Yes. Without an account you can make 3 PDFs a day. A free account gives you 50 a month, no card needed.

What you type stays in your browser, so you can come back to it. The finished PDF is kept only so you can download it: the link works for 1 hour without an account and 24 hours with one, and the file is deleted within about a day. If a PDF cannot be built, the error report can quote a few lines of what you typed; it is kept with the usage records.

What is the small line at the bottom?

PDFs made without an account carry a small "Made with Pressa" line at the foot of the page. A free account (50 PDFs a month, no card) removes it.

Can I switch designs after typing my details?

Yes. All 5 designs take the same details, so picking another one or another colour keeps everything you typed. The preview shows the change right away.

Yes. The preview beside the form does not count against your free PDFs. It is marked PREVIEW; Download PDF makes the finished document.

Can I make these automatically?

Yes. The same template works from your AI assistant, from n8n and through the API with JSON data. See the sections above.

Have an AI assistant? You don't have to type.

Copy this sentence, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant and add your details. It reads the instructions and makes the PDF, or tells you how to connect it first.

Read https://pressa.dev/templates/certificate/agent.md and make me a certificate PDF in the Classic design. Here are my details:

The designs

Every design takes exactly the same details: a classic certificate with a gold frame, a modern layout with a colour panel, a minimal layout with a fine frame, a bold colour band, and an elegant serif with a double frame and a seal. Each fits one landscape A4 page.

Use it with your AI assistant

The quickest way is the sentence at the top of this page: your assistant reads these instructions and makes the PDF, or tells you how to connect Pressa if it cannot yet. Assistants that can run commands (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) do it all on their own.

Or connect Pressa yourself once, then ask for the document in plain words. Your assistant asks for anything it is missing, fills the template and hands you the PDF. To change something later, just say what.

Connect Pressa. In Claude Code run the command below; other assistants that support MCP take the address https://api.pressa.dev/mcp.
Terminal
```
claude mcp add --transport http pressa https://api.pressa.dev/mcp
```

Ask, for example:

For developers and automations

Send the fields as JSON and get a link to the PDF. It works without a key for a few documents a day; with a free key you get 50 a month. In n8n this is one HTTP Request node, set up as in the n8n guide.

Each design has its own slug, certificate, modern-certificate, minimal-certificate, bold-certificate, elegant-certificate, and they all take the same data. Add "color": "burgundy" next to data for another colour.

Terminal

curl -X POST https://api.pressa.dev/api/v1/public_templates/certificate/render \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @data.json
