+# The Image Certificate Maker
+
+Making certificates for a large quantity of participants can be a tedious task for an event. This tool automates the process of creating certificates in bulk, saving time and effort.
+
+## Usage
+- Clone the repo, and `cd` into it.
+- Run `init.sh` to initiate the environment. This installs `uv`, and installs `pillow` as the dependency, and activates the virtual environment.
+```bash
+chmod +x init.sh
+./init.sh
+```
+- In the repo folder, add a `participants.csv` where the names are listed under the `name` column.
+- Add `cert.jpg` or `cert.png` to the folder, depending on which format you want to use.
+- Import the font of your liking into the folder, and specify the filename under `font_path = ""`
+- Run the script using uv.
+
+For JPEG, Run
+```bash
+uv run jpeg.py
+```
+
+For PNG, Run
+```bash
+uv run png.py
+```
+
+This generates a `certificates` folder.
+
+**NOTE**: If your certificate does not have names right in the center, you might have to adjust the y offset in the script. Moreover, if the name is too long, you might have to modify font sizes as well.
+
+Multithreading ensures that the process is faster.
