QR Code Certificates - What They Are and How to Generate Them

Why QR codes are becoming standard in certificates

Digital certificates without validation are easy to copy or modify.
That’s why more institutions are using QR codes to verify authenticity.

QR codes help to:

• Prevent fraud
• Enable online verification
• Increase trust
• Professionalize certificate issuance

What information can a certificate QR code contain?

A QR code can link to:

• An online verification page
• Participant data
• Issuing organization
• Issue date

The key is that verification does not depend on the PDF alone.

How to generate QR code certificates automatically

Manual methods exist, but they don’t scale:

• Generating QR codes one by one
• Inserting them manually
• Repeating the process for every participant

The scalable solution is full automation.
