# Image replacement

Swap text for background images with the image replacement class.

##### Warning

The `text-hide()` class and mixin has been deprecated as of v4.1. It will be removed entirely in v5.

Utilize the `.text-hide` class or mixin to help replace an element’s text content with a background image.

    <h1 class="text-hide">Custom heading</h1>

    // Usage as a mixin
    .heading {
      @include text-hide;
    }

Use the `.text-hide` class to maintain the accessibility and SEO benefits of heading tags, but want to utilize a `background-image` instead of text.

# Bootstrap

    <h1 class="text-hide" style="background-image: url('/assets/brand/bootstrap-solid.svg'); width: 50px; height: 50px;">Bootstrap</h1>
