💡 Certificate Best Practices

1. Use High-Quality Images

Upload logos and signatures at minimum 300 DPI for best print quality. PNG with transparent background works best.

2. Keep Design Professional

Stick to 2-3 complementary colors, use readable fonts, and maintain adequate white space. Less is more.

3. Include Key Information

Always include: recipient name, achievement/course name, date, issuing organization, and authorized signature.

4. Test Before Bulk Generation

Generate a sample batch of 5-10 certificates first to check for formatting issues, typos, or data mapping errors.

5. Enable Verification

Add QR codes or verification links to make certificates tamper-proof and easily verifiable by employers or institutions.
