Pictures

Ten images from the Photosymbols library covering a variety of topics.

The iconic Easy Read picture library

With thousands of images created alongside our Expert Advisers and featuring models with learning disabilities throughout, Photosymbols is the preferred choice for many people who use Easy Read.

Ten images in the Photosymbols library depicting grief. One image has been selected, showing icon buttons that allow someone to interact with it.

Whether making sense of current affairs, or supporting you in explaining sensitive concepts, everything in the library is based on our team’s comprehensive understanding of accessible communication, disability rights and good design.

"Just to say – thank you. Again you quickly created or foregrounded images that supported people to understand and respond to the recent events. You never fail to support us all." - Sam, UK Charity CEO

An image of the Photosymbols picture editor where someone is creating a picture of beans and egg on toast. One element of the picture is selected and some buttons at the top suggest that these can be used to interact with the image.

Personal, local and flexible

Can’t find the perfect image to get your message across? Easily combine two or more pictures to create new meaning using our in-built Picture Editor, which integrates with the rest of our system for creating Easy Read.

Ten images organised under a tab called 'Personal pictures'. The pictures are a mixture of images that have been uploaded and created by combining different Photosymbols.

Upload personal photos to reflect real locations, equipment or people, making your Easy Read more relevant to your audience. Share images like logos or staff photos with the rest of your team to keep branding consistent.

Ten images are displayed under a tab called 'Favourites'. They are a variety of images from the Photosymbols library.

Your library, your way

Save your favourite pictures from the library to be used again and again, whether on your desktop or in our custom built Design Mode software for creating Easy Read.

Two grey text boxes read 'Summary' and 'Alt Text' and there is some summary and alt text information describing an image. There is a button saying 'Copy Alt Text'.

Little details like our optional Safe Search or suggested Alt Text mean that whoever you’re creating Easy Read with or for, you can tailor your experience to suit your workflow and tailor your information to meet their needs.
