Tip: add the kind you need, such as ‘certificate of completion’, ‘employee of the month’ or ‘gift certificate’, to the search box above.

How to

Use a certificate template in Google Docs

  1. Open the template from the results above.
  2. Choose File > Make a copy to get an editable copy in your own Google Drive. If the file only opens for viewing, paste its link into our Google Drive link tool and use the "Make a copy" link it gives you.
  3. Change the name, the reason, the date and the signature lines. Keep the fonts and the layout as they are, so the certificate still looks right when printed.
  4. To print it or send it, choose File > Download > PDF document.

Certificates made in Google Slides work the same way. To print one, check the page size under File > Page setup first: certificates are usually landscape A4 or US Letter.

Only to make an editable copy. You can open a public template and download it as PDF or Word without signing in.

Can I make one certificate for each person on a list?

Make one copy of the template, fill it in for the first person and download it as PDF, then change the name and download the next one. For long lists, a mail merge add-on for Google Docs can fill the names in from a Google Sheet.

Can I use these templates for my school or business?

Each template belongs to whoever shared it. Most are shared to be reused, but check the file for a note about its license before you use it commercially. See our disclaimer.
