Design badges, diplomas and ID credentials
The three visual pieces of the system, what each is for, and how to avoid the sizing mistakes you only notice too late.
Three pieces, three purposes
The badge certifies an achievement and is what gets shared on LinkedIn. The diploma is the formal PDF version, the one that gets printed and framed. The ID credential is about belonging: a staff or student card with photo and ID number, renewed each cycle.
All three are signed the same way and verify the same way. What changes is the format and the use, not the trust.
Sizes worth respecting
- Badge: square, 600×600 px or more, PNG with a transparent background. It will be seen at 64 px in a list and at 400 px on a page.
- Diploma background: landscape, 3508×2480 px (A4 at 300 dpi). Leave the lower-right third clear: the QR goes there.
- ID credential: portrait, CR80 proportions (bank-card size), 1012×638 px at 300 dpi.
Heads up: The most common mistake is a badge with small text. At 64 pixels nobody reads a subtitle. If the name will not fit large, it belongs in the badge title, not in the image.
Importing from Canva or Figma
From the Educador plan you connect your account once and pull in your designs without exporting by hand.
- Go to Integrations and connect Canva or Figma.
- In the badge or diploma form, choose Import and paste the design link.
- Adjust using the size guides shown for each format.
The diploma designer
The diploma is built on top of your background by placing blocks: name, title, date, signatures and QR. Each block moves and scales.
- Upload the background and place the name block where the name goes in your printed design.
- Add signatures as PNGs with transparency.
- Place the QR where it does not get in the way. It is what turns a pretty PDF into a verifiable document.
- Generate a preview with a long test name: "María de los Ángeles Hernández Villaseñor" reveals overflows that "Ana López" hides.
Stackable pathways
From the Academia plan you can chain credentials: three courses that grant a certificate. You define which badges make up the pathway, and when someone gathers the pieces, the final credential issues itself.
It is how a set of standalone courses starts reading as a program.
