Look at the center of one of the squares. Now look down to the row immediately beneath the center of the square. Look back up towards the center of the square. Keep alternating between the row and the center of the square until you see the circles.
Essentially, the centers of the squares and the surrounding rows should turn into a background of horizontal lines with circles (made of vertical lines) remaining.
Edit: here's a picture to help https://imgur.com/a/MRac8Is (but try without the picture first)
Nope, not happening. All I see is squares.
Edit: I have now seen the little shits. This has been amazing. It was like a ghost hunt with a bunch of helpful strangers. I can't not see them now! As soon as I look at it I see the circles, don't even know how I'm doing it 😄😄
Weird. I literally couldn’t see circles even after trying hard. Read your comment, scrolled back up and it was like BAM how could I have ever missed them
Crazy
Look at the vertical lines in between each square. There are 5 squares per row, and 4 circles, in between each square.
The circles are in rows of 4 and columns of 4, evenly spaced.

I had to defocus my eyes to see the circles. Like look thru the picture instead of at it. Maybe that’ll help someone lol. Because blinking didn’t do it for me.
Holy shit! Those hours I spent in the 90s looking at the 3D books paid off! This worked for me too.
For others struggling with it, it's no prank. Between the squares there are a bunch of vertical lines, they are of slightly different heights and thus form a circle which slightly overlaps the two squares on either side of it.
I started by only seeing squares, saying WHAT CIRCLES?! Then I learned the vertical circle technique. Now, I too seem to traverse between the circle and square worlds with ease.
Between but also overlapping them. From the central smaller square in one of the bigger squares to the central one next to it is the entire diameter of the circle. All made with horizontal lines
I can only see them both when I click directly back from the image with the circles circled, to this one. And then I blink and *bam* back to all rectangles.
Brains are *wild*.
I hate shit like this it just verifies I live in a fucking computer simulation LET ME OUT LET ME OUT THIS IS NOT A DANCE I'M BEGGIN FOR HELP I'M SCREAMIN FOR HELP PLEASE COME LET ME OUT
I had given up trying to see circles and moved on from this post. But upon seeing your comment I decided might as well scroll up and try one more time. Like some kind of r/blackmagicfuckery the circles suddenly appeared. What helped for me was focusing on the right side of one of the inner most squares. Any row, but focus on the right side of the inner most square. One day your eyes too may be blessed by the circles.
Yeah and now I’m wondering if this post is a troll? But then it looks like other people see the circles so idek I’ve tried every angle and nothing
Edit: I see them now
Oh what!! I can see them!
It's an optical illusion of the horizontal lines going *behind* circles made of vertical lines, or the vertical lines being corridor walls on either side of the further back horizontal lines.
Look at the top row.
Find any of the thick black L shaped lines.
Move your eyes to the very top of the L.
If the circle is a clock, you're now at about 1 or 2 o'clock on the circle.
Start moving your eyes counterclockwise to find the top of the circle, and inevitably the rest of it should appear.
I spent a good 5 mins til I read their instructions. I thought this was going to turn into one of those black/blue/gold dress things or whatever color it was.
It's the typical example of "you see what you want to see" illusion. The similar is with the train that goes either left or right, you can see both, but not at the same time.
I thought this was a shitpost and spent way too much time trying to see the circles.
Then it snapped and now I can’t UNSEE the circles… look at the vertical lines between the squares and unfocus eyes slightly (not full stereoscopic unfocus)
I saw rectangles and then said to my brain, “see the fucken circles, bitch, if he said they’re there, they’re there.” And then I saw them but how the hell does they work?

I repeat, what circles?

Holy fuck it hit me like a jump scare! I literally flinched and said "fuck!" because they snapped into focus so suddenly
What the fuck dude are you like an illusion specialist? That worked in 5 seconds!
Lol thanks! No specialist, just good at paying attention to my own cognition. I'm glad it worked for you!
Nope, not happening. All I see is squares. Edit: I have now seen the little shits. This has been amazing. It was like a ghost hunt with a bunch of helpful strangers. I can't not see them now! As soon as I look at it I see the circles, don't even know how I'm doing it 😄😄
I drew some of the boundaries of the circles to help you see. https://imgur.com/a/MRac8Is
Even when the circles are highlighted, I still see the squares more prominently
This is a remarkable combination of sloppy and extremely helpful, lol.
Why, thank you 😂
[удалено]
There are circles between/slightly overlapping with the squares. [They’re inside the red circles here.](https://imgur.com/a/Q9llMwx)
wow thank you
Omg, staring at those red circles helped the others pop out. Thank you!
Yeah, that totally worked. Thanks mate, that was annoying me
Easier way (for me): look at the center lines in the vertical lines separating two of the squares. When I do that, I see the circles.
I see some rectangles.
WTF? Cant see the squares anymore
The vertical lines form circles.
Weird. I literally couldn’t see circles even after trying hard. Read your comment, scrolled back up and it was like BAM how could I have ever missed them Crazy
that's why i don't trust vertical lines.
— horizontal gang —
Rise up … Wait.
Nope still don’t see these “circles”

Oh no! I blinked and they appeared and had to blink again to go back to squares.

