💡 How to use the Certificate Generator?
🎨 Certificate Background
Choose a base color – solid or with a subtle gradient. This is the “wallpaper” behind the whole project – it doesn’t affect the frames or icons.
🖼️ Frame
Give your certificate some style — pick a frame you like. All of them fit the layout, so you can’t really choose “wrong”. You can also remove the frame completely.
🧵 Texture
Give the surface of your certificate the look of handmade, technical, or woven paper.
Remember: this is only a graphic effect. The print won’t be embossed.
💡 Pro tip: you’ll get the best result if you print a textured design on structured paper.
🖌️ Style (background image)
You can add a subtle background image.
This won’t change the frame, fonts, or colors – it works independently.
At any time you can remove the image style and return to a clean version.
🅰️ Title
Here you can change the font and color of the certificate title.
💡 After each change you’ll return to the editor. To apply both (font + color), select one option, then return to the “Title” tab and select the other.
🔤 Main Text
Here you can change the font and color of the main text.
Just like in the “Title” tab, changes are applied one at a time. After choosing an option and automatically returning to the editor, go back to “Text” to pick the next one.
⚠️ Note: changes will only show if you enter your own content.
🎖️ Icons
Add an icon that emphasizes the style of your certificate.
Types of icons:
- First row: classic rosettes
- Second row: thematic symbols
- Third row: hobbies
- Fourth row: occasions
- Fifth row: competitions
💡 If you feel none of the icons match your idea, you can remove it with the “Remove icon” option.
🖥️ Preview / Editor
At any time you can return to the preview/editor window by choosing “Editor” from the sidebar. Until you refresh the page, the script will remember your settings and typed text, no matter what options you clicked.
⚠️ Note: after choosing a visual option in the tabs, the script will automatically take you back to the preview/editor to show the changes live.
📥 Downloading the final file
When your certificate is ready, simply click the Ready! Download PDF button.
⚠️ Note: If something goes wrong, don’t worry. There’s no limit to how many PDFs you can download. Even after generating and downloading, you can make changes and save a new version.
