Start from your brand

When you open Piksio you get two choices:

The Piksio home screen with Create a personalized image and Add a brand

  • Create a personalized image opens the template creation flow. Start with AI, a gallery template or the canvas, then reuse your saved design with each recipient’s details. No brand or project is required.
  • Add a brand reads your website first: its colours, fonts, imagery and tone of voice. Everything you make inside that brand starts from that look.

Adding a brand isn’t a separate product. Most people who make personalized images still want them to look like the rest of their emails. Reading your website first is the quickest way to get your exact colours and fonts into the editor, instead of picking them by hand.

Add a brand

Section titled “Add a brand”
  1. On the home screen, click Add a brand.
  2. Type your website, like yourbrand.com, and click Create.
  3. Open the brand and add a project (see Projects). Your first project opens on the Brand step.
  4. Click Read brand look. Piksio reads the site and fills in your brand profile. This takes a few seconds.

A brand profile read from allbirds.com: colours, fonts, personality words and site imagery

Fix what the scan got wrong

Section titled “Fix what the scan got wrong”

Everything in the brand profile can be edited. Change a colour, swap a font, add or remove personality words, pick a different corner style. A website doesn’t always show a brand the way the brand wants to be shown, so check the profile before you build on it.

In the example above, the scan found Allbirds’ font, Geograph, but Piksio can’t use it in images. The profile says so and offers an upload. See Brand fonts.

Re-scan

Section titled “Re-scan”

Changed your website? Open the brand’s Brand step, click Re-scan, then Re-scan now.

Your edits are kept. A re-scan only refreshes the sections you haven’t changed, so a colour you fixed by hand stays fixed.

If you read the same site recently, Piksio reuses that reading instead of scanning again. Click Re-scan to force a fresh one.
