Certificate
A certificate for each name on a list, numbered and coded
It runs entirely in this browser tab: what you paste is never uploaded, and what comes out is SVG source rather than an image file — text, which stays sharp at any size and can be edited.

How to use it
- Paste your text into the box above, or open a file.
- Adjust the settings beside it until the result is what you wanted.
- Copy the result, or save it as a file. The result updates as you type.
Questions
- Is what I paste uploaded anywhere?
- No. The whole application is carried as WebAssembly and runs on your own device. That matters most for the tools that take a list of people: a guest list, an attendee list and a set of certificate names are all things you would think twice about pasting into a website.
- Why is there no PNG or JPEG?
- Because nothing in this workspace ships or produces a binary asset, and because for these twenty-six the vector is simply better: it stays sharp at any size, it is a fraction of the bytes, it can be opened and edited, and a print shop would rather have it. Every browser and every design tool opens an SVG.
- Will it print at the right size?
- It says the right size: every printable sheet states its width and height in millimetres, and the arithmetic behind it is exact rather than approximate. What no file can control is the printer, so tell it to print at actual size rather than to fit the page — and the graph paper draws a hundred-millimetre bar so you can check.
- Can I use what comes out commercially?
- Yes. What comes out is a drawing made from numbers you supplied. Nothing here adds a mark, a watermark or a line of attribution to it, and there is nothing to sign up for.
