How to create a digital badge design?
Ready to make digital badges in a matter of minutes? Forget the hassle and let your creativity lead the way. A few clicks are all it takes to craft memorable badges that bring the attention they deserve.
Step 1: Join Certifier for free
Sign up to Certifier for free. The email address and password are enough to start. Verify your email with the code, answer a few questions, and our badge maker tool is ready to help you. Trust us – it doesn't require any learning.
Step 2: Create a new badge design
Once you’re logged in, look for the blue “Create Design” button. Choose Badge Design – it will directly lead you to the built-in badge editor.
Step 3: Choose the badge template
On the left side of the builder, you get customizable badge templates that you can use to create your own badges. Find the one that suits you best and just click on it. Don’t pay too much attention to their colors – you can change each element of its design along the way.
We highly suggest starting with templates – they're crafted by professionals who know just how to give them that polished, expert look. However, if you're set on creating a badge from the ground up, that's totally possible too. Simply pick your base, ribbon, and icon from our library and drag and drop them into place.
Step 4: Remove any unnecessary elements (if needed)
There may be some elements in the badge template that you don't like. It's no problem at all. To delete an element, click on it and then click the trash icon. You can always undo your move by clicking on the arrow in the upper right corner.
Step 5: Customize colors and icons
Now it’s time for customization and making your badge yours. The Certifier design builder gives you many possibilities. You can tailor each element of your badge. To suit your style, you can adjust, add, or remove elements. You can also upload your own images (SVG, JPEG, PNG).
Step 6: Upload your logo
Upload your company's logo to make the badge align with your branding. It’s best to choose SVG format to edit the colors within the editor. To upload the logo, go to the Images tab and click on the “Upload Image” button. You can also simply drag the image into the tool to add it.
Step 7: Add dynamic attributes
Certifier also enables you to add dynamic content that automatically adjusts based on recipient data. For example, if your badge requires a unique ID number, simply insert a dynamic attribute, and it will be filled with the specific information for each recipient. No manual work here!
Step 8: Save and send out
That’s all. The process is pretty straightforward, right? To save the template, click the blue “Save” button at the top right. Then, upload the recipients' data and generate badges for them in bulk. Remember that with Certifier, you can always keep the finger on the pulse and track how your badges are doing. Within a single dashboard, you can download, send, and track badges. See on your own!

Tips to get branded badges that stick in mind
Start with the right badge template
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.
Simplify your design
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 certificate fonts and icons, as well. Trust us: to decorate your badge design, one (or two) elements are enough.
Upload your company’s logo
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.
Add context with unique icons
Badges 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.
Focus on key text elements
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.
Use dynamic content to personalize
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.
