Need one that actually counts?

A sample proves nothing to an employer. A registered doctor can review your case online and issue a signed certificate the same day, for free.

See how it works
Free tool

Build a sample certificate and see exactly how one is laid out.

Pick a layout, fill in the fields, and the preview updates as you type. Everything happens in your browser — nothing you enter is sent to us or stored on our servers.

This produces a sample layout, not a medical certificate.

Every file the tool exports carries a permanent SAMPLE watermark. It is not signed by a doctor, it certifies nothing, and presenting it to an employer, school or insurer as a genuine certificate is fraud. If you need a real one, a registered doctor can issue it.

How it works

Four steps, about a minute, nothing to install.

01

Pick a layout

Four templates, from a plain serif letterhead to a modern coloured header. Switch between them at any point.

02

Pick the type

Sick leave, fitness, general or return to work. The certifying wording and the date fields change with your choice.

03

Fill in the details

Patient, condition, dates, practice. The preview redraws on every keystroke — nothing to refresh.

04

Download or print

A watermarked PNG or SVG, or straight to your printer and to PDF. No email, no account.

Why use it

A layout tool that stays out of your way.

Instant

The preview redraws as you type. No render queue, no waiting for a file to build.

Private by design

No upload and no account. The details you type never leave your browser, so there is nothing for us to store or leak.

Free, with no tier above it

Every layout, every format, unlimited downloads. There is no paid version and no watermark removal to sell you.

Print-ready

Drawn at A4 proportions, so it prints and saves to PDF without cropping or a scaling dialog.

Save and come back

Keep up to eight drafts in your own browser and restore any of them later.

Works on any device

Phone, tablet or desktop — the layout is vector, so it stays sharp at any size.

Be clear about the difference

A sample layout is not a medical certificate.

They look similar on screen, which is exactly why it is worth spelling out what separates them.

Presenting any document as a genuine medical certificate when no doctor issued it is fraud, and in most of Europe a criminal offence — quite apart from what it does to your employment. This tool exists to show you the format, nothing more.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

No. It is a layout mock-up, not a medical document. No doctor has examined anyone or signed anything, so it certifies nothing and carries no legal or medical weight. Every file the tool produces is watermarked to make that unmistakable.
No, and there is no paid tier that removes it. The watermark is drawn into the document itself, so it survives the PNG, SVG and PDF exports. A clean copy would be a blank anyone could forge, which is not what this tool is for.
Seeing what a certificate contains before you need one, checking which details an employer will expect to find on it, mocking up a layout for a practice template, and teaching or training material. It answers "what does one look like" without pretending to be one.
Free, unlimited, and there is no sign-up. The generator asks for an email address and phone number before it will export, but only so the sample is filled in like a real form would be — they stay in your browser with everything else on this page, are never sent to us, and do not create an account or subscribe you to anything.
They stay in your browser. The tool runs entirely on your device — there is no upload, and the certificate is drawn locally by your browser rather than on our servers. If you save a draft it goes to your browser's local storage, and clearing your browsing data deletes it.
PNG for a flat image, SVG if you want to edit the layout in a vector editor, and Print to send it straight to a printer or to save it as a PDF through your browser's print dialog.
The patient's name, the date of examination, what the doctor is certifying and for what period, any advice or workplace adjustments, and the doctor's name, signature and registration number. The generator lays out those same fields so you can see where each one sits.
A registered doctor has to assess you and issue it. You can do that online here: complete a health questionnaire, a doctor reviews your case and comes back to you with any questions, and if they are satisfied they issue a signed PDF the same day — a flat €34.99, refunded in full if no certificate is issued.

Need a certificate that actually holds up?

Complete a short health questionnaire, a registered doctor reviews it, and your signed certificate arrives as a PDF — usually the same day, for a flat €34.99.
