Free online certificate generator & award maker
This free certificate generator and certificate maker lets teachers, trainers, employers, course creators and event organizers design a professional certificate of achievement, certificate of completion, certificate of appreciation, participation certificate or award certificate in minutes. Start from a ready-made certificate template, edit every line of text, add your logo, one or two signatures and a premium seal, then choose colors, a page border and a background design to match your brand.
When you are done, download a pixel-accurate PDF or a high-resolution PNG image, or print it directly. Need many at once? Bulk generation turns a list of names into a single multi-page PDF, and every certificate can carry a unique certificate ID and QR code that anyone can verify. It works as an editable certificate template, a diploma maker and a custom certificate creator — all in your browser.
Everything is generated on your own device, so recipient names, logos and signatures are never uploaded. Need more paperwork tools? Try the Invoice Generator, the QR Code Generator or the PDF Editor — you can also password-protect a PDF, convert an image to another format, or remove a photo background before adding it to your certificate.
