XLBooster Certificate Maker review
A Windows Excel add-in for branded, bulk certificates with IDs, QR verification and delivery.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
XLBooster Certificate Maker is a Windows desktop Microsoft Excel add-in for computer institutes, academies, coaching centres and training organizations. It uses recipient data from Excel rows and PowerPoint-based templates to create batches of personalized certificates. Organizations can apply logos, signatures and reusable settings, then produce certificates with unique IDs. The workflow suits teams that already manage recipient records in Excel and want branded documents without moving to a recurring subscription product.
The Certificate Maker Lifetime plan costs INR 9,999 as a one-time license. Its included capabilities cover bulk Excel generation, custom templates, institute branding, certificate IDs, QR verification and GitHub verification links. Certificates can be exported in PDF or PNG format, while verification pages can be published through GitHub. Delivery is supported through Outlook or Gmail, and the surrounding ecosystem is centered on Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, GitHub and email tools rather than a broader cross-platform service.
Its main trade-off is platform fit. XLBooster is designed for the Windows desktop version of Microsoft Excel and is not supported on Mac or mobile devices, so organizations working across those environments should choose another certificate tool. It also requires a paid purchase because there is no free plan. For Windows-based institutes and training centres that rely on Excel and PowerPoint, the combination of bulk generation, reusable branding, verification links and direct delivery makes it a focused option. Organizations seeking mobile access, Mac support or a free starting tier should look elsewhere.
