TYPORAIT
Words to Portrait
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your own text into ASCII art portraits. Your words reshape your photos.
Transform your photos into text art.
Capture a photo or load one from your library, type any message, and watch your photo reconstructed entirely from those characters.
Dark areas become large characters, light areas become small — revealing the image through typography alone.
● AI Subject Detection
Automatically detects people, dogs, cats, birds and more. Removes the background so only the subject is rendered. Falls back to full image when no subject is found.
● 6 Font Styles
Choose from Serif, Gothic, Didot, Round, Mono, and Futura.
● Real-time Adjustments
Fine-tune detail, contrast, size range, and invert with sliders while viewing the result.
● Message Overlay
Place your text message in any corner of the output image.
● High-res Download
Export at 2000×2000px PNG. Free to use for social media, prints, or anything you like.

v1.4 — Improved AI Segmentation
• Dual AI model system: dedicated models for people and animals deliver significantly better extraction results
• New EXTRACT panel: switch between PERSON, ANIMAL, and OFF modes on the result screen
• Fine-tune with THRESHOLD and EDGE sliders to get the perfect cutout
• Improved photo crop: pinch-to-zoom now follows your fingers accurately, and two-finger drag is supported
• Fixed an issue where crop preview sometimes didn't display
