What CertLeaf is
CertLeaf is a web platform for creating, issuing, managing, and verifying digital certificates. Issuers can upload a certificate background and place reusable recipient fields, signatures, dates, IDs, and QR codes. CSV import supports bulk generation for recipient lists. Completed certificates are emailed, while recipient details, downloads, certificate IDs, and delivery status remain in one workspace. QR-verifiable certificates include public proof pages where recipients and third parties can check certificate details. A simple certificate consumes one credit; a QR-verifiable certificate consumes two when issued. New users receive 20 one-time welcome credits for evaluation, although the terms say this bonus may change or end. CertLeaf uses prepaid credit packs without a monthly subscription, and credits do not expire while the account remains active. Listed plans range from Starter at $2.08, paid once for 100 credits to Scale at $155.85, paid once for 10,000 credits; discounted prices are also shown with an end date of September 30, 2026. PDF export and support contacts are available.
