Certificate generation software: one template, thousands of branded certificates
Whether it's training completion, professional certification or course attendance, generating certificates one-at-a-time burns hours every week. Paperless generates branded, multilingual certificates from a CSV, API call or LMS event - thousands at a time, with optional QR-code verification.
Why certificate workflows are painful
- Certificates designed in Canva, then manually personalised for each recipient.
- Multiple language versions maintained as parallel files that drift.
- No central record of who got which certificate, when.
- QR verification means yet another manual step per certificate.
- When a new course launches, the design starts from scratch.

- Visually designed certificate templates - locked to your brand.
