The problem

Certificates are a feature request before they're a feature

Learners start asking for a certificate long before it's worth building a certificate pipeline, and the interim answer is usually a designer's afternoon and a shared folder.

  • Manual issuing doesn't survive growth

    It works at ten learners a month and collapses at a hundred. The failure is gradual, which is what makes it easy to under-plan.

  • A screenshot isn't a credential

    Learners want to post completion to LinkedIn, and an image with no verifiable backing is worth very little to the person reading their profile.

  • Every course needs a different layout

    Course titles vary wildly in length, and a layout that fits 'SQL Basics' breaks on 'Foundations of Statistical Inference for Product Analytics'.

The generator is right here. Pick a design, fill in the details, download the file.

Best on a screen at least 900px wide. Certificates render at print resolution and are yours to use commercially. Fair-use limit: 10 downloads an hour, 40 a day.

What you get

What the free tool is good for here

  • Validating demand cheaply

    Issue by hand for the first cohort and find out whether learners actually care before building anything.

  • Layouts that handle long course titles

    The live preview shows immediately whether a title wraps badly, which is the failure mode nobody catches in a mockup.

  • PNG for sharing, PDF for keeping

    Learners post the PNG and file the PDF. Both come out watermark-free.

  • Course and completion designs

    A library built around completion rather than awards, which is the right register for a course.

  • No integration work to try it

    Nothing to build, deploy, or budget for while you're still deciding.

  • A clear upgrade path

    The same template library backs CertSeal's API, so moving from manual to automated doesn't mean redesigning.

Frequently asked questions

Questions

Can I automate certificate issuing on course completion?
Not with the free generator, which is a manual browser tool. CertSeal's REST API and webhooks issue on completion events, and Zapier covers it without code.
Can learners verify their certificate?
Only with a paid account. Verification URLs and QR codes are what make a certificate checkable by an employer, and they're the main reason EdTech products upgrade.
Can we white-label the certificate?
Not for free — logo, brand colours, and custom fonts require an account. The free tool edits the text on an existing design.
Is it usable for a paid course?
Yes. Commercial use is allowed, including for courses you charge for.
How many certificates can we issue?
10 an hour and 40 a day on the free tool. Past that, the answer is bulk generation or the API.

Need more than one at a time?

The moment certificates should fire on course completion rather than on someone remembering — that's a REST API and webhook job, not a browser tool.
