Frontify: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Brand management platform for guidelines, assets and on-brand templates

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Frontify?

Frontify is a brand management platform that keeps a company's brand guidelines, digital assets and templates together in one place. Instead of storing logos in one tool and the rules for using them in a PDF somewhere else, Frontify puts the guidance right next to the files. Teams use it to document logo use, color, typography, imagery and tone of voice, and to give everyone a brand portal showing the content they are allowed to use.

The platform now positions itself around AI. Its Brand Assistant answers questions about the brand, finds files and helps create on-brand content, and other AI tools can connect to the brand data through MCP and an API. Built-in templates let local and global teams produce materials without breaking the rules. Frontify is developed by Frontify AG and targets mid-size and large organizations.

How does Frontify work?

  1. Document your brand

    Build digital brand guidelines covering logo, color, type, imagery and voice, with examples placed beside the related assets.

  2. Store and tag assets

    Upload brand assets to the DAM, where they are tagged and described automatically so they can be searched by keyword or question.

  3. Create from templates

    Set up templates with brand rules built in so teams anywhere can produce on-brand content without design help.

  4. Connect people and AI tools

    Give staff and partners access through the brand portal, and connect design tools and AI agents through integrations, MCP and the API.
