Getting started

CertKit turns a published template and recipient data into a permanent verification page, PNG, and PDF.

1. Create and verify your account

Sign up, confirm your email, and finish the workspace profile. The workspace name becomes the issuer name shown on verification pages.

2. Publish a template

Open Templates, choose a starter, edit the sample data, preview the real render, and publish. Issued certificates always point to an immutable published version.

3. Issue a certificate

Open Issue, choose the published template, enter the recipient name and fields, then submit. Email is optional unless SMTP delivery is selected.

4. Test verification

Open the certificate details and follow its verification URL. Test the PNG, PDF, QR code, and revocation controls before issuing to real recipients.
