}Internal Server ErrorCreate brand asset submission
Extracts the design system of one brand asset, a finished marketing piece such as a billboard, a poster, or any social media post or ad: its colors and how much of each, gradients and grain, type, layout, logo, elements, and people.
Upload one PNG, JPEG, or WebP image. It can be the flat creative, a mockup, or a photo of the piece where it runs; a mockup or a photo is straightened and cropped to the creative before anything is measured.
The job runs asynchronously: poll GET /design/submissions/{id} until the status is completed or failed, then read the design system from GET /design/submissions/{id}/result. A failed submission’s error starts with NOT_A_BRAND_ASSET or UNREADABLE_IMAGE (send another image) or EXTRACTION_FAILED (retry the same request).
Costs 2 credits, refunded when the extraction fails. Every upload is a fresh extraction and is never served from cache. See Brand asset extraction.
