brand stack · review stamps · watermarks — from one drop
Drop a brand board, logo, or any image that carries your colours. If the board has a printed swatch strip, Brand Lab reads those colours exactly; otherwise it extracts a palette from the image. PDF boards and logo ZIPs work too.
Named accents join every colour chip row, and travel in brand.json, palette.css, colours.txt and the palette card. Reading a board's printed hex codes fills these automatically.
Optional but recommended — a transparent PNG works best. Drop logos one at a time, several at once, or a whole ZIP — every variant joins the Logo lab below. Without a logo, Brand Lab builds a monogram from your brand name and primary colour.
Trace colours — how many the vector keeps. Flat logos sit happily at 8–16; gradient-heavy marks want 16–32. Fine photographic detail always simplifies. Low-quality sources are smoothed automatically before tracing — but no cleanup beats uploading the largest original you have.
Best-guess from the board's text — including any printed hex codes, which land straight in your palette (great for ChatGPT / AI-generated brand sheets). Check the fields after; stylised logotypes don't always read, and tiny hex labels can be missed. First use downloads a small text-reader (a few MB, needs internet); big boards take a few extra seconds.
How the stack backgrounds are built from your palette.
Made something with Brandid? Tell the makers — and help other makers find it.
Try every logo variation against the collected palette. Tap a colour to change the preview background, tap a variant to make it the working logo, and push a colour into the stack when it clicks.
The full sweep — feed posts, stories, covers, banners, thumbnails, avatar, email header and app icon — generated from your brand in one pass. Tap Edit on any card to set its background — a palette colour or your own photo — plus branding position and tagline; Download saves that card as a PNG. Previews are scaled; downloads are full resolution.
Or grab the logo or the wording right on the preview and drag it anywhere.
Batch-stamp your logo (or monogram) onto photos and mockups.
Bakes a machine-readable notice into every exported image — PNG metadata (Copyright, ai-usage) plus a near-invisible tiled text layer. On plain backgrounds machines can read the layer back word-for-word; on busy photos it survives as a forensic trace. Made for small makers photographing their own products: post freely, and any bot that looks knows the image is yours and not licensed for copying or AI training. Honest limits: metadata can be stripped and no system is forced to honour a notice — this is a clear legal signpost, not a lock.
Colour-code a PDF's review status so it's visible at a glance — in thumbnails, previews, and the filename itself. Stamp a status banner on page one, or prepend a full branded cover page.
The output is a copy — your original is untouched. Filename gets a [STATUS] tag so status survives email and shows in any file browser. Re-stamping a new status replaces the old banner/cover cleanly if you stamp the original again.
One ZIP with every asset at full size, plus a machine-readable brand pack: import.csv (drag into Notion or Airtable to create a database), brand.json, and palette.css.
Every piece shipped separately — plain backgrounds, your transparent logo, wording and colours — with a plain-English quick-start inside. Unzip it, then in Canva use Uploads → “…” → Upload folder: the pack lands as a named folder of full-size, clearly-named backgrounds plus your logo. (Canva skips the pack's .txt notes — that's fine.) Got Canva Pro? The quick-start also shows the one-time Brand Kit step so every new design offers your brand automatically.
A friendly, branded two-pager explaining every export above — including the Canva quick-start — perfect to hand to someone who's new to all of this.
Or queue them in the tray:
