How to Edit a Photo

To edit a photo that's hosted on our servers, go to the img url with "/edit" afterwards. For example, if your image url is "https://glyphs.co/7f0b3894-ce88-4b21-ac1d-ccfd981d07ae.jpg", go to "https://glyphs.co/7f0b3894-ce88-4b21-ac1d-ccfd981d07ae.jpg/edit" to make changes to your unique photo URL.

When using Photos, you have a few options to customize your image.


On the left hand side of the screen, you can choose from a few preset filters: Sepia, Black and White, Blur and Vintage.

You can also adjust the dimensions of an image on the right hand side of the screen. This is especially useful for adjusting the image to fit different social media sites. The "Crop" option in the dropdown menu removes the outer part of the image, while "Best Fit" will re-size the image to keep focus on the subject.

Our photo editor and permanent embed URLs are for premium users only. Get started with Premium now

FAQs

When should I get a premium account?

You should get a premium account if you want more of our icons and photos (we have a lot of premium content) or if you want to use them without attribution. Our photo embed links and live-editor are also premium only.

Can I embed your photos and icons on a production site?

Yes! Both our icons and photo embeds are served quickly, compatibly, and through a highly-available CDN. These links are designed to be used in production on sites with a lot of traffic. This is also a premium-only feature.

What are photo views and how are they billed?

We have a metered pricing structure for photo embedding. 100,000 views are included in the base $10 plan (we only count one view per page, no matter how many images you use). If you go over 100,000 pageviews, we charge $1 for every extra 10,000 pageviews. If you have a high traffic website you can contact us for better pricing.

Can I use Glyphs in a theme/software I'm reselling?

We do allow using our icons and photos in third-party applications but we require a special developer account for that and there are certain licensing restrictions. Contact us and we'll get you all set up for this.
