Create ASCII Art from Photos and Video
Compare visual styles, then check the export tier.
The short answer
ASCII Lab may suit a mobile creator who wants to compare visual treatments on existing media and return to an edit later. Previewing a video is free, but exporting it requires Pro. Current description and older product images disagree on effect counts, so this guide uses the current written scope and labels the imagery as publisher examples.
Compare a treatment before committing
Import a photo or short video, preview a treatment and adjust its density or contrast. Text layers, local projects and manual backups support returning to an edit. The official gallery shows the effects catalogue, editor and project library; its sample artwork is not our output.
Check export access separately
Free access includes11 effects and unlimited PNG photo exports up to1080px. Video import, editing and preview are free. Pro adds25 effects, photo exports up to2400px and MP4 exports for clips up to30 seconds. Saving Pro effects and exporting video require Pro.
US Pro is listed at $4.99 weekly, $29.99 yearly or $49.99 lifetime. Weekly/yearly plans describe a three-day trial where eligible. A private developer evaluation offer is separate from those public terms.
Limitations & considerations

- Official product website returned403; current facts come primarily from the US store.
- No rendering, subscription or installed-device test was performed. The private evaluation offer was not redeemed or published.
