Hidden word art

Hide a word in a painting. Up close it is just art; squint or step back and the word appears.

Can't see it? Step back from the screen, squint, or look at the small preview on your phone. Use / for two lines.

Questions

How does hidden word art work?

Your eyes see fine detail up close and broad light and dark shapes from far away. We keep the painting's fine detail and replace its broad shading with the shape of your word, so the word only appears when the detail blurs: squint, step back or make the picture small.

Is this like the hidden-image AI art going around?

It is the same effect, made without AI: the picture is built from your chosen painting and word in your browser, so it is instant and free.
