Best practices to make a certificate online
Choose size and orientation
Decide on the layout that best suits your purpose. For formal certificates like degrees, a portrait orientation may be ideal. For casual events, such as attendance certificates, landscape orientation could be a better fit. Think of it as choosing the perfect frame – it should complement, not complicate.
Organize layout with guidelines
Use our layout guidelines to align elements and create a natural flow. Similar to setting up dominoes, everything should fall perfectly into place, guiding the eye smoothly from one element to the next. Create certificate online that corresponds to key graphic design principles for a flawless final result.
Use auto-resizable fields
Our text boxes automatically adjust in size, expanding or contracting based on the content. An extremely useful feature to fit long names or other information without compromising the design. Generate certificates in bulk with longer certificate IDs or recipient names, and keep your layout clean and professional.
Upload branded elements
Personalize your certificates by adding your logo and brand colors – even with our free plan. Make certificates online that aligns with your brand identity. With branded design, each time someone shares their certificate, it’s an effortless way to increase brand exposure.
React quickly to design inquiries
Spotted a typo? Certifier allows recipients to report design issues directly from a digital wallet. You make quick fixes from the dashboard. Once updated, the corrected certificate automatically refreshes, so there's no need to resend it. All for a seamless customer experience.
Preview your design with filled data
Before finalizing, review your certificate design with all details in place to verify everything looks correct. This preview step helps catch and resolve any visual conflicts, such as text overlapping with background elements. We've made this process fast and efficient to guarantee a flawless design before publishing.
