Frequently asked questions

What should a certificate of authenticity include?

The artist or maker name, title of the work, medium, dimensions, year, edition number (for prints), a unique certificate number and a signature. All of these are editable fields here.

What size is a certificate of authenticity?

Most certificates are printed on US Letter (11 × 8.5 inches) in landscape. A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm) is the standard outside the US. You can also choose portrait, a 8.5 × 3.5 inch gift certificate, a 7 × 5 card, or type any custom size — the PDF page is made at exactly that size.

What paper should I print certificates on?

Use 65–110 lb card stock or parchment paper for a premium feel. In your print dialog choose 'Actual size' (100%) and the highest quality setting. Most home inkjet and laser printers handle 65–80 lb card stock.

Is this certificate of authenticity free?

Yes — 100% free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limits. Edit in your browser and download as many PDFs or PNGs as you need.

Can I add my logo and a signature?

Yes. Upload your logo (PNG with a transparent background looks best) and fill in up to two signature names and titles. Sign by hand after printing, or print and scan a signature.
