From a list of names to a stack of certificates
Paste one name per line, or copy rows from a spreadsheet with a Name column, and every person gets their own page in one PDF, ready to print. Long names shrink to fit the line, and the preview arrows let you check each one before you save.
Personal details on each certificate
With spreadsheet rows, any column can be used in the title, the reason or the other text by writing its name in curly brackets, such as for completing {{Course}} with {{Score}}. A Date column replaces the date for that person. This works the same way as mail merge.
Your colours, logo and signature
Choose a style and a colour, and add your logo as a PNG or JPG. If you have saved your brand colour, logo and signature in Your Snowkit, they are one click away. Classic and Bright add a round seal with your organisation’s initials.
Tips for good certificates
- Proofread every name. A misspelt name on a certificate is hard to forgive.
- Keep the reason to a short sentence so it sits neatly on the page.
- Print a single page first on plain paper to check the margins.
- Use thick paper or card for awards that will be handed out.
- Use a logo with a transparent background so it blends into the design.

Questions
How many certificates can I make at once?
Large lists work. Each person gets a page in the same PDF, though very big lists take longer on a phone.
Can each certificate say something different?
Yes. Put the details in spreadsheet columns and use their names in curly brackets in the text.
Are the names uploaded?
No. Everything is made in your browser.
