Some of these certificates open in Microsoft Word and similar word processing programs, while others can be edited and printed from start to finish right from your browser. You can customize them with your own text and in some cases colors and photos. Finally, you’ll print them off and hand them over. If it’s a special occasion, consider slipping them into a free, printable greeting card. There’s a wide selection of styles, so you should be able to find one to fit your occasion and recipient’s style. There is also a good mix of blank gift certificates as well as some that are already for a specific item or service. If you’re looking for a more personal gift, consider giving your loved one some free printable love coupons. They make perfect Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas, and birthday gifts. Within Canva you can fully customize the images, colors, and text before printing off or digitally sending these gift certificates. You’re also able to create one from scratch if you want. That means you get to make all the decisions about the design from the beginning. Some of the gift certificates here contain images that you do have to pay for in Canva. You can replace these images with free ones or look for ones marked as free. Something unique about this website is that you don’t have to download the MS Word file to edit the certificate because there’s an online editor where you can make changes and then print the certificate or download it as an image or PDF. Just use the blue buttons underneath the design you like. However, you can still download the DOCX file if you want to make the changes in a word processor program. You can’t change the designs or colors, but you can change any of the text. Not all of them are free, but those are cleared marked as such. The templates are in the DOT and DOTX formats. They download in a ZIP archive, so you’ll need to open that first. Each template has three gift certificates so you can edit three at once before printing them off. All of these templates are in the popular DOCX format, but are also available in ODT for use in OpenOffice. Check the download count next to the item you choose to see how popular it is compared to the others. They are all available in the DOCX format, and have a good sized preview of the template before you get it. There are gift certificate templates for birthdays, Easter, Christmas, Mother’s and Father’s Day, Boxing Day, Cyber Monday, and some other occasions. Just fill out the text fields like you would in the Microsoft Word templates and then choose Create to see how it looks. You’ll make all the changes to the template right inside your browser on the their website. You’ll be able to customize the colors and the text, add photos, change the size, choose a different layout, and more. The only free option for saving when you’re done is a lower-quality JPG. The site says it’ll save with a watermark, but that doesn’t appear to always be true.
