Worldwide Certificate Maker

About this plugin

Certificate Maker is a layout design tool for schools, training providers, study-abroad applications, alumni keepsakes and graphic design work. It breaks "what a certificate looks like" into adjustable parameters: paper size, page margin, title and name typefaces, body leading, border pattern, crest, seal style, security guilloche and paper grain. All of them update the preview instantly. The plugin ships with 1194 layouts covering graduation certificates, degree certificates and certificates of completion across one hundred and ninety-nine countries and regions: China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Italy, Spain, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Portugal, Türkiye, India, Singapore, the UAE, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, New Zealand, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Greece, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Nigeria and Kenya, among 199 countries and regions. Each layout is rendered in one of six visual styles - classic, ornate, modern and minimal - so you can reach a tidy, well-layered certificate draft in a few seconds. Every element is drawn with canvas vector commands, so scaling and exporting never introduce bitmap stretching or jagged edges.

What it can do

• 1194 built-in templates across 199 countries and regions filterable by certificate type and by country or region; selecting one applies its palette, border, crest and sample copy in a single click.
• Text content, size, letter spacing, line height and vertical offset are individually adjustable, while the title and the recipient name can each switch between serif, sans, script and display typefaces.
• Six border patterns are available - double line, triple line, laurel, art deco, geometric fret and none - with independent control over line weight, color and inset.
• Guilloche security patterns are generated live from parametric equations, and can be layered with foil, emboss, microtext, UV, a holographic patch and a security thread; a 3 mm bleed file with corner crop marks is exportable for plate-making.
• Crests can be uploaded (PNG/JPG, auto-fitted, opacity adjustable) or picked from 23 built-in motifs; seals support circular ring text, circular star, square name seal and wax seal, with editable ring text, center text, size, position, rotation and opacity.
• One-click export at 150, 300 or 600 DPI as PNG, JPG, WebP or a PDF with an embedded image, optionally merging a transcript page into a two-page PDF or long image; the file name is yours to set, and the whole configuration can be exported as reusable JSON.

How to use it

1. In the template library, choose the certificate type first, then the country or region, and click a template chip to select it.
2. Fill in the institution, recipient, program, degree, date and certificate number; the body field supports multiple lines and wraps automatically.
3. Fine-tune type size, letter spacing, line height and vertical offsets in the layout panel until the spacing feels right.
4. Pick a border, a crest and corner ornaments, then balance paper grain and guilloche strength to set the printed character of the sheet.
5. Adjust the seal and signatures, choose a format and DPI, then download. Export the JSON configuration whenever you want to reuse the layout.

Please note

• Sample output only: this plugin produces layout drafts. They carry no academic, degree or completion validity and must never be used to impersonate a real institution.
• Institution details: school names, crests and seals in the templates are placeholders and do not represent any real institution; replace them with your own details for legitimate use.
• Font dependency: script and display faces come from fonts installed on the device, so rendering may differ slightly across machines. Trust the local preview before exporting.
• Printing: export at 300 DPI or above and print at 1:1 against the real paper size to avoid margin distortion caused by scaling.
• Saved data: favorites and recent templates are stored in this browser. Switching devices or clearing the cache means selecting templates again.
