How does live SVG rendering work?

Instead of uploading static images to GitHub, you embed a URL that points to our servers. We generate your SVG on-the-fly with your latest GitHub data, so your profile is always up to date.

What is ASCII Art conversion?

Our ASCII Art Engine converts any image (like your GitHub avatar) into stunning character-based art using configurable character sets, density, and color options.
