Bulk Certificate Generator

Certificate design

Choose how you want to work. You can replace names on a completed certificate, or keep a blank template separate from a styled example.

Completed certificate Upload one finished example. Click the sample name or date and replace them from Excel — the same idea as Canva Bulk Create, in your browser. Blank template + example Upload a blank certificate for generation, plus a completed example only for styling.

Drop the completed certificate PDF, PNG or JPG. Click the example values after you add Excel data.

No certificate uploaded yet.

Setup name

Connect data

Click an example value on the certificate, such as a name or one specific date. Only the values you select will change. Other dates stay as they are.

If the certificate is an image with no selectable text, drag a box around the name or date.

Selected field

Field name

Label in the list only — change it here. Type and Excel column are separate.

Formatting source Match Reference Certificate Custom Formatting

Copies font, size and colour from the completed example. Date fields use the footer date; name fields use the script name.

Auto-fit long text (shrink only if needed)

Minimum font size

Download certificates

Upload a blank template, a reference certificate, a spreadsheet and at least one mapped field to generate.

File naming pattern

Output format

Resolution

PDF pages use the real paper size (A4, Letter, and so on). A 2480 × 3508 certificate prints at 300 DPI — Canva PNG and PDF Standard are often 96 DPI.
