Gallery, sharing & remixing

This guide covers how styles move between people: activating a share link, publishing to the public gallery, changing visibility, remixing someone else’s style, and creator profiles.

Visibility levels

Every style has one of three visibility levels:

Every style gets a share link at creation, but the link stays off until you activate it — making a style reachable is always a deliberate act.

Share a style by link

The first time you share a style, StyleRef activates its link as an unlisted publish:

1. Select Share on the style. A required checkbox confirms you own or have the rights to what you’re sharing.
2. An automated review runs — a safety check on the style’s text and images, which also fills in the style’s category, tags, and description.
3. Once the review passes, the link is live at https://styleref.io/share/{slug}.

Anyone with the link sees the full read-only style page and can copy the style into any AI tool — no account needed — or remix it into their own library. A link can be activated for a style of any size.

Publish to the gallery

Publishing with public visibility lists the style in the gallery  across 20 creative disciplines — Photography, Illustration, UI/UX, Cinematography, Brand identity, and more — where anyone can find, copy, save, or remix it.

Gallery publishing has one extra requirement: the style needs at least 10 style items. Below that, publish it as unlisted instead — the link works at any size. The same rights confirmation and automated review apply.

Agents can publish through the same moderated pipeline with the publish_style tool — see Tools reference.

Add sample outputs

While sharing, you can attach your own results made with the style — up to 12 of them, each with an optional prompt, the tool that made it, and a caption. They appear in a Made with this StyleRef strip at the top of the style’s share page, as proof of what it produces.

Attach any mix of three kinds:

• Images — drop them in or pick them.
• Written outputs — paste the copy the style produced, up to 1,200 characters. This is how a copywriting, UX-writing or social-voice style shows what it does; a screenshot of text is not the same thing.
• Clips — short MP4, WebM or MOV files, up to 15 seconds and 12MB. A still is taken from the clip automatically and used wherever a single image is needed, such as the style’s card in the gallery.

Their order is yours to set: drag an output by its handle to move it, or focus the handle and use the up and down arrow keys. The order you arrange is the order visitors see, and the first image or clip becomes the style’s cover when the style doesn’t have one of its own — so lead with your strongest result.

Everything you attach goes through the same automated review as the rest of the style, written outputs included.

Change or revoke visibility

• Take a link back — set the style to private. The link stops working immediately.
• Remove from the gallery, keep the link — set a public style to unlisted.
• Re-activate a revoked link — this re-runs the review, since the style may have changed while it was private.

Remix (fork) a style

Remix on any shared or gallery style copies it into your library as a private, editable copy that keeps lineage back to the original. Use it when you want your own version of someone’s style to tweak. The copy starts private — share or publish it like any style you built yourself.

Creator profiles

Every creator who publishes has a public profile at https://styleref.io/u/{handle} listing their published styles. A handle is assigned automatically the first time you publish.
