In their own words
CertSeal
CertSeal helps teams design, issue, deliver, and verify digital certificates, badges, and other credentials through web, API, and self-hosted options. Its editor offers drag-and-drop design, branding, dynamic fields, and 200+ templates. Teams can issue personalized credentials in bulk from CSV or Google Sheets data, or through the API. Each credential receives a unique verification URL and dynamic QR code, and recipients can check it from a printed copy. Teams can revoke and re-issue credentials, with status updated on verification pages. Recipients can share credentials to LinkedIn, X, and Facebook or add them to LinkedIn’s Licenses and Certifications section. Listed integrations include Zoom, Zapier, and a REST API with signed webhooks; CertSeal says Zapier connects to 5,000+ apps. The free plan includes 100 certificates per year and one batch; unused quota does not roll over, and deleting recipients does not restore it. Paid plans start at $39 a month. CertSeal says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and it can sign a DPA covering GDPR, UK GDPR, and Singapore’s PDPA.
