# Glint — Video Effects Camera — Press Kit

*Real-time creative video & photo effects.*

---

## Elevator Pitch

Glint turns your camera into a creative playground — 20 real-time effects that transform you or your background live on screen, at up to 60 frames per second. No cloud, no AI generation, no waiting.

## Key Features

- **Effects that know where you are** — On-device person detection separates you from your background. Apply effects to just you, or just the world.
- **20 live effects** — Overlays, distortions, colour shifts, and adjustments — from pixel mosaics to hand-drawn ink illustrations.
- **Green screen, everywhere** — Stand in front of any photo from your camera roll, or any solid colour. Transform existing photos with the same effects.
- **Real effects, not AI** — Every effect runs live on device. What you see on screen is what you get — instantly, and without ever leaving your phone.
- **Capture and share** — Record video or take photos, then share anywhere.
- **Privacy-first** — Photos and video stay on-device. No uploads, no cloud processing — only anonymous diagnostics.

## Founding Story

Glint started life in October 2021 as "Veil" — an indie iOS app that applied effects live to the viewfinder rather than after capture, which set it apart from post-capture editors like VSCO, Dazz, or Prequel. In 2025 the app joined the Pixelfolio portfolio. Version 3.0 (March 2026) is the Glint rebrand — a clean repositioning from utility framing toward a creative real-time effects camera: neon, silhouette, bokeh, and moody overlays rendered live in the viewfinder. The release also brought a full Liquid Glass redesign and a refined user experience throughout. What you see is what you record.

## About Pixelfolio

Pixelfolio is a one-person iOS studio run by Dominic Williams, who grew up in Wales and now lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The company builds and stewards a portfolio of well-crafted, delightful apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Vision Pro — some acquired from their original developers and given a second life, others built from scratch.
The common thread is a design philosophy built on craftsmanship — sweating every detail of the user experience and putting the customer ahead of everything else. A small studio can care about the things larger teams have to skip, and that care is the product.

**Founder:** Dominic Williams — Founder & Developer

Dominic has been building software for twenty years and iOS apps since 2015. Pixelfolio is his full-time focus.
