Use of the service

Terms of Use

ASCII Video Converter is provided as an online tool and educational resource for browser-based ASCII rendering. By using the site, you agree to use it responsibly and in compliance with applicable law.

These terms are intended to explain acceptable use of the public site, the converter interface, and the related written content. They are not a long enterprise contract. They are a practical statement of responsibility for a lightweight web tool that may evolve over time.

Acceptable use

  • You may use the converter for personal, educational, creative, or evaluation purposes.
  • You must not use the site to process or distribute unlawful, abusive, or infringing material.
  • You must not attempt to interfere with the site, its infrastructure, or its availability.
  • You must not use automated traffic, scraping, or abusive patterns that degrade the experience for other visitors.

Your content

You are responsible for the media you choose to process through the converter. You must have the rights or permissions needed for the source material you use.

The site is designed around local browser processing, but that design does not shift legal responsibility away from the user. If you choose to process copyrighted, private, or sensitive material, you remain responsible for making sure you are allowed to use it.

Intellectual property

The site design, written content, and original code surrounding the product are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Third-party open source references remain subject to their own licenses.

References to ANSI rendering, libcaca, or related software are included for technical context and attribution. Their respective licenses and ownership terms remain separate from the proprietary or original material published directly as part of this site.

Availability and warranties

The service is offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every browser or device, or suitability for a specific commercial workflow.

Export performance, live preview smoothness, and conversion quality depend on browser capabilities, device performance, and source media. The site does not guarantee that every file, every camera device, or every high-resolution workflow will behave identically across environments.

Changes and termination

Features, routes, documentation, and supported workflows may change over time. The project may limit or suspend access to protect site stability, address abuse, or retire functionality that is no longer practical to maintain. Continued use of the site after material updates means you accept the revised public terms.
