How to create a certificate of achievement PDF in React

LMS and event tools issue certificates in bulk. Pass recipient name and date per render and keep the frame identical across the cohort.

  1. Preview the live @react-pdf/renderer output on this page (no signup).
  2. Click Use this template to open it in the visual builder and bind your {{variables}}.
  3. Export the .zip of typed TSX, drop it into your Next.js app, and call renderToBuffer with your data.

Drop the exported folder into your app/ directory, import the template, and pass typed props. Render it server-side with renderToBuffer in a route handler, or stream it to the browser. No headless browser, no runtime to learn.

FAQ

Questions about this certificate of achievement template

Is the preview the real PDF?

Yes. The sheet renders through @react-pdf/renderer, the exact engine behind the export and the hosted API. What you preview is what ships.

Do I own the exported code?

Yes. Export is a .zip of typed TSX, sample data, and a README. There is no proprietary runtime and no vendor lock-in. You render PDFs inside your own React or Next.js app.

Can I batch-issue certificates?

Yes. Map over recipients and call renderToBuffer for each with different name and date props. Same template, many PDFs.
