Why Automate Certificate Generation?
Whether you're running an online course, hosting events, or recognizing achievements, manually creating certificates for each recipient is time-consuming and error-prone.
With Templated, you design your certificate template once, then generate personalized certificates automatically. Connect to your LMS, event platform, or CRM, and certificates are created and delivered instantly when participants complete a course or earn an achievement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I generate certificates as PDFs?
Yes! Templated supports PDF output with high DPI for print-quality certificates. You can also generate PNG, JPG, or WebP for digital use. Multi-page PDF certificates are supported as well.
How do I add signatures to certificates?
Upload signature images as layers in your template. You can have multiple signatures (e.g., instructor and director) and position them exactly where needed. Signatures remain constant while recipient details change.
Can I add unique certificate IDs or QR codes?
Absolutely. Add a text layer for certificate IDs and pass a unique ID via the API. For QR codes, use our QR code layer type and pass the verification URL—the QR code is generated automatically.
How do I connect to my LMS (Teachable, Thinkific)?
Use our Zapier or Make integrations. Set up a trigger for 'Course Completed' in your LMS, then add a Templated action to generate the certificate. The certificate URL can be emailed directly to the student.
Can I bulk generate certificates from a spreadsheet?
Yes! Upload an Excel or CSV file with recipient data, map columns to template layers, and generate all certificates at once. Perfect for retroactively issuing certificates or one-time batch generation.
Is there a free tier for testing?
Yes! Sign up and get 50 free API credits to test certificate generation. No credit card required. This is enough to fully test your workflow before committing to a paid plan.
