Adding images from Google Photos is an easy process that gives you access to all of your images. You can access Google Photos from either the Image Manager or through the Open menu.
From the Image Manager
1a. Desktop: While in your Image Manager, select the [...] button to open the Image Library. From there, select Google Photos on the left.
1b. Mobile: While in your Image Manager, select the [+] button and select Google Photos.
2. When prompted, give BeFunky access to Google Photos. You'll be asked to sign in to the Google account that your Google Photos is on.
3. After signing in, we'll prompt you to open Google Photos.
4. Once on Google Photos, select the images you wish to share with BeFunky.
5. After selecting images, click Done. Once you receive the confirmation from Google, you can close the Google Photos tab on your browser and return to BeFunky.
6. You'll now see all the photos you shared with BeFunky. We also automatically add all the photos you share to the Image Manager. If you don't want all of them in the Image Manager, you can de-select them before closing the Image Library.
From the Open Menu
1. From the Open menu in the top bar, select Google Photos. This will open the Google Photos tab of the Image Library.
2. When prompted, give BeFunky access to Google Photos. You'll be asked to sign in to the Google account that your Google Photos is on.

Reconnecting and Adding More Photos
For your security, the connection between BeFunky and Google Photos will stay active for 1 hour. Once that expires you will need to reconnect in order to access your Google Photos again. We will be sure to prompt you if and when this is required.
You might also decide that you want to share additional photos from Google Photos. To do this, look for the Re-Select Photos button at the top of the Google Photos tab in the Image Library.
In both cases, you will need to select ALL of the photos you'd like to work with on BeFunky, even the ones you have previously selected.
Pro Tip: Any photos you add to the Image Manager will stay available between sessions as long as you don't clear the browser cache. You can also save images to BeFunky for use on all your devices.
