Make up your fonts with a click

Let your fonts shine in all glory to present them and save as image in seconds. Activate Presenter and immediately get a colorful view right inside of GlyphsApp:

• The frame shows you the exported portion.
• With this you can easily lay out what you want to show.
• Trivia: The colored appearance works live, so you could even make videos of adjusting glyphs in presenter mode.

Save as image (and vector graphic)

One click to save the framed content as an image to the Desktop:

• Pro:Save as PNG and PDF with vectors.
• Free:PNG only (with watermark*).
• PNG comes out as 1080×1080 px, ideal for Instagram.
• No messing around with the screenshot tool from Mac OS. No juggling to find the right pixel size and aspect ratio.
• *) Note: If you don’t fancy the watermark, get the Pro version, or retouch it, or keep messing with the screenshot tool. Up to you 💁‍♂️

Colors

Adjust the colors in seconds:

• Pro:Fill Color.
• Pro:Background Color.
• Pro:Outline Color and toggle to draw outlines or not.
• Free:Fill Color automatically adjusts as the complementary color of the Background Color.
• If the Outline Colour is (same or) darker than the Fill Color, handles get a halo, for better visibility.

Nodes (size and shape)

Those take usually tons of time and work to create with layout and vector apps. Here they come built-in, just a slider push away:

• Adjust the size of the nodes.
• Choose the shape of the nodes from currently 6 presets.
• One of them shows no nodes, so you can play with having an outline only.
• Since version 1.1 there’s a new additional shape: round filled.

Shadow

Because it can just look so much cooler:

• Pro:Adjust size of shadow. 0 size = no shadow.
• Pro:For that decent retro look: Rasterize your shadow!
• Free:Toggle to show shadow or not.

Overlaps (or not)

Sometimes you want to show the original construction, at other times show focus on the final shape:

• Toggle between the 2 options.
• Note: With removed ovelaps active, GlyphsApp can become a little slower with doing this live on many glyphs. The plugin is not meant to be active all the time, so it shouldn’t be a problem anyway.

Square or Portrait

Now you can choose to export in square or portrait mode

• Toggle between the 2 options.
• 1080 × 1080 = Intsagram default.
• 1080 × 1920 = Intsagram stories.

White on Black

A very popular rendering is white on black. Now you can easily achieve that without any extra effort.

• When your background is black, the shadow will be white, no matter if it’s solid or rasterized.
• You’ll still be able to see the screenshot frame now.

Use it for process recordigs

Like Alex Slobzheninov did here and here.
