Editorial
Warm and serif-led, like a printed style guide.
Hand off a brand guide that never goes stale.
Upload your logo, colors and fonts once. Gydlyne turns them into one living link, and when you update it, your client's copy updates too.
No card required. Your first guide is free for good.

Built for designers who hand off brands, not files.
Gydlyne is a brand guideline tool for designers: upload a logo, colors and fonts once and get one living link your client can always open, instead of a PDF that goes stale.
03
Pick a look that fits the brand.
Three templates with their own layouts, not one theme in different colors: Editorial, Bold Blocks and Photo-Led.
Bold Blocks
High-contrast and color-forward.
Photo-Led
Full-bleed photography first.
04
The PDF was always the weak link.
What a PDF does
- Goes stale the day you update the palette
- Sits buried in a downloads folder
- Needs re-sending every time something changes
- No way to know if the client's even opened it
What a Gydlyne guide does
- Updates live, so the link never goes out of date
- Lives at a link your client can bookmark
- One edit and you're done. Nothing to re-send
- Colors, fonts, and assets ready to copy or download
05
Upload once. Publish in minutes.
1
Upload the essentials
Add your logo files, colors, fonts and brand assets. Gydlyne lays them out as a finished guide.
2
Reuse it, don't retype it
Add a color once and it's used across the whole guide, with its codes ready to copy.
3
Publish and share
Publish and you get one link to send your client. They open it in a browser, with no account and nothing to download. Add a password on Starter and above.

Questions designers ask.
How do I share a guide with my client?
Send them the link. They open it in any browser, with no account to create and nothing to install. If the guide has a password, give them that too.
Can I update a guide after I've sent the link?
Yes. Edit and republish, and the link your client already has shows the new version. Nothing to re-send.
Can my client edit the guide?
Not from the link; it's view-only. To give them full control, transfer the guide to their own free Gydlyne account from the builder.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free Forever gives you one live guide with every section, up to 5 photos and 6 brand assets, and no credit card. Paid plans allow 5, 10 or unlimited guides and remove the photo and asset limits.
Can I password-protect a guide?
On Starter and above. Set a password in the builder and only people you share it with can view the guide. Free Forever guides are public to anyone with the link.
Can I upload my own fonts?
On Pro and above. On other plans you can pick from the built-in font library.
Can I recover an older version of a guide?
On Pro and above. Every save goes into the guide's version history, and you can restore any version from the builder.
Can I change a guide's look after I've started?
Yes. Switch templates any time in the builder. Your content stays; only the layout and styling change.
What should brand guidelines include?
The logo and how to use it, colors with exact codes, typefaces, image style, the brand's mission and voice, and the files people need. See the full checklist.
What happens to my client's guide if I stop paying?
Nothing right away. We email you first, and guides over your plan's limit freeze after a 7-day grace period, newest first. A frozen guide stays live for your client but is read-only for you. It goes offline only after 6 months, and its content is never deleted.
