FAQ

Our files are delivered in compressed zip format which contain multiple files, usually the certificate template and the documentation file. Once the ZIP file downloaded, you first need to extract the files using your operating system’s unzip program or any ZIP extractor utility such as Winzip, Winrar…

We recommend you to carefully read the detailed documentation as it contains instructions and provides links to the fonts being used in the template which we suggest to install if you want your certificate to look the same as in the preview.

Microsoft Word (2007 or higher) is required to open and edit the template. Just click on the text placeholders and replace the text with your own content.

Before opening the template you should download and install the fonts listed in the documentation.

We follow the standard US letter for most of our templates. The dimensions are 8.5 x 11.0 inches for the regular certificate templates.

As for the gift templates, the size is 8.5 x 4.0 inches.

Majority of printers (both personal and commercial) use this traditional paper size.

The free version includes a small watermark and is in medium resolution (up to 150 DPI) while the premium version does not include a watermark and is in high resolution (300 DPI).

Some home printers cannot print on edges, this is a common known limitation. For a professional printing, you might consider using the services of a local print shop near you.

Reselling is strictly prohibited. You are free to use these templates for your own personal/professional use but not for commercial resale. Please read our detailed licensing page for more information.
