Certificate maker FAQ

What is the standard certificate size?

What should I include in an award certificate?

An award certificate should include the name of the award, the organization granting the award, and a very brief description of the award’s purpose. Some certificates also list the names of authority figures who oversee the award and the name of the recipient. However, for certificates that are frequently awarded, it’s often beneficial to leave a blank line for the name of the recipient so that it can be handwritten or printed at a later date.

What file formats can I download my certificates in?

Certificates are available to download in popular image formats, such as PNG, JPG, and PDF.

Is Picsart’s certificate maker free to use?

Yes! You can use Picsart’s certificate editor free to create awards and other types of certificates. Some tools and content may require a subscription, but the editor includes a variety of free tools and certificate templates available at no charge.

How to create my own certificate template?

Make your own certificate template by opening the Picsart photo editor and using the blank canvas. You can also select Resize on the left sidebar and either choose a pre-defined canvas size or enter dimensions for a custom size. Choose an image from the Background or Photos category to use as a backdrop of your design. Add elements such as text boxes, shapes, and stickers to personalize the design, and rearrange them until you’re satisfied. Then, save the design to use as a template.
