Brand Kit Builder isn’t working
If Brand Kit Builder can’t extract content, you’ll see an error message with steps you can try.
For websites:
- Make sure you entered a valid, public website URL.
- Check that the website contains accessible brand content.
- Try a different page from the same website or use a different website.
- Some websites may block Brand Kit Builder from accessing their content. If this happens, add your brand elements manually.
For PDFs:
- Make sure the file is under 200 MB.
- Use a clearly formatted PDF.
- Try a different file if the PDF is complex, password-protected, or contains scanned pages that can’t be read.
Extraction results can vary. Some websites and PDFs may return fewer assets or less detailed guidance than others.
Who can use Brand Kit Builder?
Brand Kit Builder is exclusively available to team owners, admins, and brand designers with Brand Kit edit access. Team members cannot access this feature unless granted specific permissions.
How long does the process take?
Website extraction is usually instant. PDF extraction takes around a minute on average, but it can vary depending on the file’s size and complexity.
Will it replace my existing Brand Kit content?
For Brand Kits with minimal or incomplete content, extracted elements may replace existing ones. If your Brand Kit already contains key elements, Brand Kit Builder won't appear.
