About this tool
A graduation certificate, worded and laid out before you start. The heading is set to "Certificate of Graduation" and the citation to "has successfully fulfilled all academic requirements and is hereby recognised as a graduate", across seventy landscape designs (fifty premium ones for this type plus twenty classic frames) and a set of premium portrait designs, which you can switch between without retyping anything. Add your logo, a seal, drawn or typed signatures and a QR code, or fill a whole class from an Excel sheet. A graduation certificate is a keepsake and a record at once. The institution name, the programme and the year of graduation are what make it a record; the design is what makes it a keepsake. Built for schools, colleges and training academies, for when a student graduates and the class is celebrated. It is normally signed by the principal or dean, often with the registrar alongside, and once printed it tends to end up framed at home and photographed on graduation day, then kept with the transcript. Type the name, pick a design and a colourway, and download a print-ready file - or paste a whole list of names and generate every certificate in one pass. The whole thing runs locally. No account, no watermark, and no recipient list leaving your computer.

Key features
- Five colourways per design, plus a custom colour if none of them fit.
- Wording already written for when a student graduates and the class is celebrated.
- Thirty designs made for graduation certificates - ten of them premium layouts with foil badges and the occasion's own emblem - not one generic frame recoloured.
- Your logo and two signature lines, positioned properly on the page.
- Free, no signup, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded.
- Batch mode - paste a list of names and generate all of them at once.
Common uses
- Making something that will be framed at home and photographed on graduation day, then kept with the transcript.
- Replacing a word-processor template that never quite lines up when printed.
- Schools, colleges and training academies issuing certificates at the end of a programme.
- Keeping recipient names off third-party servers where that matters.
- Producing a full set for a cohort in one afternoon rather than one at a time.
Tips for better results
- Generate the batch, then open the last file rather than the first. Mistakes cluster at the end of a list.
- Export at the largest size offered if the certificate is going to be framed.
- Remember where this ends up: framed at home and photographed on graduation day, then kept with the transcript. That is the audience to design for, not the person handing it over.
- Print on 160gsm or heavier. Certificate designs look thin on ordinary copier paper, and the difference is obvious in the hand.
Mistakes to avoid
- Leaving out the programme or the year. "Graduate" alone does not say of what, or when - the two things anyone reading it later will ask.
- Leaving the sample recipient name in place on one certificate in a batch.
- Dating the certificate the day you made it rather than the day the thing happened.
- Choosing a dark colourway and then printing it - it drains ink and reads worse than a light design with a strong border.
Frequently asked questions
Pick one of the seventy landscape or premium portrait designs on this page, type the name and the wording, then download. It is already worded for this type, so most people change only the name and the date.
A heading - "Certificate of Graduation" - then a presenting line, the recipient name, a citation saying what it is for, the date, and one or two signatures. All of that is pre-filled here and editable.

Yes. Paste your list of names into batch mode and it produces one certificate per name, downloadable as a ZIP. The design and wording stay identical across the set.
Yes - a logo plus up to two signature lines. The logo sits in the header area and scales to fit whichever design you have chosen.
No. The certificate is drawn and exported entirely in your browser, so names never leave your device. That matters for student and employee records.
