Step 01: Create a free Certifier account

Once you're in, a few quick questions will tailor the experience to your needs. Your badge generation journey begins here – get on our website and try out Certifier for free!

Step 02: Get on with badge design

Go to the Designs tab in the Certifier digital badge generator to start with your own design. Hit the Create Design button and select Badge Design.

Here is where your vision begins to take shape. Our library is stocked with professional badge templates tailored to your unique style. Choose one of our badge designs or build one from scratch with our base, ribbons, and icons – both ways are super intuitive.

Each element of your badge (whether it’s a badge design template or not) can be tailored to fit your brand. Change colors and fonts, and remove and add elements with our drag-and-drop option. As long as you’re 100% satisfied with the result.

Pro tip: Looking to make your badge stand out? Use high-quality images and keep the text clear and minimal. This way, your badges will look professional and catch the eye easily.

Want to personalize each badge with specific content? (optional)

One of Certifier's standout features is the ability to add dynamic attributes to your own badge.

It means you can insert placeholders for unique information like department names, which will be automatically filled for each recipient based on the data you upload. The system eliminates manual work and guarantees that each badge is accurate and personalized.

Don’t forget to adjust the dynamic attribute formatting to the badge design. Also, enable auto-scaling to change the section’s size to the attribute content automatically. What is it for? Each department name is different: some are longer, others – shorter. As a result, your badge will always look good.

Step 03: Save the design and upload the recipients’ data

As soon as you click the blue button at the top right corner that says Save, the Certifier digital badge creator will guide you to upload the recipients' data.

You can generate badges in bulk in two ways:

• upload the spreadsheet with names and emails (Certifier supports CSV, XLS, and XLSX formats) – you can either export your spreadsheet from where your recipient data reside or create it from scratch

• via automation (integration) – you can generate badges in bulk by integrating our badge generation tool and the software you’re using via Zapier or our API. Perfect if you’d like to generate badges in bulk fully without much of your involvement.

Most of our users are using tools to manage their employees/students/people to whom they want to send badges in bulk. They can easily export their data from the LMSs, video conferencing tools, CRMs, employee management platforms, etc. (depending on what they’re using). It’s a faster and error-free method.

Step 04: Generate badges with a click

Once you click the Add Recipients button, Certifier will generate badges. Now, you can download badges in PDF or send them out automatically.

Before you mark all recipients and hit Publish or Export, take a moment to preview your badges. Achieving the perfect look requires this step. Adjustments? No problem. Certifier makes it easy to tweak your badges until they’re perfect for you.

Ready to export? Certifier allows you to export links to all badges in one CSV file. Once you select this option, all badges will land in one spreadsheet from which you can manage them further. You can also save all badges in a PDF file.

Ready to send out? Click the Publish button. Your badge can land in the recipients’ inboxes in seconds (or you can schedule the date and time for badge distribution).

Your attendees get emails with badges with the link to the recipient’s wallet. The best part? From one dashboard, you can track who opens and shares badges or which emails bounce.

Pro tip: At this point, you can decide on what’s best for your strategy. Emails remain unopened? Try sending a reminder follow-up. Messages get bounced? Deliver them again. Certifier has all the functions you need to send these emails.

Want to take the full potential of digital badges in bulk?

The saving step will automatically create a group related to the particular digital badge design. If you want to, you can add skill tags at a group level. It offers the opportunity to highlight and prominently display the specific skills in the recipient’s wallet.

The process is fairly straightforward. Go to the Groups tab. You can choose the existing group or create a new one. Add skill tags. The dropdown list will provide you with a variety of options. Once you’re ready, click the Save button.

Check out how the skills tags look in the recipient’s wallet view. Cool, right?

Certifier’s digital wallet is super accessible. You can set it up so that it displays in multiple languages for easier navigation.

Please note: The recipients’ wallet is their main dashboard. They will be able to point out and report any mistakes you may have made directly from their wallets. That way, you can quickly and easily fix them using Certifier’s real-time updates without starting over (and sending badges again). Updates will show up automatically.
