A perfect fit for your certificate paper
Use the stationery you love. Get your content aligned with existing borders, without printing them twice.
Start with the physical paper
Check whether the sheet is A4 (210 × 297 mm) or US Letter (215.9 × 279.4 mm). Choose the matching paper size and orientation in Paper & printing. Avoid guessing: a small size difference can noticeably shift the content.
Remove the template decoration
Switch on “I already have certificate paper.” The editor removes the background and border while keeping your text, logo, and signature image. If your stationery already includes a logo, hide the uploaded logo layer in Design studio.
Give the border some breathing room
Set a safe margin inside the preprinted decoration and turn on the safe-area guide. This blue line is only a preview aid and is excluded from your certificate. Use the numeric X and Y controls to move text precisely, or select a layer and use the arrow keys.
Print one calibration sheet
Use Print calibration sheet on ordinary paper, then place it over the certificate paper and hold both to the light. The guide rectangle and center lines help you see the position relative to the existing border. Adjust the safe margin and text positions as needed.
Choose actual size
In the browser or printer dialog, use the same paper size, select 100% or Actual size, and disable headers and footers. Avoid “Fit to page” when alignment is important. Printer feed tolerances vary, so test one real sheet before printing a batch.
