# Custom branding for CineFlow PDF exports

> Create branded PDF exports with your own logo, colors, and fonts. Custom branding is available on the Pro plan and managed from the Utilities hub.

Custom branding lets you replace the CineFlow watermark on PDF exports with your own production company's logo, colours, and fonts. Once you've saved a brand profile, attach it to any project and every PDF exported from that project will carry your branding: callsheets, shot lists, gear lists, and other documents.

## Plan requirements

Custom branding is a **Pro plan** feature.

| Plan               | Watermark          | Custom logo | Custom colors | Custom font |
| ------------------ | ------------------ | ----------- | ------------- | ----------- |
| Free / Solo / Team | CineFlow watermark | No          | No            | No          |
| Pro                | No watermark       | Yes         | Yes           | Yes         |

<Note>
  You can create and save brand profiles before upgrading. They'll be applied to exports as soon as your account has Pro access.
</Note>

## Accessing branding

Branding is managed through the **Utilities** hub rather than the main Settings page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Utilities hub">
    In the left sidebar, click the **Utilities** icon. On mobile, tap **Utilities** in the bottom navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Branding">
    Click the **Branding** card. If your account isn't on a Pro plan, an upgrade prompt appears instead.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Creating a brand profile

You can save multiple brand profiles, which is useful if you work across different production companies or need separate identities for different project types.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click the + button">
    In the Branding page, click **+** in the top-right corner to open the brand form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter a brand or company name">
    Type the name of the production company or brand. This name identifies the profile in the list. It doesn't appear on exports unless you include it in your logo image.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a logo">
    Click the upload area and select a logo file. PNG, SVG, or JPG files are recommended. The logo appears in the top area of exported PDFs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set colors">
    Choose a **Primary color** using the colour picker or by typing a hex code. Optionally add a **Secondary color** for accent elements. These colours are applied to headers and section dividers in PDF exports.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a font">
    Select a **Font family** from the dropdown. The list includes popular options such as Inter, Montserrat, Playfair Display, and others. Leave this set to **Default** if you want to use the standard CineFlow document font.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the brand">
    Click **Save Brand**. The new profile appears in your brand list.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Editing and deleting brand profiles

Hover over a brand card to reveal the edit and delete actions.

* Click the **pencil icon** to open the brand form with existing values pre-filled.
* Click the **trash icon** to permanently delete the brand profile. This doesn't affect PDFs you've already exported.

<Warning>
  Deleting a brand profile removes it from your account immediately. Any projects that referenced it will fall back to the default CineFlow styling on future exports.
</Warning>

## Attaching a brand to a project

Open the project where you want to use the branding, navigate to **Project Settings**, and select the brand profile from the **Brand** dropdown. Every PDF exported from that project will use the selected brand.

<Tip>
  Keep your logo file under 2 MB and use a transparent background (PNG or SVG) so it sits cleanly on both light and dark PDF themes.
</Tip>

## Where branded PDFs are used

Once a brand profile is attached to a project, it applies to:

* **Callsheets**: crew call times, location details, and production info
* **Shot lists**: scene and shot breakdowns
* **Gear lists**: equipment manifests
* **Other documents**: any document exported to PDF from the project
