I built a free tool that generates 500 certificates in 30 seconds — here's why I made it

Let me tell you about a night that genuinely frustrated me. A close friend of mine was organizing a technical workshop at our college. Around 150 students participated over two days. Great event. Good turnout. But when it was over, the real pain began. She had to create participation certificates for every single attendee. 150 people. One certificate template. And her plan? Open Canva. Type the first name. Align it. Export it. Go back. Type the next name. Repeat. 150 times. I watched her do this at 11pm. She finished at 2am. Three hours. For certificates. I couldn't stop thinking about it. This is a completely solved problem. CSV files exist. Image processing exists. Browsers are powerful enough to handle this locally. Why is nobody making a simple, free tool that just does this? So I built one.
