Free to use. No registration required. Works on desktop and mobile.

Add to your website

Put the visualiser on your site

Paste one line into an HTML or code block to add a ready-made launch button.

Hosted and maintained by Visual Education. No plugin or database access required.

Advanced: use your own button or link

For developers who want the visualiser to open from an existing button, image or text link on their website.

Add the ID vzv2-launch-lighting-tool to your chosen element, then include the script without data-vzv2-button.

Widget information & compatibility

Served by Visual Education

The visualiser runs in the visitor’s browser and is delivered from Visual Education’s Cloudflare-backed network. It does not install a WordPress plugin, add server-side software or connect to your website database.

Lightweight preview images are shown first so the tool opens quickly. High-resolution image pairs are then progressively loaded from Visual Education’s infrastructure rather than from your website hosting.

Privacy

The Visual Education widget itself does not contain analytics pixels, advertising tags or behavioural tracking code. It does not create cookies, local storage or session storage.

A YouTube privacy-enhanced player is loaded only when a visitor actively chooses to watch a lighting lesson.

Compatibility

The widget uses Visual Education-prefixed styles and identifiers to reduce conflicts with website themes and plugins.

Because every website is configured differently, we recommend testing the embed on a draft or staging page before publishing. Websites using aggressive caching or script-delay tools may need to exclude the Visual Education script from delayed execution.

Updates

The standard embed is automatically maintained by Visual Education. Updates may include performance improvements, compatibility fixes, accessibility improvements, new lighting modifiers and revised educational links.

The widget will not be used to inject third-party advertising or hidden marketing tracking.

Basic terms of use

You may use the supplied embed code to display the Studio Lighting Visualiser on a website that you own or manage.

The visualiser, its code, photography and image assets remain the property of Visual Education. They must not be copied, rehosted, modified, resold or distributed separately from the official embed.

The widget is supplied as is. Visual Education cannot guarantee compatibility with every theme, page builder, caching service, optimisation plugin or custom website configuration.

Website owners are responsible for testing the integration before publishing it on a live website.
