How to Create a Brand Kit

Brand Kit is the place where you can gather all your branding materials – logos, watermarks, custom domains, and more. Once you create a brand kit, the saved settings can be easily applied to any galleries.

To begin, head to the homepage and click on the Brandkit tab in the left-hand drawer.

Once there, you’ll see the default Brand Kit that is placed in every account during onboarding.

To create a new one, click on the Create Brand Kit button in the upper-left corner.

Proceed by naming your new Brand Kit and clicking the Create button.

On the main Brand Kit screen, begin by uploading a logo. This will be displayed in your client galleries.

You can have a Graphic or Text logo. In the right-hand drawer, click on Upload Image and select a Light and Dark logo from your system. Below that, you can select the size in which the logo will be displayed by clicking on Small, Medium, or Large.

If you scroll down, you can choose where you want to place the logo – on the cover, navigation bar, footer, or on all three of them. You can also upload a favicon, which is a small logo that appears in the browser next to your domain link.

Head back to the top of the drawer and click on the Text tab. Here you can set up your text logo by typing it out, choosing its font, and size.

​

At the top of the screen, click on the Watermark tab. Here you can add and customize a logo that will be displayed on your watermarked images.

Below that, you can customize the cover background and image overlay by changing their color.

Lastly, type in the title and description that will be displayed on the cover. You can customize the font, boldness, size, and color of the text.

Once you’re done, you can check how the cover will look on mobile devices by clicking on the mobile phone icon. Click on the desktop icon to return to desktop preview.

Once you’re done setting everything up, go back to the main Brandkit screen, and you’ll see your new brand kit. Click on the 3 dots next to the brand kit. In the dropdown that appears, you can select to duplicate a brand kit, set it as the default one, or delete it.

Note: A brand kit that has galleries connected to it cannot be deleted. You’ll need to disconnect them first and then delete it.

You can switch a gallery’s brand kit at any point in time. All you have to do is open the gallery, click on the Brand Kit dropdown in the right-hand drawer, and select the brand kit you wish to use.

Note: If the new brand kit has a different watermark, it will only apply to the images that you add to the gallery after the switch.
