This project is maintained from the main branch. Security fixes, when needed, are applied there first.
If you find a vulnerability, please open a private vulnerability report on GitHub or contact the maintainer directly. Avoid opening public issues for exploitable security problems until they have been reviewed.
ASCII Art Converter is a fully client-side app. It does not operate a backend server and does not receive user images, webcam frames, or AI provider API keys.
The optional AI analysis feature uses a bring-your-own-key model:
- API keys are stored in browser
localStorage. - Rendered ASCII canvas images are sent directly from the browser to the selected AI Provider.
- The project cannot revoke, inspect, or protect API keys beyond the browser storage model.
Do not commit API keys, .env files, provider credentials, or personal secrets to this repository.
