.csv → .pdfFor teachers, organizers, clubs, and busy teams

Make certificates, badges, and cards from a spreadsheet without mail merge

Start with an Excel or Google Sheet, choose a certificate, badge, card, or label template, preview real rows, and download polished PDFs your way. No formulas, design software, or technical setup.

The old way

Stop copy-pasting names one by one.

Personalizing a stack of documents by hand is slow, error-prone, and mind-numbing. You shouldn't have to duplicate the same design 200 times.

Typing each recipient's name into a certificate
Editing event badges and ID-style cards one at a time
Duplicating the same design over and over
Fighting a clunky mail-merge just to export PDFs

How it works

From spreadsheet to finished PDFs.

A guided flow for people who need the output, not another complicated design tool.

1Excel · Sheets

Export your spreadsheet

Save your Excel or Google Sheet as a CSV. Each row is one student, guest, attendee, member, or label.

Check real rows, catch long text, then download your personalized PDFs in one file.

Spreadsheet to finished PDFs

A practical checklist for non-technical teams.

Perfect for teachers making awards, event organizers printing badges, student clubs preparing passes, and office teams producing cards or labels.

You only need two things: a spreadsheet and a design with blank spaces.
1

Make one clean sheet

Put one person, guest, student, member, or item on each row. Use simple column names like Name, Award, Date, Role, Table, or ID.

2

Save it as CSV

In Excel or Google Sheets, use Download or Save As and choose CSV. You do not need formulas, scripts, or mail merge.

3

Choose your design

Use a built-in certificate, badge, card, or label template, or upload a PNG/JPG from Canva, PowerPoint, Google Slides, or your school brand kit.

4

Place the fields

Tell the app where Name, Date, Role, Table Number, or any other column should appear on the design.

5

Preview real rows

Check short and long names before exporting. The app flags text that may not fit, so surprises are easier to catch.

6

Download professional PDFs

Export one combined PDF, separate files in a ZIP, or ready-to-print sheets.

The mapping

Fill the blanks from your spreadsheet.

Drag a column onto each blank space on your design. It's not a formula or a template language — you just connect your data to where it goes.

Preview & checks

Preview before you export.

See how each row looks in your design before you generate anything. If a name or title is too long to fit, we flag the row first — so you're never surprised by a clipped PDF.

Flag rows that may not fit

Long values are caught and listed before export, not after.

Choose how overflow is handled

Shrink text slightly, wrap it, truncate, or flag the row for review — your call.

Step through every row

Spot-check the first, last, or any row in your CSV.

Questions

Good to know.

Plain answers about CSVs, designs, limits, and what we do with your files.

What is a CSV?

A CSV is just a spreadsheet saved as plain text — the kind you export from Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. Each row is one record (one person, one badge, one label), and each column is a field like name, date, or seat number.

Can I use my own design?

Yes. Upload a design that already has blank spaces where the personalized details should go, then map your CSV columns onto those blanks. Uploading your own designs is the intended direction of the product.

Can I use a PNG or JPEG design?

Yes. PNG and JPG backgrounds work today. Upload an image with blank areas, then map your spreadsheet columns on top of it.

What happens if text is too long?

We preview each row first and flag any value that may not fit its space. You decide how to handle overflow: shrink the text slightly, wrap it, truncate it, or flag the row for review — nothing is silently clipped.

How many PDFs can I generate?

You can process up to 500 rows per batch and download one combined PDF or a ZIP of separate PDFs. If your spreadsheet has more rows than that, the first 500 are processed.

Do you store my files?

Your uploaded spreadsheet and design file are used only for the current batch and are never stored. A copy of the finished PDF or ZIP is kept on our private server for 7 days so we can investigate misuse of this free tool, then deleted automatically. See the privacy page for details.

Can I generate certificates, name badges, and labels?

Yes — certificates, event badges, member & event ID-style cards, mailing labels, appointment cards, table cards, gift tags, and workshop passes are all just one design plus a row of data. If the layout repeats, this fills the blanks for every row.

Is this a Canva replacement?

No. This is for batch-personalizing designs you already have, or simple templates you choose inside the tool. It's not a full design editor — it's the step that turns one design and a spreadsheet into many finished PDFs.
