NASA imagery

Your Name in Landsat

I liked NASA’s Your Name in Landsat and wanted to share it with my family, so I made a version that spells any name in satellite photos and saves it as one picture.

Type a name and you get every combination of photographs that spells it. Star the ones you like and save each one as a full-size picture.

Spell a name

How it's built

The letter photos come straight from NASA's public Your Name in Landsat image set and load from NASA's own servers. There's no backend: every letter combination is generated in the browser, then scored for how varied the photos are, whether any repeat, and how well their colours sit together. Starred combinations are saved in this browser, and the export stitches the full-resolution originals onto one canvas as a single PNG.
