Generate Professional Brand Guidelines, In Seconds
Guideit is a brand guidelines generator for Adobe Illustrator. Upload your logo, fonts, and colors, choose an Automated Template™ and click Generate. No more dragging logos, typing hex codes, or buying expensive templates. Share one Google Drive link and every update syncs automatically.
I’m Kwaku, the solo founder behind Akrivi, and today I’m finally sharing something I’ve wanted to build for over 4 years: Guideit — a brand guidelines generator inside Adobe Illustrator. Excited… and definitely a bit nervous.
I’ve been a brand identity designer for almost 10 years, working with clients across different industries. And there’s one universal truth every designer knows:
👉 Creating brand guidelines is the most boring, draining part of every branding project. You finish the brand identity, you’re excited… and then the admin begins.
When I surveyed nearly 500 designers, I learned something shocking but unsurprising: 75% of designers spend 8–40 hours creating a single brand guidelines document. And that’s not just “time wasted” — it’s mentally and creatively exhausting. Dragging logos. Typing color codes. Fixing spacing. Re-exporting PDFs. It kills momentum and drains the fun out of the process.
Designers told me they wanted three things: ⚡️Speed — a way to create guidelines fast 🎨 Style — a library of clean, modern templates 🛜 Share-ability — simple online sharing and effortless updates
So I set out to build exactly that.
Guideit:
✔ Generates brand guidelines in seconds ✔ Lives inside Illustrator (no platform switching) ✔ Uses a growing library of Automated Templates™ ✔ Lets you share one Google Drive link ✔ Automatically updates with an Apply Changes button ✔ Makes guideline creation simple, fast, and stress-free
After years of wanting to fix this problem… I finally built the tool I always wished existed🪄
How it works:
1️⃣ Upload your logo, fonts, and colors 2️⃣ Choose a template 3️⃣ Click Generate 4️⃣ Share with your client using Google Drive 5️⃣ Apply changes anytime and update online automatically
It’s the fastest way to create brand guidelines. Period.
If you’re a designer or know someone who spends hours building guidelines, I’d truly love for you to try Guideit.
Thanks so much for the support today 🙏🏿 Guideit is officially launching very soon — we’re currently letting people join the waitlist before opening access.
