How long does it take to extract brand guidelines from my PDF?
I just uploaded my brand guide and I'm curious about the processing time. How long should I expect to wait?
My brand guide is about 45 pages with lots of images and color swatches. Will that affect the extraction time?

Most brand guides are processed in 30-60 seconds. For larger documents (50+ pages or image-heavy like yours), it can take up to 2 minutes.
You'll see a progress indicator during processing, and you'll receive a notification when extraction is complete.
Your 45-page guide:
With lots of images and color swatches, expect closer to 1-2 minutes. The images don't slow things down much - what matters more is the overall file size.
Tip: While waiting, you can navigate away. We'll notify you when it's ready!
