Certificate templates + the Template Designer

/dashboard/templates lists every certificate template in your workspace. Click any to edit; clone the platform templates as starting points. Drag fields, set fonts, attach a signature image — there's no separate PDF render path.

Dynamic fields

• {name} — recipient's full name
• {course} — course title
• {date} — issue date, locale-formatted
• {score} — final score for graded courses
• {id} — verifiable certificate ID

Dynamic fields are filled in at issue time, so one template serves every recipient — you never duplicate a design per student. Type a field token anywhere on the canvas and it renders the real value on each issued certificate.

Design your own in the Template Designer

Start from a blank canvas or clone one of the 17 starters, then make it yours: drag and position fields, choose fonts (including cursive script for names and titles), set colours to match your brand, add a background or border, and drop in a real signature image. A live preview shows exactly what a recipient will get — there's no separate PDF render step to second-guess.

Tips

• Clone a starter first — it already has the fields positioned, so you only restyle.
• Keep the recipient name field large and use a script font; it's the part people screenshot and share.
• Add your signature image once and reuse the template across every course.
• Preview with a long name to make sure nothing overflows the canvas.

Common questions

• Can I have different templates per course? Yes — pick the template when you issue, so each course or batch can use its own design.
• Do edits affect already-issued certificates? No. Issued certificates keep the design they were rendered with; template edits apply to future issues.
• Is there a size limit on the signature image? Use a transparent PNG for the cleanest result; large images are scaled to fit the field.
