Creating certificate templates

A template is a background image plus positioned fields. Design the background in any tool (Canva works well), leaving the name area blank, and export it as an image.

Create a template

  1. Go to Certificate Generator → Templates → Add New.
  2. Upload your certificate background image (PNG or JPG, A4 landscape recommended).
  3. Use the field position editor to drag Name, Certificate Type, School and Date onto the canvas — up to 15 custom field slots per certificate type.
  4. Set font, size and colour for each field.
  5. Click Preview to get a sample PDF with field boundaries and position markers.
  6. Click Save Template.

How templates are matched

Each recipient's certificate type is matched against the template name. If no match is found, the default template is used.

Editing a template only affects future PDFs; already-generated certificates are not regenerated.

Custom fonts

On the Business plan you can upload a .ttf font (a script font for names, for example) and select it for any field.
