Save money on paper, materials, and printing

Sometimes, you may need to edit certificates after they have been issued. If a recipient asks for changes, like fixing a typo, you can do it quickly by adjusting the certificate design or updating the recipient’s info. Then, resend the corrected certificate to the recipient.

Edit already issued certificates and see changes live

When you edit a certificate you've already issued, the changes will show up immediately on the recipient's credential portal. This means that the recipient will be able to access the edited certificate with the same link they received in the initial email and the same QR code.

Access edited certificates with the same link or QR code

In some cases, like re-issuing a certificate to a recipient whose name was misspelled, you may need to resend them the updated certificate. You can quickly do this from Certifier's dashboard and ensure your recipient receives the correct certificate.

Resend edited certificates to your recipients

Choose the template that best suits your needs

Promote your brand’s name and image by customizing every credential you issue to match your brand identity. With Certifier’s straightforward and highly intuitive visual design builder, you can easily personalize every element of your certificate design - from text and <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/certificate-fonts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">certificate fonts</a> to colors, size, and position. By infusing your brand into your credentials, you naturally enhance brand awareness. Every time recipients or their connections see your credentials, your brand gains recognition.

Customize each element to match your branding

Magnify your brand's impact by seamlessly integrating your <a href="https://certifier.io/features/design/create-certificate-with-logo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">logo into your credential</a> design. With Certifier's user-friendly design tools, you can upload your logo into the design canvas and place it on your certificates, diplomas, and badges. By weaving your logo into your credentials, you create a consistent and recognizable image of your brand that not only adds professionalism and credibility to your credentials but also strengthens your online presence.

Incorporate your logo into your credential design

Personalizing your certificates with your own background, logo, or images can make them even more aligned with your brand identity. But to make it work, use high-quality images and logo files that don’t look blurry or pixelated. A low-quality image may damage not only the entire aesthetic but also the professionalism of your document. On the other hand, using crisp, high-res images will make your design look clean and professional.

Use high-quality images and files

Whenever you receive a change request from a recipient - for example, asking you to fix a typo in their name - react to it promptly. With Certifier, you can easily edit certificates even after they have been issued and swiftly correct any mistakes. Simply locate the recipient's certificate and make the necessary edits. Once done, your recipient will be able to see the changes reflected on their credential portal. You can also resend them the updated certificate.

Quickly react to certificate change requests

Certifier lets you edit <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/how-to-use-dynamic-attributes-to-create-and-send-certificates-in-bulk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dynamic certificate elements</a> with ease using the auto-resize feature. Each dynamic attribute you include on your certificate will be replaced with real recipient data once the certificate is issued and will adjust automatically to fit the updated content. This means you won’t have to edit each certificate manually, saving you time and ensuring your certificates look neat and professional for every single one of your recipients.

Edit dynamic elements with the auto-resize feature

By reviewing the final look of your document before issuing, you can ensure everything is perfect and avoid mistakes or design issues. The good news is you don’t need to do anything extra. Since Certifier's design builder is entirely visual, you'll be able to see how your <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/creating-a-modern-certificate-design-elements-for-success" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">certificate design</a> shapes with every change you make. However, make sure to give your design a final, careful look before sending it to your recipients to ensure you didn't miss anything during the design process.

Preview the look of your credential before issuing

Whenever you edit a certificate, your recipients can see the changes on their credential portal. However, in some cases, you may need to resend the edited certificate to a recipient. This ensures that your recipient has the most accurate and up-to-date version of their credential. It also demonstrates your readiness to solve any issues your recipients may have with their certificates and strengthens their trust in you as a certificate issuer.

Here, you can choose between two paths: selecting one of your existing designs or creating a new one from scratch.

