Text and image output
Does the text file preserve colors?
No. TXT and copied text contain characters only. Choose Source color to use image colors in the PNG output.
How are transparent areas handled?
Transparent pixels are composited over white before characters and PNG colors are calculated.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Image sampling and file generation run in your browser. The source image is not sent to our server.
