Cakes, banners, balloons and one-line wishes drawn in plain text. Click Copy on any card to take it with its line breaks.
Happy birthday ASCII art is a birthday message drawn with keyboard characters instead of pictures: a cake made of pipes and tildes, a banner boxed in plus signs, a bunch of balloons on slash strings. The one-line wishes paste anywhere. The multi-line pieces hold their shape only where every character is the same width, which is true in a Discord code block, a terminal or a plain-text editor such as Notepad, and not true in an Instagram caption or a phone's message app, where the columns drift apart. Every piece below is an original drawing, and the Copy button takes the spaces and line breaks with it.
Single lines that keep their look in any font, so they work in a comment, a caption or a group chat.
\(^o^)/ Happy Birthday!

Cakes with candles, a two-tier cake and a cupcake. The i at the top of each candle is the flame.

Boxed messages to open or close a birthday post. To put a name in the box, add or remove spaces on that line so the right edge stays straight.

The app is showing it in a proportional font, where an i is narrower than a W, so the columns slide out of line. In Discord, wrap the art in three backticks on the line above and the line below to turn it into a code block, which uses a fixed-width font.
Yes. Replace the words inside the box and keep the line the same length by adding or removing spaces, so the right-hand edge stays lined up. For a name in big letters, the ASCII art generator linked below turns any word into block letters.
The one-line wishes. Instagram captions and most phone message apps use proportional fonts, so multi-line pieces lose their shape there.
