Printing notes
- Use actual size or 100 percent scale in the print dialog so the certificate border stays inside the printable area.
- PDF and PNG export use the same SVG certificate preview, including borders, backgrounds, decorations, and line breaks.
- Batch mode only creates local multi-page PDF output from pasted names. It does not create accounts, databases, email sends, certificate verification, or public hosting.
- For official diplomas, licenses, qualifications, notarized papers, legal certificates, or verified credentials, use the issuing institution's official process instead.

Certificate Generator FAQ
Practical answers about printable certificates, batch mode, privacy, and boundaries.
Is this Certificate Generator free and does it require an account?
Yes. The Certificate Generator is free to use and does not require sign-up. You can type certificate text, preview it, print it, and download PDF or PNG files directly in your browser.
Can the Certificate Generator make award, achievement, appreciation, completion, participation, student, employee, competition, sports, volunteer, and training certificates?
Yes. Those certificate types are handled by one Certificate Generator page through the certificate type menu and template library. They share the same printable layout logic and only change wording, style, and defaults.
Why are Award Certificate Generator and Certificate of Completion Generator not separate pages?
They are merged into this Certificate Generator because they use the same core fields: title, recipient, achievement wording, issuer, date, signer, style, and export. The certificate type and template library cover the differences without duplicating pages.
Does the Certificate Generator support batch certificates?
Yes, for light local batches. Paste one recipient per line, or use Name | Achievement to customize each page. The Certificate Generator creates one page per line in the PDF. It does not store names in a database or send email.
Are Certificate Generator names and achievements uploaded?
No. The Certificate Generator renders certificates locally in your browser. It does not need a server, account system, Google Sheets sync, email service, public hosting, or API automation for the printable output.
Can I use this Certificate Generator for official diplomas, licenses, verified credentials, or legal certificates?
No. This Certificate Generator is for informal printable recognition certificates only. Do not use it for official diplomas, licenses, qualifications, notarized certificates, government or school certification, legal certificates, blockchain credentials, or verified digital credential management.
Do PDF PNG and print outputs match the Certificate Generator preview?
Yes. The preview, PDF, PNG, and print output all use the same SVG certificate page, so borders, colors, decorations, centered text, line breaks, and safe margins stay consistent.
