Open a gift certificate template or a blank document in Create, then upload any relevant graphics you’d like to add to the design. For example, this could be your brand logo or an illustration that pertains to your business. Whether you’re working in a blank document or a template you can change the color palette as many times as you want until you find the perfect combination. Be sure to leave space for your business info and the perks or prizes that the gift certificate awards. Once you’re happy with the design, export to print or share via email and/or social media.

How do I make a gift certificate?

Start designing your award certificate by opening a blank document or free certificate template in Create. Upload any images or graphics you want to add, such as your brand logo or your signature. If you’re using a template you can leave the colors as-is, or you can tweak them to match your branding or another color palette entirely. Include a line or two of copy explaining what award the certificate is for as well as who the recipient is (the latter can be a blank line for you to handwrite a name on later). When you finish adding and moving elements and you’re satisfied with the color scheme, export to print or share digitally.

How do I make an award certificate?

If you’re printing your certificate at home, just download from the Create editor as a JPG or PNG (Pro subscribers can also download as a PDF). Open the downloaded certificate and go to “File” at the top of the screen. Select print—it’s as easy as that. If you want to dial it up a notch, most office supply stores will carry foiled and embossed certificate paper for you to print on. If you need to print certificates in large quantities, these same office supply stores can often accept print orders, as can commercial printers and some mail services.
