How it works
How to add watermark
Open your PDF
Upload the document. Nothing is stamped until you set the watermark up.
Choose text or an image
Type the wording or pick a logo, then set how faint it is, the angle and where it sits.
Check the pages and download
The watermark shows on every page you chose. Open the watermark settings again to adjust it, then download.
Why Make Creati
Built to keep document work clear
One workspace for the file, the change, and the finished result — with the next step always visible.
Service agreement
Page 1 of 3 · editing textYou see it before you commit
A preview shows the watermark on your own page while you set it up, so a mark that hides a table is caught before the download.
Text or your own logo
Use a word, or a PNG with a transparent background so only the mark itself shows.
All pages or a range
Stamp the whole document, or leave the cover and appendices clean.
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
Can a watermark be removed later?
By someone with a PDF editor, yes. A watermark marks a page. It does not lock it. Add a password on download if the file needs restricting.
Can I use my logo?
Yes. PNG and JPEG are accepted. A PNG with a transparent background works best.
Will the watermark cover my text?
It sits on top of the page at the opacity you choose. Around 15 to 30 percent keeps the page readable.
Can I put it on only some pages?
Yes. Choose pages and enter a range such as 2-8, 10.
Can I leave the watermark off one page?
Yes. Choose pages and enter the pages to stamp, leaving that page out of the range.
What should I not use this for?
Do not stamp a document to suggest it was approved, certified or issued by someone who did not do so.
