How it works
Three steps, no detours
The same sequence applies to every tool in the workspace.
Add your document
Drop in a PDF or choose one from your device. Your file is read in the browser before anything is uploaded.
Make the change
Edit text, reorder pages, add a signature, or run a conversion. The page you are working on stays in view.
Download or deliver
Export the finished file, or keep it in your workspace attached to the order or request it belongs to.
Why Make Creati
A workspace built around the document
Not a pile of disconnected converters. One place where the file, the change, and the finished result stay together.
Service agreement
Page 1 of 3 · editing textSimple enough for daily use
A clean, uncrowded interface. Find the tool you need, do the one thing you came to do, and get on with your day.
All your PDF work in one place
Editing, organizing, converting, and signing run in the same workspace, so a document never has to leave your account mid-task.
Formatting that holds up
Changes are applied to the existing document rather than a rebuilt copy, so spacing and layout stay where you put them.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What can I do with Make Creati?
Change the text already in a PDF, add text, images and signatures, fill in forms, mark up and redact, read the text in scans and images, arrange things in layers, and rotate, reorder, crop, number and merge pages. Then download a PDF, a smaller or password-protected PDF, JPG or PNG images, or plain text. The full list is under Inside the editor above, and each tool page says whether it is available today.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Make Creati runs in a current web browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. There is no desktop application to download.
What happens to my files?
Files are scoped to your account and tied to the project that created them. When you choose a file on the homepage it is read locally in your browser first — nothing is sent anywhere until you continue into your workspace.
Which documents am I allowed to edit?
Documents you own or are authorized to modify. Make Creati is not for falsifying documents, impersonating institutions, altering official records, or producing deceptive paperwork.
What file formats are supported?
PDF, and JPG, JPEG and PNG images, up to 20 MB a file. A picture opens as a page you can edit like a PDF.
How much does it cost?
Self-serve tools and quoted request work are priced separately, and the cost is shown before anything is charged. Final pricing is being confirmed against the released service scope.
