Spell your name with NASA satellite images
Every letter rendered with a real satellite image of natural features that look like the letter — rivers shaped like S, sand dunes that trace an A, river deltas in the form of W. Curated from NASA's ABCs from Space project.
Letters and spaces only. Accents are normalized (Á → A, Ñ → N).
Some characters were skipped — only A–Z are mapped to satellite images.

What is this?
This generator pairs each letter of your name with a real satellite image of a natural feature shaped like that letter. Every image comes from NASA's Your Name in Landsat interactive — a 2024 Earth Day project from the NASA / USGS Landsat team showing how the planet itself spells out our names. Each coastline is traced by water, every ridge carved by tectonics. Type your name; the planet draws it.
Imagery: NASA / USGS Landsat — Your Name in Landsat.
The full alphabet
A through Z, drawn by water and stone.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real satellite images?
Yes. Every image is a real Landsat satellite photograph of a place on Earth, jointly captured by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. The NASA Landsat team curated the alphabet for their Your Name in Landsat interactive in 2024 — the natural features just happen to look like letters.
Can I use the generated image commercially?
Yes. NASA / USGS Landsat imagery is U.S. public domain and generally free for any use, including commercial. We recommend keeping the credit line on any download you publish: "Imagery: NASA / USGS Landsat." The exact location of each image is shown in its popup if you want to attribute it more precisely.
How do I share my name?
Click Copy share link — your name is encoded in the URL, so anyone who opens it sees the same letters. On mobile, the Share button uses your phone's native sharing menu. You can also click Download as PNG to get a single image of your name to post.
Why don't accents and numbers work?
The original NASA alphabet only includes the 26 Latin letters A–Z, so accents are stripped down (Á → A, Ñ → N, Ç → C) and numbers/symbols are skipped. We may add digits in a future update if NASA's archive offers good 0–9 candidates.
How many variants are there per letter?
Between 1 and 5 per letter, depending on how many candidate features the NASA Landsat team picked for that shape — G has 1, A and I have 5, most letters have 2 or 3. Click Shuffle variants to reroll which ones appear in your name.
Who built this?
PK Systems built the tool; NASA Landsat and the U.S. Geological Survey did the actual hard work of imaging the planet. The 2024 NASA Your Name in Landsat Earth Day interactive is where every image in this gallery comes from.
