Gift Certificate Template

A printable gift certificate for your business: value or service, recipient, certificate number, expiry, and a signature line. Built in your browser, never uploaded.

Fill in — the document updates live

Private by construction. The document is assembled by this page's JavaScript as you type. Names, prices, and photos never leave your machine, and the page keeps working with the network unplugged. Printing uses your browser's own print dialog — choose "Save as PDF" there to get a file.

Type the value and the names and the certificate on the right lays itself out like something worth handing over: your business in the letterhead position, the value in a double-ruled band, the recipient and giver above it, and the number-issued-expires row that lets you track redemption in a simple log. The default terms line covers the two things a certificate must say — where it is redeemable and that it is not cash — and you can replace it with your own wording. Print it on card stock, or save as PDF from the print dialog and email it. Nothing you type is transmitted anywhere; the certificate is drawn by this page's JavaScript.

Questions this template gets asked

Do gift certificates legally expire?

Rules differ sharply. US federal law requires at least five years for bank-issued gift cards, several US states ban expiry on gift certificates outright, and other countries have their own floors. Check your local rule before printing a short expiry - the expiry field is optional for exactly this reason.

Why number the certificates?

The number is your ledger. Record it with the value and date when you issue, cross it off when it is redeemed, and duplicate or forged certificates stop being a problem. Numbering is the difference between a certificate program and a stack of coupons.

Value or service - which should I write?

Either works. A dollar amount is flexible for the recipient; a named service (“one 60-minute session”) is easier for you to cost and often feels more like a gift. The value field takes free text so both print correctly.

What paper should I print on?

Card stock, 80-100 lb, prints best - the certificate is laid out for Letter/A4 and centered. Plain paper works for email-and-print gifting; choose Save as PDF in the print dialog to send it digitally.

Is this gift certificate maker free, without a watermark?

Yes. No account, no watermark, no branding except your own. The certificate builds in your browser and prints from the browser's dialog - recipient names and values never touch a server.
