textless

Lacking printed words

Textless describes something that lacks text or written words, typically applied to visual media.

A textless version of a movie poster, video game cover, or anime ending removes titles, credits, and other typography to reveal the underlying artwork.

Fans seek out textless images for wallpapers or art appreciation, while creators may release them as bonus content.

I found a textless version of that album cover for my phone background.
