Enter the recipient name, achievement title, issuing organization, and pick a style (formal, modern, creative, elegant or gold). The AI generates a 300 DPI landscape or portrait certificate with border, seal placement, and typography — print-ready PDF or PNG.
Yes — each certificate costs ~1,000 tokens from your daily free pool (2,500 guest, 10,000 signed-up). No watermark, no subscription, no trial limits. Print as many as your daily pool covers.
Default is 8.5x11 in landscape (US Letter) — compatible with most home and office printers. Portrait also supported. For A4 (Europe / Asia), rescale the downloaded PNG in any image tool before printing.
SDXL renders decorative seals as part of the design. For a real corporate logo or accreditation seal, generate the certificate, then overlay the PNG logo in Canva, Affinity, or Adobe Express — typical workflow for schools and companies.
Canva ($12.99/mo) and SmartDraw ($9.95/mo) ship certificate templates you fill in. Free.ai generates original layouts from your inputs — unique design per recipient, not a template thousands of others also use. No subscription.
Achievement, academic, professional development, training completion, award, participation, recognition, and honorary certificates all render well. Formal style works for diplomas; modern or creative for bootcamps, workshops, and community awards.
Yes — submit once per recipient, or call the API with a list of names to batch-produce. Teachers and HR teams automate via POST /v1/image/generate/ with a CSV loop. Each certificate deducts ~1,000 tokens from your pool.
Download the PNG at default 1024x1024, upscale to 3300x2550 at 300 DPI for 11x8.5 inch print. Most home inkjets handle it directly. For bulk (50+) printing, upload the PNG to FedEx Office, Staples, or a local print shop.
The AI can include a signature line placeholder. For a scanned real signature, generate the certificate, then overlay the PNG of your signature in Canva or Acrobat. Popular for principals, CEOs, and course instructors.
Certificates confer recognition; the underlying accreditation (school, training body, company) is what makes them "official". Use Free.ai to design, then have the issuing authority sign and seal. No certificate design — Canva, Word, or AI — is "legally valid" by itself.
Yes — the Style chip drives overall feel (formal gold border, modern clean, creative bold). For finer control (specific font, exact color hex), describe it in the Title field or regenerate with tweaked inputs. SDXL responds to style cues well.
Yes — POST to /v1/image/generate/ with tool=design-certificate, billed at ~1,000 tokens each. Schools, training platforms, and HR systems integrate it for automated cohort certification. Full API docs and code samples at /api/.
