# BrandGen — Full LLM-Friendly Reference > AI-powered brand image generator. Extracts your Brand DNA from a reference creative or written guidelines, then enforces those rules on every generated marketing image. Last updated: 2026-06-09 Languages: English (default), Spanish (/es), Chinese (/zh) Founder: Yash Soni Parent company: Apex36 Technologies (https://www.apex36tech.com) Canonical URL: https://www.getbrandgen.com --- ## What is BrandGen? BrandGen is a brand-consistent AI image generator built for marketers and non-designers. It is purpose-built for generating on-brand marketing images — not a logo maker, not a multi-page document tool, not a general creative AI playground. Plain-English definition: instead of typing a prompt into a generic AI model and getting a different visual style every time, BrandGen first learns your brand's colors, typography, layout patterns, and tone (the "Brand DNA"). Every prompt you write afterwards is constrained to those rules, so outputs stay recognizably yours. Technical definition: BrandGen wraps a multimodal generative image model with a structured brand-spec constraint layer. The Brand DNA spec is extracted via vision analysis of one or more reference creatives (or accepted as plain-text guidelines), serialized into a stable schema (palette tokens, typographic preferences, composition rules, tonal descriptors, do/don't lists), and injected into every generation request as a rule set the model is conditioned on. --- ## Brand DNA Brand DNA is the structured style spec BrandGen builds from your input. It includes: - Color palette (primary, secondary, accent, neutral, backgrounds) - Typography preferences (serif vs sans, weight, casing, spacing) - Composition / layout patterns (grid, focal point, whitespace ratio) - Tone descriptors (minimal, bold, editorial, luxury, playful, etc.) - Visual do's and don'ts extracted from the reference It powers every generation thereafter: the same prompt, applied to two different brand DNAs, yields two visually distinct on-brand outputs. --- ## How It Works (workflow with example I/O) 1. **Provide a reference** — upload one on-brand creative (banner, post, packshot) or paste your written brand guidelines. 2. **Brand DNA is extracted** — BrandGen's vision layer pulls palette, typography, composition, tone, and do/don't rules into a structured spec you can review and edit. 3. **Describe what you want** — type the image you need ("Instagram story for Black Friday", "LinkedIn banner for our podcast launch", etc.). 4. **BrandGen generates on-brand variants** — every generation is constrained by your Brand DNA, so outputs land in the same visual system as your reference. 5. **Iterate or download** — regenerate variants, refine the prompt, save outputs in PNG/JPG ready to ship. ### Worked example Input: a single LinkedIn banner from a fintech brand using deep green + bright lime accents, condensed sans-serif, mountain logo, generous whitespace. Brand DNA extracted: `{ palette: [#0F2A1D, #B8E63A, #FFFFFF], typography: "condensed sans, all-caps headlines", composition: "left-anchored headline, hero illustration right, ample whitespace", tone: "trust + energy", dont: "avoid stock photography, gradients" }`. Prompt: "Instagram story for our auto-save investment feature." Output: a vertical 9:16 image with the same green palette, headline space top-left, mountain logomark bottom-right, no stock photography; recognizably the same brand as the input banner. --- ## Pricing BrandGen is freemium.

A: Not at all. BrandGen is built for non-designers. Just upload a reference or paste your brand guidelines, then describe what you need in plain language. The AI handles composition, layout, and brand consistency automatically. ### Q: What can I upload as a brand reference? A: Any visual that represents your brand: logos, existing social posts, banners, product photos, posters, or marketing creatives. BrandGen extracts your brand's color palette, typography, layout, and visual tone from the reference. ### Q: What is Brand DNA and how does it work? A: Brand DNA is the structured style guide BrandGen creates from your input. It captures your color palette, typography, layout patterns, tone (minimal, bold, luxury, etc.), and visual do's and don'ts. Every generation is constrained to that DNA, so outputs stay on-brand by default. ### Q: Do I need to pay to use BrandGen? A: BrandGen is freemium. There is a free plan (30 one-time credits, no credit card) plus paid monthly plans - Basic $7, Pro $17, and Max $55 - for higher generation volume. The watermark is removed from Pro upward. See https://www.getbrandgen.com/pricing. ### Q: How is BrandGen different from generic AI image generators? A: Generic tools like Midjourney or DALL·E have no concept of your brand — every prompt is independent, so colors, typography, and composition drift. BrandGen adds a brand-rule constraint layer on top of image generation, enforcing your Brand DNA on every output. It's the difference between a creative image tool and a brand-consistent marketing image generator. ### Q: What types of marketing assets can I create? A: Social media posts (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), web banners, hero images, product launch graphics, event posters, email headers, and presentation visuals — all from one Brand DNA spec. ### Q: How long does generation take? A: Most outputs generate in 6-10 seconds. The exact time depends on complexity and current server load, but you'll typically see results in under 10 seconds. ### Q: Do you store my uploaded images or train on them? A: Your uploaded references and brand guidelines are stored only within your session for generation purposes. Sessions are temporary and reset when you start over. We don't use your brand materials for any other purpose. ### Q: What languages does BrandGen support? A: The BrandGen marketing site is available in English, Spanish, and Chinese (Mandarin). The application itself accepts prompts in any language. ### Q: Can I use BrandGen as an alternative to Canva? A: For AI-generated marketing images, yes — BrandGen replaces template-shopping with a prompt and a Brand DNA spec. For multi-page documents, presentations, or print collateral with precise typesetting, Canva remains the better fit. BrandGen is purpose-built for brand-consistent marketing image generation, not general-purpose design. --- ## Discovery Hubs (start here) - **Sitemap**: https://www.getbrandgen.com/sitemaps — every public page on one screen, grouped into General, Comparisons, Use cases, and Gallery - **Links**: https://www.getbrandgen.com/links — every BrandGen channel (app, socials, support) in one place --- ## Primary Pages - Homepage: https://www.getbrandgen.com/ - About / company background: https://www.getbrandgen.com/about - Pricing: https://www.getbrandgen.com/pricing - Authenticated app: https://www.getbrandgen.com/app - Blog: https://www.getbrandgen.com/blog - Blog post — "What is Brand DNA?": https://www.getbrandgen.com/blog/what-is-brand-dna - Changelog: https://www.getbrandgen.com/changelog - Security & data practices: https://www.getbrandgen.com/security ### Localized homepages - English: https://www.getbrandgen.com/ - Spanish: https://www.getbrandgen.com/es - Chinese (Mandarin): https://www.getbrandgen.com/zh --- ## Gallery - Gallery index: https://www.getbrandgen.com/gallery — every showcase output across categories - Each gallery item has its own detail page at `/gallery/` with the prompt, the Brand DNA source (reference image or written guidelines), and the workflow explanation Categories represented in the gallery: - Food & Beverage - Design & Creative - Real Estate - Fitness & Wellness - Fashion & Apparel - Home & Furniture - Automotive - Technology & SaaS - Brand Campaigns - Marketing Assets --- ## Comparison Pages (BrandGen vs ...)