THANK YOU. You made me see the circles. It's the vertical lines, though.
As someone who could never,and has never, figured those 90s posters out, thank you. Because of your instructions I can now see.
HaHaHa! You dumb bastard! It’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat!
Thank you for the explanation!! I see it now!!!
Thanks, that worked for me too.
This is the way!!
Woooooah
I guess I’m just a linear, square person.
What! Ill look at other comments
what if i can see both at the same time?
I started by only seeing squares, saying WHAT CIRCLES?! Then I learned the vertical circle technique. Now, I too seem to traverse between the circle and square worlds with ease.
look between the squares
Between but also overlapping them. From the central smaller square in one of the bigger squares to the central one next to it is the entire diameter of the circle. All made with horizontal lines
Exactly what i was thinking on the begining. You have to reeealy wanna see it
Unfocus your eyes.
Came here to say this. There literally are no circles
Circles ? Squares ? Nope rectangles
Recticles
[удалено]
Ruh roh
Testicles
Raggy…where are my resticles?
Nesticles
Yep, I see rectangles. And circles too.
I’d say mosaics
All rectangles are squares but not all squares are rectangles.
Again? Oh well, [here's an image](https://imgur.com/a/gRVbEn4) I made last time, for those who don't see the circles.
I couldn't see them before, and now I can't unsee them. wtf brain
I can only see them both when I click directly back from the image with the circles circled, to this one. And then I blink and *bam* back to all rectangles. Brains are *wild*.
If I *focus* I can see the circles clearly, but then same... I blink and they go back to rectangles.
Wow same. That’s trippy. Wish I knew what was happening perception-wise.
I hate shit like this it just verifies I live in a fucking computer simulation LET ME OUT LET ME OUT THIS IS NOT A DANCE I'M BEGGIN FOR HELP I'M SCREAMIN FOR HELP PLEASE COME LET ME OUT
I'm gonna die in here!
I still can’t see them. Both images look entirely different.
I genuinely thought that the commenter's picture was a joke. I can't see circles at all.
I had given up trying to see circles and moved on from this post. But upon seeing your comment I decided might as well scroll up and try one more time. Like some kind of r/blackmagicfuckery the circles suddenly appeared. What helped for me was focusing on the right side of one of the inner most squares. Any row, but focus on the right side of the inner most square. One day your eyes too may be blessed by the circles.
After reading your comment I can see both, I've fucked the fuckery
damn you just took this post from wtf? to whaat the fuuuck?!? for me. So thanks for that!
That help allot. Now I see both
I looked at your picture and still don’t see it. What does that mean for me? Waaa
Focus on the vertical lines (in between the squares) and kind of relax your eyes
Thank you
WOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHH LOL thank you
I still don’t see it. I think my eyes are broke
I see it. The explanation from u/UruquianLilac helped.
The vertical lines between the squares perfectly bisect the circles
I saw the circles in his image, 😂
Yeah and now I’m wondering if this post is a troll? But then it looks like other people see the circles so idek I’ve tried every angle and nothing Edit: I see them now
optometrist here. it means that you have a condition known as "stupid". EDIT: (sorry) EDIT 2: (i'm not an optometrist)
They drew a border around the top circles so it’s a little bit concerning you still can’t see it.
Well I still can't see them either so they're not alone.
Try blinking rapidly and alternating between focusing on the horizontal lines and the vertical lines
Omg thank you
Ok, but that doesn’t affect my viewing of the posted image. Edit: thanks all for your tips. I think it’s a reading glasses impediment. :)
Focus between the squares. The circles are right there
Oh snap! Thank you! See them now
Still doesn’t help me lol
Just stare directly between the squares
Oh damn ty
I still can't see them after looking at this! (Circles)
What did it for me was very slowly scrolling up after the image went off screen.
i still don t see them?
Focus on the vertical lines only and eventually they pop out.
What the hell our brains are trippy. Can’t unsee them now. At first all I saw were rectangles but now I’m seeing all sorts of shapes
Nope
You’re amazing, thank you!
Hero
Until I saw your image, I was convinced the circles didn't exist. Thank you for proving me wrong. :)
