Step by step

From spreadsheet to certificates

  1. Choose a design

    Open the app and pick one of the ready designs, or upload your own background — a PNG or JPG exported from Canva, Photoshop or PowerPoint, landscape or portrait.

    • Designs marked PRO unlock with a paid plan; you can still preview them.
    • Your own design works on the free plan too.

    • Add your recipients

      Copy the rows from Excel or Google Sheets and paste them in, or upload a CSV or XLSX file. The first row is the column names — Name, Course, Date, or anything else.

      • Any column can be used on the certificate as {Column name}.
      • Hindi names work as they are — no special font needed.

    • Place text, logo and signatures

      Click a column chip to insert it into a line. Drag anything on the preview to move it; arrow keys nudge. Add your logo and up to two signatures (PNG with a transparent background looks best).

      • Long names shrink to fit their box automatically.
      • Use the arrows above the preview to check every recipient.
      Hindi and English, exactly as they'll print.

    • Turn on QR verification (optional)

      Tick QR verification and type your organisation's name. Each certificate gets a short Certificate ID, a short link and a small QR code that anyone can scan to check it.

      • Note your issuer fingerprint and publish it on your website.
      • Back up your issuer key from the app.
      Scan to check — genuine or not.

    • Download

      Choose One PDF per person (a ZIP of files named after each recipient) or One PDF, all pages for printing. Five certificates take about a second; a few hundred, about a minute.

      • Set the file names, for example {Name} - {Course}.
      • Free plan: up to 25 per batch with a small credit line.
      Fast, and all in your browser.

    • Send or print

      Send the PDFs with a mail-merge tool that attaches a file per person, share them on WhatsApp or your LMS, or send the combined PDF to the print shop.

      • Sanmaan doesn't send emails itself.
      • Your project stays saved in this browser for next time.

    FAQ

    Getting started

    Do I need to install anything?

    No. Sanmaan runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari — on a laptop or desktop. It works best on a computer; phones are fine for checking certificates.

    Can I save my work?

    Yes. The app keeps your current project (design, layout, list, logo and signatures) in this browser, so it's there next time. “Start over” clears it.

    What file types can I upload?

    Lists: CSV, TSV, XLSX, XLS or ODS — or paste from any spreadsheet. Designs, logos and signatures: PNG or JPG.

    How many certificates can I make at once?

    Up to 25 per batch on the free plan; unlimited with an Event Pass or Lifetime. A few hundred take about a minute, depending on your computer.
