questions, answered.
Ready to try it with your own list?
Open the certificate templateHow do I make certificates from Excel or CSV?
Open the certificate template, upload your Excel or CSV file, and connect each column to its matching text field. Use one row per recipient. Preview the names, courses, and dates, then export your personalized PDF certificates.
Can I edit the certificate design?
Yes. The sample opens as an editable landscape layout with connected example data. Change the wording, fonts, colors, and organization name, or add your own logo in the editor. Check longer names in the preview before exporting.
Can I use my own certificate background?
Yes. Import a one-page PDF design into the editor, then place text fields over it and connect them to spreadsheet columns. This lets you keep your existing certificate design while personalizing the recipient details.
Can I generate certificates in bulk?
Yes. LinkoPDF reuses your layout for the rows in your spreadsheet, replacing the linked fields for each recipient. Review a few records before generating the batch. Export limits depend on your plan.
What should my certificate spreadsheet contain?
The sample includes Recipient Name, Program, Award Title, Completion Date, Signer, and Organization. Keep the first row for column names and use one row per certificate. Enter dates as you want them printed; you can rename or add columns and reconnect them in the editor.
Can I try the certificate template before choosing a plan?
You can open this sample in the editor and customize it before choosing a plan. Check the pricing page for current export limits and account requirements. The sample CSV is available to download directly from this page.
