Open Badges 3.0 · HMAC-SHA256 signed

Ship a cohort’s credentials in one upload.

CertForge mints tamper-evident certificates for bootcamps, internships and events. Recipients keep them in a passport they own. Employers verify one from its ID alone — no login, no email to your team.

Free includes 50 credentials and one cohort upload a month. Unlimited uploads, your own artwork and API keys start on Pro.

Specimen — this ID resolves to nothing.

Validate before you sign

Map a CSV to a template and CertForge reports every row it could not render before anything is issued — so a typo never becomes a credential you have to revoke.

A passport that outlives the cohort

One public URL holding everything a person has earned — still resolving after the programme, the employer or the issuer has wound down.

Issue from one call

Templates, credentials, batches and revocation are the whole surface. Every issuance returns its verify URL, its badge document and its PDF. API keys start on Pro.

Lifecycle
  1. Define a template

    The guided form, hand-written HTML, or — from Pro — your own certificate design with the fields dragged onto it.

  2. Upload the cohort

    A CSV against that template. Every row is rendered and signed; the batch reports what succeeded and what did not. Community includes one upload a month.

  3. Recipients claim

    From a claim link you share. Unclaimed credentials still verify — claiming only adds the passport, it never changes whether the credential is valid.

  4. Anyone verifies

    One ID resolves to a human page and an Open Badges 3.0 document. No login, no account, no email to your team.

Where CertForge actually is

Early access, in the open. Rather than a disclaimer, the state of each surface.
