'''Image pasters''' are automated tools that convert images into text so that they can be pasted onto the canvas. A variety of characters and methods can be used for this purpose, and scripters are continuously looking for ways to render images in higher resolutions.  
'''Image pasters''' are automated tools that convert images into text so that they can be pasted onto the canvas. A variety of characters and methods can be used for this purpose, and scripters are continuously looking for ways to render images in higher resolutions. Image pasters can also have other features, such as:


As image pasters are often used for spam, the sharing of such scripts is strongly discouraged.
* Pasting images without backgrounds
* Adjusting the size and aspect ratio of images
* Rotating images
* Specialized UI(''Ex. allowing users to drag image files onto the canvas'')


== Community Reception ==
As image pasters are often used for [[spam]], the sharing of such scripts is strongly discouraged.

== Community reception ==
[[File:1052 art.png|thumb|165x165px|By [[Guest-1052]]]]Image paste abuse is one of the most obtrusive forms of spam on OWOT and also one of the most common. By late 2024/early 2025, images have begun to regularly outnumber other forms of text at [[Spawn]], prompting several users to jokingly call the site "Our World of Image Pastes."


== Types of Image Pasters ==
Furthermore, image pasters are frequently used to display offensive and/or graphic content. Pornographic spam has always been a recurring problem on OWOT and the lack of measures against it have led to fierce criticism against the site's [[moderation]]. This issue was only made worse in November 2024, when image pastes achieved significantly higher resolutions with the addition of customizable cell colors to the front page. A breaking point was reached in December 2025, when [[FP]] made the decision to [[The Great Color Ban of 2025/2026|disable color]] on the front page in order to limit the clarity of NSFW image pastes. The color ban will stay in place until he is able to implement a feature that automatically hides images from the canvas.
 
Despite all these issues, image pasters are not outright despised by the community. Many scripters still enjoy finding new ways to render images on the canvas, and the creation of new image pasters is usually received positively so long as it doesn't result in more spam. Nevertheless, there is an informal ban on the distribution of such scripts which [[Lemuria]] refers to as the "OWOT Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Image Pasters."
 
At the same time, there are many users who tolerate image pasters even when they are used for spam, seeing it as an example of spammers exercising their freedom on the canvas.
 
== Types of image pasters ==


=== Braille ===
=== Braille ===
One of the oldest and most easily accessible forms of image pasters, since image to braille converters are common on the internet. Braille images are generally black and white, but can achieve relatively high levels of resolution using a small amount of characters.

=== Full Block(Black and White) ===
=== Full block ===
Represents contrasts in color using the full block characters "░ ▒ ▓ █." This method is more common on YWOT.
[[File:Smug jug.png|center|thumb|375x375px]]
 
=== Full Block(Color) ===
Using the full block "█," it is possible to render one color in each text cell. Two cells can also be combined to form a square pixel.

Full block pasters used to be the primary form of image pasters in OWOT, but have grown out of fashion ever since November 2024, when a variety of higher resolution methods were made possible by the introduction of [[Tile format#Color & Background color|customizable cell colors]] to the mainpage.

=== Half Block ===
 
=== Mixed full blocks ===
Represents contrasts in color using the additional full block characters "░ ▒ ▓." This method is more common on YWOT.
[[File:Smug jug.png|center|thumb|332x332px|Smug jug]]
=== Half block ===
By using the half block symbols "▀" and "▄," it is possible to divide each text cell into two pixels of different colors, with one color being the half block itself and the other being the cell background color. <gallery mode="packed" heights="300">

=== Octant ===
=== Octant ===
Using [[Octant|octant characters]], it is possible to divide each text cell into eight pixels, though only two colors can be present in any given cell. Octants allow for higher resolution images than half blocks, though the two color limitation means that some amount of distortion will be visible at smaller scales.<gallery mode="packed" heights="300">

An octant paster that pastes from bottom to top. The creator is a former anon named [[Banksy]], who also created a number of [[Animated scripts|animations]] at Spawn around that time.
The script was first seen on December 19th, 2025, where it was used to paste [https://umamusume.fandom.com/wiki/Gold_Ship Gold Ship] art and Bansky murals.

=== [[JustAnOWOTUser|JustAnOWOTUser's]] 1SPaster ===
An image paster made by JustAnOWOTUser in 2023. Originally, it only supported full-block pastes, although half-block and link pasting were added to it in 2025.
The main feature that makes it stand out from other pasters is its ease of use and simplicity, as its controlled by only one button and invisibly guides you through the pasting process in stages.

=== Link paster from December 2025/January 2026 ===
The most high quality link paster to have appeared as of early 2026. While the images it generates are hard to make out from up close, they can be startling lifelike when looked at from afar (i.e. at a lower zoom).
The creator of this script is likely also responsible for the next image paster.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

=== Emoji paster from January 1st, 2026 ===
Created during the color ban, which was intended to end on New Year but was extended into 2026.
The script overlays a sparse grid of colored emojis on top of a black and white octant paste, so as to give off the impression that it is fully colored. The quality of this illusion improves the farther you are zoomed out.
The user behind this image paster also made the green koopa shell from the link pasters section, though both that script and this one were initially misattributed to Banksy.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

=== Adding manual touches to image pastes ===
The following images were created by [[Banksy]] during the [[2025 color ban]], when (''excluding emojis'') only coordinate and URL links could be used for color. With this limited palette in mind, Banksy made purposeful decisions to highlight important parts of these monochrome image pastes, giving them an artistic quality in the process. The relative rarity of color would have also made these additions all the more eye-catching for users active during the color ban.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="">
