Certificate Templates: Choose from 5 Free Designs

Every certificate template works for any certificate type — award, achievement, completion, participation, or appreciation. Pick a design that matches your brand and customize the title, recipient name, date, and achievement text. All templates are free and come with commercial-use rights.

Certificate of Achievement Template

Recognize outstanding accomplishments with a formal certificate of achievement. The Elegant template, with gold borders and serif typography, is our most popular certificate of achievement template — ideal for awards ceremonies, academic honors, and sales milestones.

Certificate of Completion Template

Issue a certificate of completion for courses, training programs, workshops, and onboarding. The Modern Dark template gives completion certificates a sleek, contemporary feel that reads well on-screen and in print.

Certificate of Participation Template

Acknowledge attendance and engagement with a certificate of participation. The Corporate template's navy header and formal layout make it the right certificate of participation template for conferences, webinars, and corporate events.

Award Certificate Template

Celebrate winners and honorees with a bold award certificate. The Creative template — coral accents and playful geometry — works well for employee-of-the-month awards, tournament winners, and community recognition.

Certificate of Appreciation Template

Thank volunteers, partners, and team members with a certificate of appreciation. The Minimalist template's generous whitespace and refined typography puts the focus on the recipient — a perfect certificate of appreciation template for donor recognition and retirement gifts.
