Can I Upload My Own Certificate Design?

If you already have a certificate background image that has been beautifully designed and branded, you absolutely can.

Before Uploading Your Certificate Design

Ensure that the image you want to upload is the correct size and orientation for the certificate design you are using. Our article to help you with this is here: Recommended Certificate Background Image Sizes.

Important: Don't be tempted to upload a massive background image because you think the added number of pixels will make your certificate look better. The truth is there won't be much of a difference in image quality, your certificates will always take longer to load onto any webpage, and you run the risk of the PDF render crashing and failing if your recipient wants to download their certificate. Trust us on this one; it's not worth it.


To upload the image, go to the 'Document' tab and, using the 'Upload New Image' button, select the image you wish to use. 



Uploading Your Own Design

  1. Click on 'Designs' at the top of your Accredible Dashboard
  2. Click on the 'Create Certificate Design' button at the top right-hand corner of the page. This will open the Certificate Designer.
  3. Click on the 'Document' tab in the left-hand sidebar menu.
  4. Use the 'Upload New Image' button to upload the background image of your choice.
