For the layout, upload a single-page PDF template. For the recipient list, we support Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV (.csv) tables.

Once you upload your files, you will see a visual preview of your certificate template. Click on any spreadsheet column name to add it as a text label, then drag it to your desired position.
