What is Captchamaker?

CaptchaMaker is a premium Captcha tool that allows you to build and customize Captchas that match the look, feel, and branding of your website better than third-party captchas like reCAPTCHA. CaptchaMaker is meant for web developers, companies, and others who want to integrate branded captchas with their website.

How do I use CaptchaMaker?

CaptchaMaker has a simple interface that allows you to visually design your own captcha. You can add your company's logo, as a PNG, JPEG, and GIF images with full support for transparency. We have multiple templates you can select from to brand your custom Captcha with your logo.

Once you have added your logo, you can also customize your captcha's fonts and colors to match your site's layout, and fine-tune captcha settings to fit your site's security and UX needs.

Once you have configured your custom captcha, enter your email and click Generate Captcha. The code you need to install your new captcha will be generated, and emailed to you.

How do I install CaptchaMaker on my website?

Installing a custom captcha is simple! Since we host your captcha for you, there is no need to download or install any third-party libraries.

You will need to install a snippet of front-end code in your form's HTML to print out your Captcha image and allow the user to enter the Captcha value. This snippet can be styled with custom CSS to enable even further integration with your site's layout.

Finally, you will need to add a few lines of backend code to your form handler which will contact the CaptchaMaker.com server to validate the captcha the user solved. All of the code you need will be provided when you generate your Captcha. For detailed installation instructions, read the CaptchaMaker Installation Guide.
