Question
What file format should I use for certificate paper designs?
Answer
PDF is the gold standard for certificate printing because it locks in your fonts, colors, and layout across different systems.
- Export a high-resolution PDF at 300 DPI.
- Embed all fonts so nothing reflows or substitutes.
- Include bleed if your design runs to the edge of the sheet.
PDF works well for both professional printing and desktop printing, so your certificate prints the way it looks on screen.
