Breath New Life Into Your Web Page with Facelift

Breath New Life Into Your Web Page with Facelift

Facelift Image Replacement (or FLIR, pronounced fleer) is an image replacement script that dynamically generates image representations of text on your web page in fonts that otherwise might not be visible to your visitors.  The generated image will be automatically inserted into your web page via Javascript and visible to all modern browsers. Any element with text can be replaced: from headers (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) to <span> elements and everything in between!

More About FLIR

Tired of Arial and Times New Roman? I know I am. Up until now you had a choice of using sIFR, or painstakingly designing image headers and adding them to your web page manually. Of course, this gets a little old, especially after deciding to change color schemes two or three times.

Enter facelift. It is the best of both worlds! Create your website as you would normally, and then install the two lines of code that facelift requires. The elements that you want to style will be replaced with an image representation of that text styled with your custom font. And since the text is retrieved directly from the page, you don’t have to worry about updating any images when text changes — it is all done automatically!
