Design a certificate on a canvas
Build a certificate from text, images, shapes, QR codes, and recipient Attributes, then preview it with real data before issuing.
Most event teams start with a Canva or Word file, export a PDF, and then edit the same file once per recipient. The design is finished; the personalisation is not. A misspelt name or a changed sponsor logo means opening the file again.
The Template editor replaces that loop with a certificate canvas.
What you can build
Add text, images, shapes, and a QR code, then position and style each element on the canvas. Recipient-specific values are inserted as Attributes, so the name, college, team, track, or award is filled in at issue time rather than typed into a static file. Layers, grouping, and alignment controls keep repeated structures intact.
Open a certificate and choose Design, then Edit Design. The canvas holds the layout; the recipient list holds the data.
Where it helps
A fest can keep one layout across participation, winner, and volunteer certificates while changing the wording and colours. A university department can place the institution mark and signature once, then reuse the structure for each programme. A training provider can add a cohort or completion date as an Attribute without duplicating the design.
What it does not do
The editor does not decide who receives a certificate. It designs the record; the recipient list and the issue action decide who gets one. Designing and importing do not spend credits. Issuing a certificate does.
