Advanced Customization

6. Further customize your certificate by toggling on "Advanced Customization." 

Advanced customization of certificates is available under Paid Plans only.

  • Bold, italicize, and change text size
  • Edit certificate title, body, and footer text
  • Certificates, badges, logo and images.

Consider inputting the variable's full name and/or username. This will ensure you know to whom the certificate is awarded! Updating these settings will not alter the certificate once earned and generated.
