Diploma Template & Graduation Certificate Maker
Diplomas and graduation certificates mark the end of a stage of study. Traditional diplomas use a blackletter or engraved title, formal "hereby confers" wording, a seal and two signatures. This maker is for legitimate awards you are entitled to issue: your school, homeschool, club, course or a ceremonial keepsake. It is not for imitating another institution's credentials.

Questions people ask
Can I make a diploma for my homeschool graduate?
Yes. In most US states the parent or homeschool administrator issues the diploma. Use the school name you register under, the graduation date, and your signature. See the homeschool diploma page for wording.
Is it legal to make a fake diploma?
Using a diploma to misrepresent credentials you did not earn is fraud in many jurisdictions. CertifyFast is for awards you are entitled to issue, and we do not provide templates that copy real institutions.
What size is a diploma?
High-school diplomas are commonly 8.5×11 in or 11×14 in in the US; A4 elsewhere. This maker exports Letter and A4 at 300 DPI, which fits a standard diploma cover or frame.
