Changelog

What's new in CertPie, as we ship it.

A smoother typing cursor across the product

  • Text fields across the app, from sign in and sign up to settings and the certificate editor, now show an animated cursor that glides to where you type instead of jumping.
  • It settles instantly instead of animating if your system is set to reduce motion.

Switched to Dodo Payments

  • Dodo Payments is now the only payment provider, for India and international customers alike, at the same rupee pricing as before.
  • Downgrading a plan now sends a confirmation email and an in-app notification.

Autosave in the certificate editor

  • Changes save automatically as you work, with a local backup so a lost connection or a closed tab does not lose your edits.
  • If a save is about to overwrite a newer one from another tab or a teammate, it is stopped instead of silently replacing it.

One notification bell for everything

  • Batch-completion alerts and billing alerts (a failed payment, a plan expiring soon) now show in one place in the header.
  • Batch-completion notices are consistent across the dashboard, the certificates page, and the nav, instead of three separate, sometimes-missing surfaces.

A dashboard banner when billing needs attention

  • Organisations on a subscription now see a banner on the dashboard if a payment failed or a renewal is due within 7 days.

Certificate generation now runs in the background

  • Large batches generate on the server instead of in your browser tab, so closing the tab no longer stops a batch partway through.
  • A live progress bar shows generation as it happens, and a batch can be cancelled while it runs.
  • You get notified by email and in-app when a background batch finishes.

Sharper certificates with real, selectable text

  • Certificates can now render as vector PDFs with real text instead of a single flattened image, for sharper output.

Yearly billing, at a discount

  • Pro and Business now offer yearly billing alongside monthly, at a discount over paying month to month.

Certificate credit packs

  • Buy a one-time pack of certificate credits that never expire and stack on top of your monthly plan.
  • Credits are used only after your monthly allowance runs out, so they last as long as you need them to.

A support chatbot in the app

  • Added an in-app assistant with instant answers to common questions about generating, verifying, and billing certificates.

Delete certificates

  • Delete a single certificate, or several at once.
  • Bulk deletes require typing DELETE to confirm, since it breaks the certificates' verification links.

Invite your team, switch between workspaces

  • Invite teammates to your organisation, and they can accept or decline from a dashboard banner.
  • Switch between multiple organisations from a dropdown, if you belong to more than one.

Import your own certificate design

  • Upload your own background image and use it as a template, instead of building only from scratch in the editor.
