Overview

What is a Certificate Generator?

A certificate generator is a tool that lets you create professional, customizable certificates for any occasion. Whether you need certificates for course completions, employee awards, event attendance, or academic achievements, a certificate generator streamlines the process from design to download. Instead of spending hours in graphic design software, you can select a template, fill in the details, and generate a print-ready certificate in seconds.

Bulk + Delivered

Bulk Certificate Generator for Events: Delivered, Not Downloaded

Generating 300 certificates was never the hard part. Getting 300 certificates into 300 inboxes before the deadline is. Every other path stops one step short of the send:

Sheets add-ons

Autocrat rides Apps Script (6-minute cap) and your Gmail quota, and broke across its 81M-install base in June 2026. →

Canva Bulk Create

Makes beautiful variants, then stops at download. No email delivery of any kind; the zip file is your problem. →

Mail merge

Word can't attach the file. Gmail caps at 500–1,500 a day and locks you out mid-batch. →

A Pictify workflow run does the whole job: upload the attendee CSV, every row renders its own certificate, and every certificate emails itself to its recipient from an isolated sending domain. You watch delivered / bounced / suppressed per person, and re-send any single row with a corrected address. That's the difference between "sent" and "delivered".

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this certificate generator really free?
Yes, pick a template, fill in the details, and download a high-resolution PNG free, no signup required. A free account adds bulk generation, PDF output, and email delivery via workflows.
Can I customize the certificate design?
Yes. The form fields update the recipient name, organization, date, and achievement text live in the preview. Every template is plain HTML and CSS under the hood, so with a free account you can edit the template code directly, or describe the design you want and let the AI Template Maker write it.
What formats can I download certificates in?
This free tool generates high-quality PNG images at 1920x1080 resolution. With a free account, the API and workflows also render certificates as PDF (including multi-page), JPG, and WebP.
Can I bulk generate certificates for events or training programs?
Yes! Pictify works as a bulk certificate generator for events, training programs, and courses. Upload a CSV in a workflow (one row per attendee) and every row renders its own certificate. Or use the API to batch generate up to 500 certificates per call. Perfect for course completions, event attendance, and employee recognition programs.
Can I email certificates to recipients automatically?
Yes, this is what makes Pictify different from other certificate makers. A workflow run renders each row's certificate AND emails it to that recipient from an isolated sending domain (not your Gmail, so no 500/day cap). The run screen shows delivered, bounced, or suppressed per person, and a bounced address can be corrected and re-sent as a single row.
Can I generate certificates from Google Sheets?
Export your Sheet as CSV and upload it to a workflow; columns map to certificate variables in the wizard. Unlike Sheets add-ons such as Autocrat, the merge runs on managed infrastructure (no Apps Script 6-minute timeouts) and delivery never touches your Gmail quota.
Can my LMS or form tool trigger certificates automatically?
Yes. Every workflow exposes a signed webhook. Point your LMS completion event, Typeform, or a Zapier/Make/n8n flow at it and each payload renders and delivers one certificate, with the same per-recipient status tracking as a CSV run.
Can I add my company logo?
Yes. In a workflow, templates are HTML: drop an <img> tag with your logo URL anywhere in the design, or upload it as a brand asset. Because templates are code, there is no limit on layout, fonts, or imagery.
Are the generated certificates printable?
Yes, certificates are generated at 1920x1080 pixels which provides excellent print quality for standard certificate sizes. For best results, print on high-quality paper or card stock.
Templates

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.

Free Online

Use Our Online Certificate Maker for Free

Pictify's online certificate maker runs entirely in your browser: no downloads, no installs, no signup. The certificate maker supports a real-time preview that updates as you type, and high-resolution PNG export at 1920×1080.

Every template here is plain HTML and CSS, the same template a Pictify workflow renders at scale. Connect a CSV, webhook, Zapier, or Make.com flow and each row becomes its own certificate, emailed to its recipient. That's the difference between a one-off certificate generator and a programmable certificate builder: the fast free tool today, delivery-grade automation when you're ready to scale.
