Certificates are downloaded as high-quality PDFs at 300 DPI resolution, perfect for professional printing. You can choose between Letter size (8.5" x 11") or A4 size (210mm x 297mm) depending on your region.

No watermarks ever! All certificates are clean and professional. You have full rights to use, print, and distribute the certificates you create. No attribution or branding required.

Yes! All certificates are exported as high-quality PDFs (300 DPI) in Letter or A4 size, perfect for professional printing. You can print at home on your own printer or send the PDF to a professional print shop.

For best results, use certificate paper (24-32 lb weight) with a smooth or linen finish. You can find certificate paper at office supply stores. Regular printer paper (20 lb) works too, but thicker paper looks more professional.

For best print quality, set your printer to "High Quality" or "Best" mode. Use color printing even for certificates with minimal color. Make sure "Fit to Page" is disabled to maintain the exact size. Select the correct paper size (Letter or A4) to match your downloaded PDF.

PDFs are meant to be final documents, so editing after download is limited. If you need to make changes, it's best to return to the CertifyFast editor, make your edits there, and download a new PDF. For professional PDF editing, you would need specialized software like Adobe Acrobat.

We accept JPG, PNG, and SVG image formats for logos and signatures. PNG is recommended for logos with transparent backgrounds. Maximum file size is 2MB per image. For best quality, use high-resolution images (300 DPI or higher).

Use our Batch Generator feature! Upload a CSV file with recipient names and details, choose a template, and generate hundreds of certificates in seconds. Perfect for teachers issuing class certificates or HR departments recognizing multiple employees.

Your CSV file should have columns for: recipient name, achievement/course description, date, and any other custom fields. The first row should be column headers. You can download a sample CSV template from the Batch Generator page.

No hard limit! You can generate as many certificates as you need. However, for very large batches (500+), we recommend breaking them into smaller chunks for better browser performance.

Yes! CertifyFast works on tablets and smartphones. However, for the best experience creating and editing certificates, we recommend using a desktop or laptop computer with a larger screen.

Your certificate history is saved locally in your browser using IndexedDB. It stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. If you clear your browser data, your history will be deleted.
