Create & Send Certificates in 60 Seconds
Pick a template. Add your details. Send. That's it. See how it works.
Why people switch from Canva and Photoshop
Making certificates by hand works fine until about the fortieth one. Here is what changes.
Doing it by hand
- Hours wasted designing each certificate in Photoshop or Canva
- Manual entry leads to typos and inconsistent formatting
- Recipients can't verify authenticity - anyone can fake a PDF
- Emailing certificates individually takes forever
- No tracking of who received or viewed certificates
With IssueBadge
- A finished certificate in about 60 seconds, from a template
- Upload a spreadsheet and get thousands back, every one formatted the same
- A QR code and a public verification page on every certificate
- One click emails all of them
- See who has opened theirs and who has not
Built for issuing certificates, not designing posters
Canva is a design tool. This is an online certificate maker, built for issuing. The difference shows up on the day you have 400 to send.
Sixty seconds per certificate
Pick a template, type the name and the date, send. There is no design work unless you want to do some.
Verification built in
Every certificate carries a QR code and a unique URL. Anyone can check it is real without contacting you.
Bulk from a spreadsheet
Upload a CSV with 10,000 rows and get 10,000 certificates back, each one personalised and formatted the same.
Your brand, your design
Your logo, your colours, your own background. If you already have a certificate as a PDF, upload it and use that.
Emails itself
One click sends every certificate to its recipient, from our servers or your own SMTP, and you can see who opened theirs.
API and integrations
Canvas and Moodle through LTI 1.3, Okta single sign-on, Zapier, Make, a REST API and webhooks.
Who uses it
Anyone who has to hand out more certificates than they can make by hand.
Educational Institutions
Universities and schools issue graduation, course completion and academic award certificates, thousands at a time, straight from Canvas or Moodle.

HR teams issue compliance training, onboarding and professional development certificates, and keep a record of who got what.

Questions people ask before they sign up
Short answers. Email support@issuebadge.com if yours is not here.
What is an online certificate maker?
A web tool that turns a template and a list of names into finished certificates, with no design software. IssueBadge also handles what comes after the design: emailing each certificate, giving every one a QR code and a verification page, and keeping the record of who was issued what.
How long does it take?
About 60 seconds for one certificate: pick a template, type the details, send. For a batch, upload a spreadsheet with names and emails and the whole list goes out at once. A few hundred take minutes.
Is it free?
You get 50 free credits when you sign up, with no card and no expiring trial. After that, Pro is $14.99 a month or $149.99 a year for one organization and 1,000 badges a month, and lifetime plans start at $99.99. Nonprofits can email us for a discount.
Can recipients verify their certificates?
Yes. Every certificate has a QR code and a unique URL. Scan or click and you land on a public page showing the certificate, who issued it and whether it has been revoked. Nobody has to log in.
Does it work with the systems I already use?
Canvas and Moodle install it natively as an LTI 1.3 tool. Zapier and Make connect it to Teachable, Thinkific, Google Forms, Eventbrite and a few thousand other apps. There is a REST API and webhooks for anything custom, and Okta single sign-on for your team.
Why not just use Canva or Photoshop?
For one certificate, do. For a hundred, you will spend the afternoon renaming files and attaching them to emails, and none of them can be verified. IssueBadge does the personalising, sending, tracking and verification, which is the part design tools leave to you.
