Frequently Asked Questions

This tool generates four types of certificates: Achievement (for recognizing accomplishments), Completion (for course or program completion), Appreciation (for thanking volunteers or contributors), and Award (for presenting honors or prizes). Each type has appropriate wording and design elements.

Yes, you can choose from multiple template styles including Classic (traditional serif fonts with ornate borders), Modern (clean sans-serif with minimalist design), Elegant (script fonts with decorative elements), and Corporate (professional business look). You can also customize colors, border styles, and typography.

You have two options for signatures: type a name that will be rendered in a script font, or upload an image file of an actual signature (PNG or JPG with transparent background works best). You can add multiple signatures for co-signers or different roles.

Certificates can be downloaded as high-resolution PNG images (suitable for printing up to 11x8.5 inches at 300 DPI) or PDF files (vector-based for crisp printing at any size). Both formats are print-ready and maintain professional quality.

Yes, certificates are generated at print resolution (2400x1800 pixels for PNG, vector for PDF) and use proper margins. For best results, print on certificate paper or heavy cardstock (110 lb or higher). The landscape orientation fits standard 11x8.5 inch paper.

The tool saves your last-used settings in your browser's local storage, including organization name, signature, and style preferences. This makes it easy to generate multiple certificates with consistent branding without re-entering information each time.

Recipient names support up to 50 characters, achievement descriptions up to 100 characters, and organization names up to 60 characters. The layout automatically adjusts font sizes to fit longer text while maintaining readability and visual balance.

Yes, the color theme picker lets you choose from preset professional color schemes (Gold & Navy, Burgundy & Gold, Forest Green, Royal Blue, Purple & Silver) or use custom colors. Colors affect borders, accents, and decorative elements while maintaining text readability.

Yes, once the page loads, all certificate generation happens in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. No internet connection is required, and no data is sent to any server. Your certificate designs and personal information remain completely private.

Simply change the recipient name and achievement description for each person, then download. Since your settings are preserved, you can quickly generate dozens of certificates with consistent formatting. Consider using the batch naming feature if generating many similar certificates.
