EZdoc AI Certificate Maker

Overview

EZdoc AI Certificate Maker turns a plain-language description into a certificate that can be edited in a browser or produced in batches. It is best suited to organizations issuing branded certificates from recipient lists, rather than people who need only a one-off design. Its strongest case is the combination of batch workflows and a paid-plan API; the free plan is useful for trying the process but tightly capped for ongoing use.

Key features

EZdoc says it can create a print-ready PDF in about 30 seconds from a plain-language prompt. The live preview changes as fields are edited, giving users a chance to refine the certificate before downloading. Fourteen templates and AI variations cover occasions such as graduation, training, achievement, internships and volunteer recognition. That is a reasonable starting selection, though users who want a much larger catalog need Starter or above, which includes a 260+ template library.

For batch creation, users can upload a CSV roster; paid workflows also accept Excel, Google Sheets or HubSpot data. Results can go by email or Google Drive, while SFTP delivery is limited to Growth and Scale. These options make EZdoc a stronger fit for repeat issuance within an existing process than for occasional manual certificate making. Paid plans include REST API access, with higher hourly request limits on Growth and Scale.

Users can add an SVG or image logo and specify brand colors, including by hex code. Downloads are described as PDF, webpage and image formats, with standard letter or A4 landscape layouts. The certificate page offers QR code support. EZdoc states that it uses TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, lets users choose generated-file retention from one hour to seven days, and does not sell or share user data or train AI on it. Support emails go directly to founder Jason Dorn, who says he is the company's only employee.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed $0 /forever. It allows 25 copies per month, three designs over the lifetime of the plan, and CSV and XLSX upload, with creation, previewing, editing and refinement. The certificate page also offers three free generations without a credit card. This is enough to assess the workflow, but the lifetime design cap and small stated recipient limit of 10 recipients make it a poor choice for a sustained program.

One-time credits cost $3, paid once, billed $3. They unlock downloads once and never expire, making them the lower-commitment route for occasional use; they do not provide the recurring quotas or integrations of a monthly plan.

Starter costs $19 a month, billed $19 /mo, and includes 1,000 copies per month, eight designs per month, the 260+ template library, REST API access, Google Sheets and recipient email delivery. It suits smaller recurring programs that need an API or spreadsheet-based workflow. Growth is $49 a month, billed $49 /mo, for 5,000 copies and 18 designs per month, SFTP delivery and 5,000 API requests per hour. Scale costs $99 a month, billed $99 /mo, and raises those quotas to 20,000 copies and 40 designs per month, with custom branding and 10,000 API requests per hour. Those higher tiers make sense when volume or delivery requirements justify the added monthly cost; occasional issuers are better served by the free plan or one-time credits.

Platforms

EZdoc is available on the web and through an API. Browser editing is part of the certificate workflow, while the REST API is included with paid plans.

Who it's for

Training program managers, schools and registrars, HR and compliance teams, course creators, bootcamps, nonprofits and volunteer coordinators are natural fits when they need to issue personalized certificates repeatedly. Individuals or small groups can use it for a limited run, but the free design cap and paid monthly copy quotas are less attractive for sporadic needs.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Batch generation and spreadsheet or CRM inputs on paid plans reduce manual work for recurring certificate runs.
• Pros: Live editing, brand assets and multiple output formats allow teams to refine and distribute certificates without relying on a single PDF download path.
• Pros: Paid API access and SFTP on higher tiers give teams options for connecting issuance to existing workflows.
• Cons: The free plan's three lifetime designs and 25 monthly copies are restrictive for ongoing programs.
• Cons: SFTP is reserved for Growth and Scale, so teams needing that delivery method must pay at least $49 a month.
• Cons: Starter's 1,000-copy and eight-design monthly quotas may not suit larger programs.

Alternatives

MailMergic is worth considering when document mail merge across macOS or Windows matters; its Always-Free plan allows 25 documents per month for one user but adds watermarks, while Pro costs $39 a year for 1,000 documents per month.

Berlvis Credentials is a web-based alternative with a free watermarked studio plan and a paid ID Cards plan at 5,000 NGN a month that includes unlimited ID card templates and generation.

Certhive is another web-based certificate option, described by its maker as a side project.

CertificatesMaker is a web-based option advertised as free forever with no limitations and no credit card requirement.

Certifier may suit teams looking for a credentials platform with a free starter tier of up to 250 credentials per year, one user, five templates and three forms.

CertifyLink is a web alternative whose free plan allows up to four certificates and two events, with QR code verification and bulk generation.

Certopus is an option for organizations considering self-hosted or API access, with a free starter tier of 250 credentials, two events and one limited seat.

Sertifier may be a better fit for teams prioritizing a free allowance of up to 25 recipients, unlimited credentials and core integrations.

Verdict

Choose EZdoc if your organization needs editable, branded certificates at recurring volume and values CSV-based batch creation, paid API access or multiple delivery routes. The free plan is a sensible way to try it, but its lifetime design cap is not a durable production tier. Look elsewhere if you need a no-cost long-term tool, or if your volume and integrations do not justify a monthly plan.