Certifier allows you to edit every element of your design - from changing the text to uploading a custom background, adding your company logo, and adjusting the colors.&nbsp;<h3>4.1 Remove unnecessary graphic elements from the template</h3>Start customizing your certificate or badge design by eliminating any unwanted graphic elements from the template. Every template has a few placeholder elements that can be edited or removed. Select the items you don’t need and remove each one by clicking "Delete Element" from the right-hand corner menu. This will create more space for you to add your own graphic elements or move things around to adjust the design of your document to your needs. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1695628404/edit_certificate_online_step_4_1_min_f3248e8139.jpg" alt="edit-certificate-online-step-4.1"> <h3>4.2 Upload your own graphic elements</h3>To customize your document design further, upload your own visual elements directly from your computer. This can be anything from your logo and branded social media icons to images or custom shapes. To upload your elements, go to the "Elements" tab in the left-hand side menu and click "Upload Image." From there, select the file you want to use from your computer. Use a high-quality file with a transparent background for the best results. Once your graphic element is uploaded into the visual design builder, you can easily resize it and place it where you see fit. Keep in mind that Certifier accepts files in the PNG or JPG format of up to 2MB in size.<h3>4.3 Type the text that fits the purpose of your certificate</h3>Customize your chosen certificate or badge template to your needs by changing the <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/certificate-wording-examples" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">certificate wording</a> to say exactly what you want them to. To make changes, simply select the text you want to customize and click on the "Edit" button that will pop up above the text you've chosen. Then, you can simply type in the words you want to use.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>4.4 Edit the fonts to match your brand aesthetic</h3>Once you’ve typed the text you want to include on the document, head to the font settings. From there, choose the font that matches your branding. You can edit any part of the text - from its font and size to its weight (light, regular, or bold), alignment, and emphasis (italic or underlined). You can choose among 45+ of the most popular serif, sans serif, and decorative fonts.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1695628400/edit_certificate_online_step_4_4_min_4c45149006.jpg" alt="edit-certificate-online-step-4.4"> <h3>4.5 Adjust the design colors to match your branding</h3>Create a consistent and professional look for your certificate design by adjusting the colors of every element - from lines to text - to match your branding. To do this, select the text and other graphic elements you want to customize. Then, use the "Color" feature in the top menu to adjust the color of the selected elements. You can also upload a custom background in the "Background" tab for an even more customized look.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1695628398/edit_certificate_online_step_4_5_min_afa202f812.jpg" alt="edit-certificate-online-step-4.5"> <h3>4.6 Edit the dynamic attributes of your certificate design</h3>To complete your diploma design, include the recipient's details using dynamic attributes. With dynamic fields, you don't have to type in every recipient's details. This means that you can quickly issue multiple certificates, diplomas, and badges within minutes. You can insert names, grades, course titles, expiration dates, and more. Simply select the attributes you need, and Certifier will fill them with the recipient's information when issuing. Then, customize the appearance of each dynamic attribute by adjusting the font, style, and color of the text.&nbsp; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1695628400/edit_certificate_online_step_4_6_min_e8bdd22c22.jpg" alt="edit-certificate-online-step-4.6"> <h3>4.7 Edit the remaining graphic elements</h3>Before finalizing your certificate design, make sure that all visual elements, like lines and shapes, work well together and create a cohesive aesthetic. Should any item need adjusting, click on it to select it and edit its appearance by changing its size, color, and position. You can also remove unnecessary elements or upload missing ones.&nbsp; <h3>Step 5: Issue and send your certificate&nbsp;</h3>Once you’ve finished customizing your certificate, you’re ready to send it to your recipients. Finalize your design by clicking the "Create Certificate Design" button in the right-hand corner of the design canvas. To send it to your recipients, you must first create a group of recipients from the Groups tab. Then, go to the Credentials tab and click “Issue Certificate or Badge.” Follow the instructions on the screen to issue your certificate to your recipients’ group.&nbsp;&nbsp; <h3>Step 6: Edit the design even after issuing the certificate</h3>Sometimes, you may notice a mistake in your document only after you’ve already issued it. That’s why Certifier allows you to fix errors even after sending your credentials. All you need to do is go to your existing design in the Designs tab and click on the element you wish to change in the design canvas. Then, use the editing options to edit the text, fonts, colors, size, or position of the selected element. <h3>Step 7: Save and resend edited certificates</h3>After editing an already issued certificate, save it by clicking “Save” in the right-hand corner of the design canvas. The changes will appear live on the recipient’s credential portal. However, to make sure your recipient receives the updated certificate, you can resend it to them via email.&nbsp; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1695628405/edit_certificate_online_step_7_min_d2a1c76396.jpg" alt="edit-certificate-online-step-7">

Gain a competitive advantage

The simplest way to create, design and edit certificates online

Make your <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/creating-a-modern-certificate-design-elements-for-success" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">branded credential designs</a> look sharp by using a high-quality logo file. Make sure you upload a high-resolution logo into Certifier's visual design builder for optimal results. Using a crisp, high-res logo will make your document look clean and professional both on screen and in print. On the flip side, a low-quality logo might appear pixelated or blurry, leaving a less-than-stellar impression. We only accept files in PNG and JPG formats that are under 2MB.

Use a high-quality logo file

Maintain a consistent brand image throughout your document design by making sure all the colors and fonts you use match your branding. This will help you avoid creating visual dissonance with too many colors and fonts that don’t match your overall brand image. Inconsistent branding can lead to confusion and being perceived as unprofessional. Instead, stick to uniform branding and create certificates consistent with your overall brand aesthetics.

Keep your branding consistent

Putting your company logo on your certificates reinforces your brand. However, make sure to place it strategically on your credential design for a professional look. Opt for a placement where your logo is easy to see but doesn't overshadow other visual details and recipient information. An overly dominant logo can distract the viewers from the document's purpose. Achieve the right balance to ensure your logo is easily visible and adds a touch of professionalism to your design without overwhelming it.

Place your logo strategically

After adding your logo to your design canvas, make sure to resize it proportionally to the other elements of your design. Adjust it in a way that keeps its shape and doesn't make it look stretched or squished. A logo that's properly sized looks professional and clean. But if it's distorted, it can make your entire certificate look unprofessional. Make sure to get the sizing right so your logo fits well with the other elements of your design, maintaining a visual balance.

Resize the logo proportionally

For the best look, use a logo in a PNG format with a transparent background. A logo with a transparent background will fit with your certificate's background and will keep the design looking clean. However, if your logo has a solid background, it is likely to clash with the overall design and create a visual dissonance that looks unprofessional. Opt for a transparent background to give your certificate a polished and professional appearance.