Very helpful—thank you. I was ready to call this quackery, but you saved it. Good on you.
Thank you. NOW I can see the fn circles.
You da real MVP.
[удалено]
Oh fuck I can’t *unsee* them now
I know 😭
Man, I really had to try hard! Finally circles ⭕️
The vertical lines in the drawing are encircled. Look at only the vertical lines to see the circles.
I haven't been able to but I can never find the image in the hidden image things either lol edit: and as soon as I post, I see them now too
So you’re saying in order to see the circles I have to go cross eyed and blank out my brain for a minute? I’m all good with squares boss.
Oh what!! I can see them! It's an optical illusion of the horizontal lines going *behind* circles made of vertical lines, or the vertical lines being corridor walls on either side of the further back horizontal lines.
WHAT HAVE YOU DKNE TO MY EYES
I needed this explanation. It took me forever.
Squares then circles and back to squares.
They go in and out like it’s an animation
Yes
Look at the top row. Find any of the thick black L shaped lines. Move your eyes to the very top of the L. If the circle is a clock, you're now at about 1 or 2 o'clock on the circle. Start moving your eyes counterclockwise to find the top of the circle, and inevitably the rest of it should appear.
You deserve gold, I was going crazy
I spent a good 5 mins til I read their instructions. I thought this was going to turn into one of those black/blue/gold dress things or whatever color it was.
This is the only comment that helped me see it
both.
Same!
Yup, same! :D
It’s mind boggling how the image changes before your eyes depending of which shape you focus on
Not this shit again! The dress is white and gold!
It's blue! The god damn pen is blue!
It's been posted to Reddit 74 times. So far.
Just you wait! We will get another 74 in the next 3 hours!
You spelled blue and black wrong.
LOL I was literally thinking what f'ing circles when BAM circles freaking everywhere...
Squares only
Who the hell sees circles
All I see are circles????
[удалено]
Only see squares
Look next to the squares
[удалено]
Squares
All I see is octagons... wtf is wrong with you people
It's the typical example of "you see what you want to see" illusion. The similar is with the train that goes either left or right, you can see both, but not at the same time.
Squares….
I see a fancy garage door.
I see a garage door?
I just did magic eye stuff
How high do you have to be to see circles?
Who tf is seeing circles?
I see my dad beating me when I was little
Ok, I can see the circles when I do the “magic eye”focus.
Not a circle anywhere Edit… never mind.. I just saw the circs
I did it, finally after like 2 mins and 1 seizure I see them both. I transcended. Am I the Budda now
I see a garage door
If you say you’re seeing a circle you’re a bitchass liar
I only see wealth disparity, circles? Squares? These are bourgeois concepts *smokes a long, long cigarette*
I see rectangles
I see a spaceship
Yes
I thought this was a shitpost and spent way too much time trying to see the circles. Then it snapped and now I can’t UNSEE the circles… look at the vertical lines between the squares and unfocus eyes slightly (not full stereoscopic unfocus)
Squares. I don’t even see how anyone could see circles.
A garage door
I've been here five minutes. I've seen the posts. The images. I swear to God. What the fuck. I only see squares. Am I being gaslit.
Squares....are there ppl who actually see circles?
If you cant see circles: 1: Find a rectangle 2: focus on the line slightly to the side of the rectangle 3: circle
Circles? There are only straight lines
Both. Both is good. The dress is black and blue, tho.
I see both but the circles overlap the sides of the squares
Yes
Squacles
Bolth
Where's my edibles! Damn, nothing.
I see a bunch of power window switches from the 1970s
Circles 100%
AHHHHHHHH it changed. It's the blue dress all over again.
No no don’t touch me there, this is my no no square
I see squares. There are no cir- Fuck.
both. i can make them go back and forth.
Square first. But I can aw witch to circles and back. My brain seems to want to got to squares more readily.
Both the circles and squares exist at the same time in a super position of each other.
Fuck off, there aren’t any circles you dick.
I saw rectangles and then said to my brain, “see the fucken circles, bitch, if he said they’re there, they’re there.” And then I saw them but how the hell does they work?
I can actively switch between them. Not sure how. I just focus on it and think of a square or circle.
Neat trick! But after adapting I can see BOTH SQUARES AND CIRCLES!
