# Asset Extractor

> Extract brand colors, fonts, images, and downloadable references from a source.

Asset Extractor answers: **what usable brand and visual materials can I pull into a research pack?**

Asset Extractor is the product surface for collecting visual references from a source: brand colors, font clues, images, and downloadable assets where available. Use it when you need a structured research pack rather than a full teardown.

## What it can collect

| Asset type   | What to expect                                                   |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Brand colors | Visible palette candidates and color swatches                    |
| Fonts        | Font clues or detected type styles when available                |
| Images       | Extracted images or visual references from the source            |
| ZIP download | A packaged export for downstream research or production planning |

Asset Extractor is strongest when the source exposes usable assets cleanly. Some sites and platforms restrict downloads or hide assets behind scripts; in those cases, the extractor returns what it can see.

## Consent and legal limits

Use extracted assets for research, comparison, internal planning, and reference. Do not treat extraction as permission to reuse logos, photos, fonts, footage, or protected brand materials in public work.

If you are working with a client or partner, use sources they own or have authorized you to study.

## Asset Extractor vs teardown

| Use Asset Extractor when                        | Use a teardown when                                    |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| You need brand colors, fonts, images, and a ZIP | You need the strategy, script, cuts, sound, and recipe |
| The source is a web or asset reference          | The source is a video                                  |
| You are building a moodboard or research pack   | You are reverse-engineering how a video works          |
