“The privacy angle sold me immediately. Our NGO cannot upload beneficiary data to random SaaS tools. This runs entirely locally — exactly what we needed.”

The Story
“We have 300 certificates left to send and it’s already midnight on Sunday.”

You organized the event. You made it great. And now you're spending your entire Sunday manually editing certificates in Canva, exporting them one by one, attaching them to emails, and praying you didn't mix up two names.

It shouldn't be this hard.

MailMyCertificate was built by Akshat Thakur after doing exactly this — then deciding no one should ever have to again. It's free. It's open source. And everything runs in your browser.

I built this because I was the organizer spending weekends on certificate work. After doing it manually for one too many hackathons, I automated it for myself — then rebuilt it properly so every community organizer could use it without paying, without signing up, and without handing over their participants' data.

If it saves you even one Sunday, it was worth building.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is MailMyCertificate?
MailMyCertificate is a free, open-source bulk certificate generator. You upload a template image and a participant list, and it produces a personalized PDF certificate for every row, then emails them through your own Gmail account. All PDF generation runs in your browser.
Is MailMyCertificate free?
Yes, entirely. It is MIT licensed with no paid tier, no trial, no per-certificate charge and no cap on how many you generate. There is nothing to sign up for, and no payment details are ever requested.
Does this use AI on my data?
No. MailMyCertificate is a deterministic certificate generator — no machine learning, no generative AI, no training models. PDF generation is 100% local to your device. Your data is never uploaded to any external service, including for any form of automated processing. It is guaranteed in writing that your data will never be used to train, improve, or create any foundational or large language models.
How do I generate certificates in bulk?
Export your certificate design as a PNG or JPG, then import your participant list as a CSV file or a public Google Sheets URL. Drag name and event fields onto the template, and generate every PDF in one batch.
Is my participant data uploaded anywhere?
No. Certificates are rendered in your browser using pdf-lib in a Web Worker, and participant rows are stored in IndexedDB on your own device. The list is never uploaded to a MailMyCertificate server.