Use a logo file with a transparent background

Make sure your logo goes well with the other parts of your document. Your logo should match the colors, fonts, and overall style of your design - or vice versa. When your logo fits in, it makes the certificate design look more cohesive and professional. But if your logo clashes with the rest, it can disrupt visual harmony. If you already have a consistent brand look, your logo, brand colors, <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/fonts-look-like-signatures" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">signatures</a> and fonts will look well together, creating a harmonious look.

Make sure it fits with other elements

Make sure you're using the most recent version of your logo that truly reflects your brand. An up-to-date logo demonstrates that your certificates are valid and come from a reliable source. Using an outdated logo could suggest that the credential is no longer valid, and it could hurt your brand's reputation. If you need to change the logo on already issued credentials due to a logo redesign or some other reason, you can do so easily with Certifier.

Keep your logo up-to-date

Refrain from using a logo design that's too complicated, colorful, or overpowering on your certificates. That's because a complicated logo might confuse people and make the certificate design look cluttered. Instead, choose a logo that's simple and easy to understand. A straightforward logo makes your certificates look clean and professional.

Avoid using a complicated logo design

Adjust the size

The <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/certificate-fonts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">credential fonts</a> you decide to select should be readable. Verify whether they are not too narrow or too small. In particular, this applies to critical information like names. Appropriate fonts will make your design look good. Also, you’ll avoid issues with the printed versions.

Select appropriate fonts

Verify whether there is enough contrast between text, logos, graphics, and the background. Doing that will allow you to craft really solid-looking certificates that will also look great once printed. Remember this step if you want to be satisfied with the printed certificates.

Balance the contrast

Don't place the elements too close to the edge. Keep in mind the bleed area (around 3 cm) - some certificate areas can be trimmed off during printing, so you want to avoid a situation when your important details disappear. In other words, remember to maintain a so-called “safe zone”!

Check the proportions

Include a QR code on your print designs to add an additional layer of verification. Such a code will be a nice redirection to a digital version of the certificate. Adding <a href="https://certifier.io/features/design/create-certificate-with-qr-code" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">QR codes</a> to your certificates or badges is a simple process when you use Certifier for this purpose.

Hundreds of people are using Certifier to create and print custom certificates - now is your turn

Print your certificates

Our platform eliminates the need to create certificates from the ground up. Choose from a variety of ready-made templates. Quickly edit texts, swap colors, and change images to suit your specific needs, all with just a few clicks.

Customizable templates library

With Certifier, you have so much flexibility that it's insane not to use it. You can customize every badge element – base, ribbon, and icon. Take care of every detail, and make your badge truly unique. How cool is that?

Control on every detail

Put an end to complicated design tools. With Certifier, it's all about dragging, dropping, and watching your badge come to life. It's so easy that anyone can do it, no design skills needed!

Quick and easy design process

Got a big group and need badges for everyone? No problem. Certifier lets you whip up hundreds of custom badges in no time, each one personalized for its recipient. It's a time-saver, especially for big events or programs.

Badge generation in bulk

Once your badges are ready, Certifier streamlines the distribution process. Upload your recipients’ data from the spreadsheet, and customize the email template. Then, send out badges in bulk via email. Automation is simple!

Seamless distribution

With Certifier, you can see how your badges are performing. Track who's sharing them on social media and who doesn’t even open the email. This info can give you great insights into what's working and what might need a tweak or two.

Engagement tracking

Outstanding digital badge designs tailored to your needs 

Selecting the right badge template is your first step toward a memorable badge. Pick a design that aligns with your brand's aesthetic – sharp and edgy for modern brands, soft and rounded for more approachable vibes. You don’t have to focus on template colors, you can change them afterward.

Start with the right badge template

Less is often more when it comes to impactful design. Remove any unnecessary elements to create a cleaner, more focused badge. Your key message will stand out, making your badge more memorable. Do not mess with the <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/certificate-fonts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">certificate fonts</a> and icons, as well. Trust us: to decorate your badge design, one (or two) elements are enough.

Simplify your design

Here’s a pro tip. Upload your logo in the SVG format to match the badge colors to your brand palette. With Certifier, you can change every element of the badge, no matter if it’s a template or built from scratch. No need to get hung up on the original template colors – make them your own.

Upload your company’s logo

<a href="https://certifier.io/blog/badge-design-ideas-online-course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Badges</a> are best when you remember them even after you close your eyes. Icons can be this highlight that shows right away what the badge refers to. Choose icons that reflect the badge's achievement or skill level. Such elements add depth and context to your badge so that they’re more than just a visual token.

Add context with unique icons

Skill, level, or achievement are the key badge elements. The text on your badge should communicate them clearly. Make this text short. A badge's elements, such as the recipient's name, better suit to certificates. Badges should be more generic and convey their purpose at a glance.

Focus on key text elements

Personalize badges to make them more impactful. With Certifier, you can customize badge design with dynamic attributes like levels to make each badge feel special. It means you can create even hundreds of badges at once without having to worry if the content fits the recipient.

Use dynamic content to personalize
