How it works

How to add text

Open your PDF

Upload the file and scroll to the page that needs new wording.

Drop a text box and type

Click where the text should sit and start typing. Drag the box to line it up with the content already on the page.

Style it and download

Set the font, size, weight, and color, then export the finished PDF.

Works on scanned pages

A new text box sits on top of the page, so you can complete a scanned form or label a scanned drawing that has no editable text layer.

Precise placement

Drag, nudge, and resize each box until it lines up with the fields, columns, or rules already printed on the page.

Reusable styling

Set a font and size once and apply it to the next box, so several notes across a long document look the same.

What you can expect

Clear commitments, not claims

Your files stay yours

Documents are scoped to your account and tied to the project that created them. You choose when a file is shared or removed.

Costs shown before you pay

Self-serve work and quoted work are separated clearly. You see what a request costs before anything is charged.

Honest about limits

We say what a tool does and does not do. Make Creati is for documents you own or are authorized to modify.

Draft content notice. A competitor page would show customer testimonials here. Make Creati has no published reviews yet, so this section states verifiable commitments instead. Swap it for real, attributed reviews once they exist — see docs/PAGE-SPECS.md.

Frequently asked questions

How is adding text different from changing text?

Add Text creates a new box on top of the page. Change Text edits characters already stored in the file. Use Add Text when the page has no editable text where you need it.

Can I fill in a form that has no fillable fields?

Yes. Place a text box over each blank line and type your answer. The download is a flat PDF rather than an interactive form.

Which fonts can I use?

The editor recognises the document's font and matches it with a metric-compatible equivalent, so replacement text keeps the same width and the line does not reflow. Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New, Calibri, and Cambria are matched this way. You can override the choice per text box, along with size, weight, and colour.

Can I move a text box after I type it?

Drag it anywhere on the page, or resize the box to rewrap the words. Nothing is fixed in place until you export.

Will the text be selectable in the downloaded PDF?

Yes. Wording you add stays as live text, so a reader can select, copy, and search it.

What should I not use this for?

Add text to documents you own or are authorized to modify. Do not add wording to another party's records to change what they state.
