What is the Certificate Generator?

The Certificate Generator is a free, browser-based tool that lets you design and download professional-quality certificates in seconds. Whether you need a certificate of completion, achievement, appreciation, or attendance, you can customise every detail — recipient name, course, date, and issuer — and get a polished result ready to print or share digitally.

Choose from 9 unique templates covering styles from classic and academic to modern and corporate. Personalise the accent colour, border style, font, and add your own organisation logo. All processing happens entirely in your browser.

How to create a certificate

1
Pick a template — click any of the 9 thumbnails to preview it instantly on the canvas.
2
Choose a style — set orientation, border type, accent colour, and font.
3
Upload a logo (optional) — click the logo zone to add your organisation's image to the certificate.
4
Fill in the details — enter the recipient name, course or achievement, issuer, and date.
5
Download — PDF for print, PNG for transparency, or JPG for a compact image.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this certificate generator completely free?
Yes — 100% free, with no watermarks, no download limits, and no account required.
What download formats are available?
PDF (A4, print-ready), PNG (transparent background, lossless), and JPG (white background, smaller file size).
Can I add my organisation's logo?
Yes. Click the logo upload zone and choose any PNG, JPG, or SVG. It appears centered at the top of the certificate.
Does portrait orientation scale fonts correctly?
Yes. Font sizes are based on the shorter page dimension, so switching between landscape and portrait keeps text proportionally the same size.
Is my data sent to any server?
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing you type or upload ever leaves your device.

Logic & Algorithm

Templates are defined as SVG or HTML with placeholder slots. Dynamic text is injected into the template's DOM. The final result is rendered to a <canvas> using html2canvas or SVG serialisation, then embedded into a PDF page via pdf-lib's PDFDocument.embedPng() API.
