</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I import my existing Figma designs?</summary>

Yes- see the **Figma Integration** guide. Link your Figma file to auto-generate the layout that matches your mocks. See details [here](https://docs.maker.co/features/figma).&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>Where can I report bugs or request features?</summary>

Head to **Issue Reporting** under **Stay Connected**, or drop into our community Discord (link in [**Support & Contact**](https://docs.maker.co/community/support-and-contact)).

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens when I click Publish on my project?</summary>

Publishing does three things:

1. **Creates a shareable project link** – Your Maker project is saved on our servers and gets its own URL. You can leave it *Private* (only you and invited collaborators can open it) or flip it to *Public* so anyone with the link can view it.
2. **Does&#x20;*****not*****&#x20;put the project on your website** – Hitting *Publish* alone doesn’t make anything appear on your site. For that, you need to **embed** the project with the embed code we provide.
3. **Starts version history** – From the first time you publish, every later publish becomes a new version that you can roll back to at any time.

> **Tip:** Once the project is embedded, each subsequent *Publish* instantly pushes your latest changes to the live site—no extra steps required.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What support options are available?</summary>

* **Community Forum**: open to all users
* **In-App Support**: included with Pro and Team

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does Maker support product catalog integration?</summary>

Not at this time. This tool doesn’t sync with product feeds (e.g., Shopify, Magento). To include product details, add them via a prompt or paste them manually. Note: any catalog integrations available in our enterprise products—Maker Nav or Maker Pages—do not carry over to this product.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I remove a Maker project from my website?</summary>

To remove a project, remove the Maker embed code from the page where it was added. If you added the page via our custom domain settings, you can disconnect the domain in the project.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>What’s the difference between Public and Private projects?</summary>

* **Public projects** are discoverable and appear on Maker's **Community** page.&#x20;
* **Private projects** are hidden from the Maker's Community page and general browsing.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>Will our Maker preview pages get indexed by Google?</summary>

It’s unlikely since they aren’t linked anywhere publicly. If you’d like to be completely safe, you can ask the Maker to add `noindex` and `nofollow` meta tags to that project via a prompt. That ensures search engines will not index it or follow links from it, even if they do hit the URL.

</details>

<details>

<summary>If we add <code>noindex</code> to the preview page, will that affect the content when it’s embedded on the client site later?</summary>

No, `noindex` only applies to the preview page URL where it’s set. When the content is embedded on your domain, that page’s own indexing settings determine whether it can be indexed.

</details>

### Usage & Limits

<details>

<summary>Are there usage limits?</summary>

Each plan includes a certain credit limit. You can see that in real time on the dashboard. If the credits run out, you can always upgrade to buy additional credits.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What if I add additional credits mid-cycle?</summary>

You can upgrade anytime; we’ll calculate a prorated price for the rest of the month, and the credits will be applied immediately

</details>

### General Account & Workspace

<details>

<summary>Can I invite my teammates?</summary>

Plan admins can invite additional team members. Go to **Manage > Team Settings** to add other team members. Everyone in the workspace will have access to the shared team.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can we work on the same project at once?</summary>

No. Maker does not support real-time collaboration.

</details>

### Working with images, videos and documents in Maker

<details>

<summary>Can Maker produce images or videos?</summary>

Yes. Maker has a built-in image and video generation tool. Click any image in your project, select Generate, and choose whether you want to create an image or a video. You can write your own prompt or click Describe to have Maker generate one based on the selected image. Each generation uses credits, and the cost depends on the model and number of variants you choose. See the \[[Image/Video Generation](https://docs.maker.co/features/image-video-generation)] page for full details.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What kinds of images can I upload to Maker?</summary>

You can upload:

* `.jpeg`
* `.png`
* `.webp`

📏 *Size guidelines:*

* Max file size: **5MB per image**
* Recommended dimensions: **1000x1000 px or larger** for best clarity. Avoid small, low-resolution files.

*Additional tips:*

* Transparency: If your image requires transparency, upload it as **PNG** to prevent unwanted white backgrounds.
* Cropping & aspect ratio: Since Maker is **not** an image‑editing tool, upload the image already cropped and sized exactly as you want it displayed. This eliminates the need for additional prompts to fix proportions later.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I add a video to my project?</summary>

To add a video to the project, paste the public URL where the video is hosted and indicate in the editor where you want the video to appear.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I upload a video to my project?</summary>

Video uploads are not allowed. To add a video to the project, paste the public URL where the video is hosted and indicate in the editor where you want the video to appear.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I upload documents to Maker?</summary>

Yes, we support uploads as a PDF or TXT file.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I create a form with Maker?</summary>

Yes, you can use Maker to build the form, but storing the form field on submission needs to happen on your end, whether on your CRM or database, since we don’t store any data.  You can prompt Maker to submit the data wherever you plan to store it. The whole page can be built in Maker, or you can just add the form you built in Maker to your page.&#x20;

</details>

### Working with fonts in Maker

<details>

<summary>Do I need to switch a style guide to change fonts in Maker, or can I just use a prompt to override the current font?</summary>

You don’t need to switch a style guide—just use a prompt in your current project to request a different font.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does Maker handle custom fonts?</summary>

If it’s a Google Font, you can just mention it in your prompt, and Maker will apply it automatically.

For non-Google custom fonts, direct uploads aren’t supported yet. However, if your font is hosted online (e.g., via a public URL to a `.woff`, `.woff2`, or `.ttf` file), you can include that link in your prompt and ask Maker to use it.

For example:

*“Use the font at this URL: `https://example.com/fonts/MyFont.woff2` for all headings.”*

Support for uploading custom fonts directly is on our roadmap.
