  - `animal`: which animal, by its id: for example dog, bunny, bear, fox, owl, fish, turtle, frog, butterfly, dragon, unicorn (the page lists them all) (for example `fox`)
  - `pose`: one of the animal's poses (each animal has its own, for example sitting, face, small), or line for the one-line version (for example `face`)
  - `eyes`: round (default), big, happy, sleepy, closed, wink, grumpy, surprised, starry, dizzy, crying, sad, shiny, dots, squint, sparkle, money, worried, angry, love, smiling, fierce, droopy (for example `happy`)
  - `hat`: none (default), top, party, crown, bow, flower, santa, witch, halo, chef, cowboy, beanie, antlers, bunny, grad, wizard, sombrero, propeller, garland, viking (only on poses that can wear one) (for example `party`)
  - `item`: thing next to the animal: none (default), heart, plant, gift, balloon, cake, cup, book, pumpkin, tree, moon, rose, umbrella, snowman, butterfly, cactus (for example `balloon`)
  - `say`: speech bubble text (up to 40 characters) (for example `hello`)
  - `pair`: 1 adds a second one of the same animal, facing the first (for example `1`)
  - `flip`: 1 flips the picture left to right (for example `1`)

## How to use the ASCII animal generator

The **ASCII animal generator** draws an animal out of plain keyboard characters, such as slashes, brackets and an `o` for each eye, so you can copy it and paste it anywhere you can type. You build yours in four steps:

1. Pick an **animal**: 49 to choose from, in five groups (pets and farm, forest, safari and jungle, water, and birds, bugs and legends).
2. Pick a **pose**. Every animal has its own, such as sitting, a face and a small version, plus a one-line version (258 drawings in all).
3. Change the **eyes** (23 kinds, from happy to sleepy), add a **hat** (19 to choose from), something **next to the animal** (15 things, from a heart to a snowman), a second animal for a pair, and a **speech bubble**.
4. Tap **Copy** and paste it anywhere. **Random** rolls a new animal, and **Copy link** gives you a link that opens the same one.

The parts combine into more than 5 million different pictures, before you even type a speech bubble. Every animal is our own drawing, so they are free to use anywhere: chats, bios, code comments, README files, greeting cards. For cats there is a generator of its own, the [ASCII cat generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/ascii-cat-generator/).

## ASCII animals to copy and paste

Looking for a finished **ASCII animal**? Here is every animal of the generator in each of its poses. Copy one as it is, or rebuild it in the generator above and change the eyes, the hat and the rest. Jump to an animal:

## Text animals on one line

A **one-line text animal** fits where a picture with several lines cannot go: a username, a bio, a chat message, the subject of an email. Because it sits on a single line, it also keeps its shape in every font. Each animal of the generator has one. Choose *One line* as the pose to change its eyes.

## Dot-art animals that keep their shape

**Dot art** is drawn with braille characters instead of keyboard characters. Every braille character has the same width, so a dot-art animal stays in shape in chats, posts and bios, where ordinary ASCII art falls apart. These come from our [text art collection](https://linguaholic.com/tools/text-art/), which has each of them in three sizes.

## How to make text animals yourself

You can draw a **text animal** with nothing but the keyboard. The trick is to draw the one feature that makes the animal and keep everything else as plain as possible. A bear, step by step:

1. **The head.** Two brackets with space between them make a round face: `( )`. A slash and a backslash above them close the top.
2. **The eyes.** Two of the same character, with a gap: `o o`. Swap them for `^ ^` to make the animal happy, `- -` to make it sleepy, `* *` for excitement.
3. **The feature.** Round ears on top, `()` and `()`, say bear. Long upright ears would say bunny, pointed ones fox, a pair of tufts owl.
4. **The nose or mouth.** One small shape in the middle, under the eyes: `(_)` for a bear’s nose, `w` or `v` for most small animals.
5. **The body, if you want one.** Repeat the outline of the head a little wider, and end with the feet on one line.

Type it in a fixed-width font, so you see the same picture the reader will. Keep each line the same length where you can, and use characters that come in pairs (`( )`, `/ \`, `< >`), so the two halves of the animal match.

## Where text animals keep their shape

An animal with several lines needs every character to be the same width. That is true in code editors and code blocks, and not in most chats and posts, where an `i` is narrower than an `m`.

| Kind of animal | Where it keeps its shape | How to copy it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ASCII animal with several lines | Code blocks, code comments, README files, plain-text email, any fixed-width font | *Copy*, or *Copy for Discord*, which wraps it in a code block |
| The same animal, for chats | Chats and posts with ordinary fonts | *Copy for chats*, which redraws it in braille dots |
| One-line animal | Everywhere, including names and bios | Choose the *One line* pose, then *Copy* |
| Dot-art animal | Most chats, posts and bios | *Copy* on any dot-art card |
| Any animal as a picture | Everywhere an image can go | *Copy as image* or *Save as image* |

## Frequently asked questions

**How do I make an ASCII animal?**

Pick an animal and a pose in the generator, choose its eyes, add a hat, something next to it or a speech bubble if you like, then tap Copy. Random makes one for you.

**How do I copy and paste a text animal?**

Tap Copy, then paste the animal into your chat, post or document. In chat apps that support code blocks, wrap it in three backticks so the lines stay aligned; the Copy for Discord button does that for you.

**Why does my text animal look crooked after pasting?**

Animals with several lines only line up in a fixed-width font. Put the animal inside a code block, or use a one-line animal or a dot-art animal, which keep their shape in ordinary fonts.

**Which animals can I make?**

Dogs, bunnies, bears, foxes, owls, fish, turtles, frogs, butterflies, dragons, unicorns and many more, in five groups: pets and farm, forest, safari and jungle, water, and birds, bugs and legends. Every animal has several poses and a one-line version.

**Are there one-line text animals?**

Yes. Every animal has a one-line version you can paste into a name, a bio or a message. Choose One line as the pose, or copy one from the list of one-line animals on the page.

**How do I make text animals myself?**

Start with the outline of the head in brackets or slashes, add two eyes with a gap between them, then the feature that makes the animal: long ears for a bunny, a trunk for an elephant, a fin for a shark. Keep it to a few lines and check it in a fixed-width font. The page walks through an example.

**Can I use these animals for free?**

Yes. Every animal is our own design and free to use anywhere, including social media, code comments and README files. No sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your browser.

**What is the difference between ASCII art and dot art?**

ASCII art uses keyboard characters and needs a fixed-width font. Dot art uses braille characters, which are all the same width, so it keeps its shape in more apps.
