Choose the Layout for Your PDF Certificates
Customize how your recipients receive their certificates in PDF format. Each PDF includes the certificate image along with all verifiable details for authenticity.
With Virtualbadge.io, you can issue verifiable digital certificates in one click. Recipients can easily share their certificates on social media or download them as PDFs.
The PDF certificate is the most comprehensive version, containing both the designed certificate image and its associated metadata, ensuring credibility and verification.
Metadata Included in PDF Certificates:
- Recipient’s name
- Course name
- Issuer’s name
- Issuer’s website URL
- Issue date
- Expiration date (if applicable)
- Validation URL
- Validation QR code
How to Change the Certificate Layout
- Go to Manage Organisation in your account dashboard.
- Under Organisation Settings, find the Certificate Layout option.
- Choose between Single-Page or Multi-Page PDF formats.
Single-Page vs. Multi-Page Certificates
1. Single-Page Certificates
- The certificate image and metadata appear on the same page.
- Ideal for compact, all-in-one verification.
2. Multi-Page Certificates
- The first page displays only the certificate image.
- Additional pages contain metadata and verification details.
Important Notes
- Certificate layout is applied at the account level (same layout for all courses under one account).
- Recipients can also download just the certificate image without validation details if preferred.
- After receiving the access code via email, recipients can choose between the full PDF version or the certificate image.
This setup ensures a seamless experience for both issuers and recipients, maintaining credibility while offering flexibility.
