How it works
- 1Open the Design studio and pick a starting point, or tap Surprise me.
- 2Add layers: gradients, waves, shapes, stars, confetti or your own logo and artwork. Drag to move, change colours and opacity.
- 3Apply, edit the text, and download — or save it to My designs to reuse later.
Layers, like a design app
Every background is a stack of layers you can reorder, hide, duplicate and fine-tune. Upload PNG graphics (transparency is kept) and place them anywhere.
Your text stays put
The studio only changes the background. Your names, titles, signatures and logos keep their places, so you can restyle a certificate without redoing it.
Saved in your browser
Save a design to My designs and it appears next time you choose a design, ready for another event or a whole list of names.
Let AI surprise you
Tap Surprise me for a fresh background and a new type style in one go, or Restyle text to try new fonts and layouts on your current background. Text stays readable automatically: light on dark areas, dark on light ones.
Text shadows that print
Add a soft, hard or glowing shadow to any text. It looks the same on screen, in the PDF and in PNG, JPG or SVG downloads.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the background later?
Yes. Open the Design studio again and every layer is still there to change.
Where are My designs stored?
Only in this browser (IndexedDB). They are not uploaded, so they will not appear on another device or after clearing site data.
Is CertSend really free?
Yes. Designing, making and downloading certificates is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Paid extras like verification links and automatic email sending are coming later, and the free maker stays free.
Are my names and files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser: the design, your list of people and the PDFs never leave your device. Your work is saved only in this browser so you can come back to it.
Can I use my own design or logo?
Yes. Upload your own background (PNG or JPG), or build one in the Design studio from gradients, waves, shapes, stars and your own graphics. Add your logo and signatures, and change every text, font, colour and shadow.
