A PDF proves nothing. A record does.
Anyone can edit a PDF or a screenshot. A CertPie certificate points to the issuer's own record, so an edit shows. Try it: change the name on this certificate, then scan it.

Questions

What is CertPie?
CertPie is a certificate management platform. Design a template, bulk-generate personalized certificates from a spreadsheet, and deliver them with built-in QR verification.
Is CertPie free to use?
Yes. The free plan includes 30 certificates a month with no time limit. Pro (₹999/month) and Business (₹2,499/month) remove the watermark and raise your monthly limit.
How does bulk certificate generation work?
Upload a CSV or Excel file, map its columns to your template's placeholders, and CertPie generates every certificate in one batch.
Can recipients verify their certificates?
Yes. Every certificate includes a QR code linking to a public verification page confirming who issued it, when, and that it's authentic.
Can I use my own branding on certificates?
Yes, on Pro and Business plans. Add your logo, brand colors, and signature, and remove the CertPie watermark.
What templates are available?
CertPie includes system templates you can use as-is or duplicate to customize, plus the option to design your own from scratch or import a background image.
Can my team use CertPie together?
Yes. Pro plans support up to 3 team members, and Business plans support up to 10. Invite teammates to your organization, and everyone can create templates, generate certificates, and manage batches from one shared workspace.
How do recipients receive their certificates?
By email, with the certificate attached as a PDF and their verification link included, or you can export a ZIP and deliver them yourself.
Is my data secure?
Certificate and recipient data is encrypted and access-controlled per workspace.
Do recipients need an account to verify a certificate?
No. The QR code opens a public page that shows the issuer, the recipient, the date and the certificate number. No account or app is needed.
Can I use CertPie outside India?
Yes. CertPie works for institutions and recipients anywhere, and a certificate can be verified from any country on any phone. Plans are priced in Indian rupees for Indian customers and US dollars for international customers; either way, international cards work.
Do I need design skills to use CertPie?
No prior design experience is required. The editor is drag-and-drop, and system templates are ready to use immediately.
What is QR code certificate verification?
QR code certificate verification is a way to prove a certificate is genuine: a QR code printed on the certificate links to a public page showing who issued it, to whom, and when. Anyone can scan it with a phone camera to confirm the certificate is real, without contacting the issuer.
What's the difference between a certificate of completion and a certificate of participation?
A certificate of completion confirms someone finished a course or program, often after meeting a requirement like attendance or a passing grade. A certificate of participation confirms attendance at an event, workshop or activity, with no completion requirement.
How much does a bulk certificate generator cost?
CertPie's free plan generates up to 30 certificates a month at no cost. Paid plans start at ₹999 a month (₹799 a month billed yearly) for 500 certificates a month, or ₹2,499 a month for unlimited certificates. International customers are billed the equivalent in US dollars. Certificate credit packs are also available with no subscription.
What file formats can I upload to generate certificates in bulk?
CertPie accepts CSV and Excel (.xlsx, .xls) files. Each row becomes one certificate: map your file's columns (name, email, course, date, and so on) to the placeholders on your template, and CertPie generates every certificate in one batch.
How long does it take to generate hundreds of certificates?
CertPie renders certificates in concurrent chunks rather than one at a time, so a batch of hundreds finishes in one automated run instead of a long manual process, and each certificate is QR-verified as it's created.
