How does it work?

When installed alongside our Mico Upload Ultimate or Mico Crop module, the Aviary Editor add-on enables the Web-based photo editor at your Magento store. When a customer uploads an image to a product page they will see a new button that says “edit image” or “stylize image” or any other text you want to use. Customers will then have access to all the features you have enabled in your Aviary Web application settings, features like photo enhancements, custom text with different fonts, silly stickers, red-eye removal, design frames, custom crop and scale and rotate.

Out-of-the-box, simply create a product with a file upload option.

1. Create a product in your Magento store
2. Add a custom option with input type of “file”
3. Go to Aviary website and create an HTML5 Web Editor App
4. Copy the App key (and secret*) from Aviary website
5. Paste App key (and secret) into your Magento store module configuration
6. Specify what editor features to enable in Magento store module configuration
7. Done! It’s that easy.

What are the options?

Along with the 20 awesome tools that come built-in to the Web editor (see list below), we have added a small feature to customize the “Edit image” button text as well as the ability to set a default image for editing that can be overridden per product. This default image feature is perfect for setting a default background image for custom print products like postcards and business cards where the customer just needs to add some simple text and checkout. This option makes our Aviary Web Editor extension an affordable, entry-level web to print (w2p) add-on for Magento.
