Glossy makes thumbnails and promo stills from your video or photos, in each platform's shape, from only the pictures that platform allows. Suggestive pictures get tighter safe crops, rated again on their own; every finished still is rated once more before you get it.
Nothing opens in this browser — this one takes a job and does the work on our own graphics cards in Oregon. The free allowance below is how you try it: 20 stills, no card and no payment, on the key you are issued.
Runs on this computer today. It opens to the public when two pieces are in place — see below.
The problem
Automated nudity filters read the cover and the preview before any person does. The picture that sells the set on your own page is the one that gets a TikTok or Instagram account restricted. Picking and cropping a safe one for every platform by hand is slow, and guessing is expensive.
The picture it came from, and the finished still in the platform's own shape.
A suggestive picture gets tighter framings, each rated on its own. Only one rated sfw reaches the strict platforms.
If any picture might show somebody under 18, nothing is made from the job for any platform.
Glossy answers this computer only until every picture is checked against known abuse material with PhotoDNA before a model sees it, and it runs on GPU capacity whose terms allow adult content. It refuses to open without both.
How it works
A path on your computer, or up to 30 photos.
TikTok cover, Instagram post, X card, Reddit preview, a square. Add a caption if you like.
With a sheet saying where each came from, how it was framed and how to post it.
What it will never do
A still points people to where the full work is sold.
Pricing
A unit is one still delivered. Rating and safe crops are free.
Covers for your next four releases.
A month of covers everywhere you post.
A back catalogue's covers redone.
Paid in bitcoin through our own checkout; the stills are added to your key as soon as the payment confirms. Your licence key is emailed to you within two working days of payment.
Checkout is our own bitcoin server, not a card processor. The units you buy are added to your key: buy from the Buy more box inside the program and they arrive on their own once the payment confirms, or buy here and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that box.
Questions
No. It finds and frames pictures that are already within each platform's rules, and checks them. It never disguises anything.
Yes - Montage cuts the clips, Glossy makes the covers and stills. Same ratings, same rules table date.
It makes fewer stills and says so. You are only charged for stills delivered.
No. Photos are held in memory for the job; an uploaded video is deleted when it ends.
A key. One line of text, issued to you and shown exactly once — only its hash is kept here, so it cannot be looked up later and we could not tell you what yours is. Every key arrives with a free allowance already on it, which is the tier at the top of the pricing above, and the work starts the first time you send a job with that key on it.
Each job is metered in the unit named in the pricing, and a unit that fails — a file that will not read, a row the model held back — is not charged and is named in the job report rather than silently skipped. When an allowance runs out the next job is refused before any work starts, with the number it used printed on the refusal.
More units are bought in bitcoin. The checkout is a bitcoin server we run ourselves. Buy from the Buy more box inside the program and the units are added to your key on their own as soon as the payment confirms; buy from the plan buttons above and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that same box. Each payment adds its units once, to one key.
Make a key, point it at your latest video, and tick the platforms.
