Manual certificate generation is one of those tasks that looks simple but becomes painful at scale.
After seeing HR and L&D teams spend hours copy-pasting names, IDs, and details into certificate templates, I decided to build a desktop tool that generates certificates in bulk using an Excel file.
This project focuses on real-world usage, not just a demo idea.
🧩 The Problem
HR teams often need to generate 100s or 1000s of certificates
Manual editing leads to:
Errors in names and IDs
Inconsistent formatting
Huge time consumption
✅ The Solution
I built a Windows desktop application that:
Takes an Excel file as input
Maps Excel columns to certificate fields
Generates certificates in bulk automatically
Works offline
Is lightweight and simple to use (HR-friendly)
This makes it useful for:
HR & L&D teams
Training programs
Internship certificates
Workshops & events
🔧 Tech & Design Notes
Desktop-based (no browser dependency)
Designed for performance and reliability
Simple workflow to reduce learning curve
Download tracking implemented to understand real usage (privacy-friendly)
