If what you want is to do a "certificate" like a "diploma" for a bunch of
names you can use any program that offers mail-merge[1].  I know that MS
publisher and probably MS office has it, but I haven't use them.  Normally
I use Scribus [2] when I need to create badges for conferences.  You can
make quite a lot of stuff with a bit of python and Scribus together.
LibreOffice can do it too.

In the online world seems to be a few tools, but I've not used any of
these, Google docs has apps for that too.

Cheers,
David
