About ASCII Tree Generator
An ASCII Tree Generator is an online folder tree directory generator tool that helps developers and technical writers to create a visual representation of an application's folder structure.
This tool can be used by developers to create folder directory structure of the project. Documentation or technical writers can use this tool to create the project layouts.
On the other hand, normal people can use this app as a mindmap tool to display the information in a simple and concise manner and declutter their mind.
ASCII Tree Example
Folder Structure:
root folder1 file1.txt file2.txt folder2 subfolder1 file3.txt

How to Use the ASCII Tree Generator?
1. Input
- Type your folder structure using '#' symbols to represent folder hierarchy
- Each level of subfolders should contain an additional '#' symbol
- For example:
Root #Folder 1 ##Subfolder 1 ###Subfolder 1.1 ##Subfolder 2 ###Subfolder 2.1 #Folder 2 ##Subfolder 1 ###Subfolder 1.1 ###Subfolder 1.2 #Public ##assets #README.md
Root ├── Folder 1 │ ├── Subfolder 1 │ │ └── Subfolder 1.1 │ ├── Subfolder 2 │ │ └── Subfolder 2.1 ├── Folder 2 │ ├── Subfolder 1 │ │ └── Subfolder 1.1 │ │ └── Subfolder 1.2 ├── Public │ └── assets └── README.md
2. ASCII Tree Generation
- As you type in the input box, the ASCII tree is generated automatically in the realtime. Therefore, you can make any changes and see the results in realtime. This feature will save a lot of your precious time.
- Once you have done generating the folder tree structure, then you can use the 'Copy' button to copy the tree structure to your clipboard.
- Use the 'Reset' button to clear the contents of the input field.
Note: The topmost line of text will automatically be treated as the root directory regardless of whether it contains '#' symbol or not. Please do not include '#' or any other symbols for the root directory. Use '#' symbol only for subdirectories.
