Tips
-Simple, high contrast images work best
-Crop tightly
-Resize your image if it's too big
-Try to max out the 5000 character limit
-Delete unnecessary lines
-Scroll the preview to zoom out
-Some images might need you to bump the contrast
-Changing the background sometimes improves it
-Some ASCIIs look better in white on black, change it in "result type"
-You can spoiler white on black ASCIIs to make it look as intended on Yotsuba B
-Preview your post by expanding the reply box
-You can search for ASCIIs in the archive using "___*" and copy them directly
Have fun
