About Draw Box Around Text

The Draw Box Around Text tool is a creative online generator that transforms plain text into eye-catching ASCII art boxes with various border styles. ASCII art boxes use special characters to create decorative frames around your text, making it stand out in plain text environments like code comments, documentation, social media posts, README files, and text-based interfaces. This tool offers multiple border styles from classic single-line boxes to decorative patterns with stars and symbols.

This tool is perfect for programmers adding visual structure to code comments, technical writers creating engaging documentation headers, social media enthusiasts making posts stand out, content creators designing text-based graphics, developers beautifying README files and CLI outputs, and anyone who wants to add visual appeal to plain text. ASCII boxes work universally across all platforms, text editors, and systems because they use standard Unicode box-drawing characters.

Why Use ASCII Boxes? ASCII art boxes are platform-independent, work in any text editor or terminal, don't require images or special formatting, and maintain perfect alignment in monospace fonts. They're ideal for code documentation, command-line interfaces, configuration files, plain text emails, and anywhere you need visual emphasis without rich formatting. Plus, they add a professional, organized look to technical documentation.

Copy and Use

Click "Copy Box" to copy the ASCII art box to your clipboard. Paste it into your code comments, README files, documentation, social media posts, or any plain text environment. The formatting will be preserved in monospace fonts.

Pro Tips: For best results, view your ASCII boxes in monospace fonts like Courier, Consolas, or Monaco. Keep text concise for cleaner boxes - long lines create very wide boxes. Use double-line or heavy styles for important headers that need emphasis. Stars and decorative styles work great for celebratory messages or special announcements. In code comments, ASCII boxes help organize sections and make headers easily scannable.
