GlowSync 2.0 introduces live group editing — free on iOS & Android

Beauty editing, together

One photo.
Everyone’s glow.

GlowSync is the beauty editor for friends. Everyone retouches their own face on the same photo, live — no export chains, no lost quality, no guessing which version is final.

Why GlowSync

Edit. Save. Send. Re‑edit. Every round of the group‑chat relay crushes your photo. GlowSync puts everyone on one canvas instead — full resolution, forever.

Edit together

Everyone at once. Nothing lost.

A GlowSync session works like getting ready together — one mirror, everyone doing their own face.

Live on one canvas. Send a link and the whole group opens the same photo at the same time — every adjustment appears for everyone as it happens. No accounts needed to join.

Your face is yours. GlowSync assigns each face to its owner. Friends watch your changes happen, but can’t touch your region unless you hand it over — no one gets blurred out of their own photo.

  • Maya's faceonly Maya edits
  • Sofia's faceonly Sofia edits
  • Jess's facehanded to Maya

Zero quality loss. Every edit lives as a layer on one full-resolution original. Nothing is flattened until the group exports — exactly once — so round twelve looks as crisp as round one.

One final, saved to everyone. When the group calls it done, the finished photo lands in every camera roll automatically — same file, same quality. The final is final.

Finally.

We edited our grad photos together on the train home. Nobody waited for anyone. Five minutes, done, and everyone already had the final.

10/10, no notes

My friend used to blur ME to make herself look better 😭 now she literally can't. Face ownership is genius.

The final is FINAL

No more “wait, which one are we posting?” in the chat at 11pm. One photo, everyone has it, it's over.

Quality actually holds

Quality doesn't die after five rounds of everyone's edits. Why did nobody build this sooner?

Camera roll at peace

Went from six files named final-final to one photo we all love. My camera roll has never been this calm.

Bridal party approved

Eight of us on the wedding photos at once, each doing our own face. The group chat has never been quieter.

Good to know

Asked, answered.

Anything else? Write to hello@glowsync.app — a human answers.

Is GlowSync free?

Yes — downloading, editing together, and sharing finals are free. Glow+ ($4.99/mo, shared across your whole group) unlocks pro looks, 4K export, and unlimited session history.

Does my photo really keep full quality?

Really. Everyone's edits are stored as live layers on the one full-resolution original — nothing is flattened until the group exports, exactly once. No save-send-resave chain, no compounding compression.

How many friends can edit at once?

Up to eight people on one photo, live. Faces are auto-detected and assigned as people join, and you can pass a face to a friend if you'd rather they do your retouch.

Can someone edit my face without me?

No. Your face belongs to you by default — friends see your changes happen live, but can't touch your region unless you hand it over. Every edit is attributed, so nothing sneaks in.

Do iPhone and Android friends mix?

Fully. Sessions are cross-platform, and guests can even join a session from the link in a browser before they install the app.

Are our photos private?

Sessions are encrypted in transit and at rest, only invited people can open them, and session copies auto-expire from our servers after everyone has saved the final. Your photos are never used to train anything.
