Frequently asked questions

Is this attendance certificate generator completely free?
Yes. No account, no credit card, no email address required. Generate and download as many certificates as you need. Each certificate carries a small "Powered by OneTap · onetapcheckin.com" line in the footer, which is how we support the tool.
How does bulk generation work?
Switch to Bulk mode (the default), paste up to 200 names one per line, fill in the certificate details, and click "Download all". Each person gets their own PNG named certificate-firstname-lastname.png. Files download with a small stagger so your browser does not block them — most browsers will ask you to allow multiple downloads the first time.
Can I add my school logo and colors?
Yes. Use Step 3 to upload your logo (PNG, JPG or SVG) and pick your school or brand colour. Both appear on the certificate in the live preview and in every downloaded PNG.
Can I use this for CLE or bar association compliance?
Select the CLE/CPE Credit Certificate type and enter your credit hours; they appear prominently on the certificate. The layout includes issuer, date, authorized signer and title fields that most licensing bodies require. Verify your specific bar association or board requirements before distributing.
What file format do certificates download as?
High-resolution PNG at A4 landscape (1056 × 748 px, rendered at 2× for print quality). PNG works for digital distribution and prints cleanly at standard A4 or letter size.
What is the difference between certificate types?
Each type changes the wording on the certificate body. Attendance says "has attended". Completion says "has successfully completed". CLE/CPE says "has completed" and shows credit hours. Volunteer says "has completed volunteer service with". The layout is identical; only the phrasing changes.
How does OneTap connect to these certificates?
OneTap is the digital attendance platform that built this free tool. When you use OneTap for QR attendance, the platform generates timestamped, audit-ready attendance records that back up the certificates you issue here. The forever free plan covers 100 profiles permanently.

These certificates prove attendance. OneTap proves it digitally.
