touchscreens.

Speed Move slowly for darker strokes, fast for lighter. Works everywhere including mouse.

Combined Uses touch area + speed together. Best for phones without a stylus.

Overlap Each stroke pass adds one level of darkness. Draw over the same area multiple times to build up density. Perfect for iPhone and devices without pressure sensitivity.

📷 Send as Picture Exports your drawing as a PNG image — includes the background image, filters, and ASCII characters exactly as you see them.

📄 Send as TXT Exports the ASCII characters as plain text. Background image is not included — text only.

✨ Export as Parallax Generates a standalone HTML file with a P5.js animation. Characters react to mouse position — heavier chars move less, lighter chars move more, creating a ghosting depth effect. Includes your colors and background.
