Important distinction
This free tool creates a visual file. A downloadable image or PDF is not automatically a verified digital credential or standards-compliant Open Badge. Issuing platforms can add identity, metadata, verification and lifecycle management.
Can I use the output commercially?
You can use your own generated design, subject to any fonts, uploaded images or brand assets you add.
Does the tool issue verified credentials?
No. It creates the visual asset. Use a credential platform when you need recipient records, verification links, revocation, analytics or Open Badge metadata.
