Many free invoice makers stamp their name on the PDF, stop after a few invoices, or want an account before you can download anything. This one does none of that: the PDF has no watermark and nothing on it but what you typed. Fill in your business and your client, add the work line by line, set a discount, a tax rate and any other charge, and the preview shows the finished invoice as you type. Download PDF writes a proper PDF whose words are real text you can select and search, not a picture of the page, and Print sends the same layout to a printer.
The invoice is put together in your browser, so the names, addresses, amounts and bank details on it are not uploaded. It is free, with no account. The PDF library, and for some alphabets and currency signs a font, are downloaded from this site the first time you download a PDF. Your business details can be kept in this browser so the next invoice starts filled in with the next number, and Save invoice file keeps a copy you can open here again to edit.
- Is there a watermark, or a cap on how many invoices I can make?
- No to both. Nothing appears on the invoice except what you typed - no logo, name or link from this site - and there is no count of invoices, no account and nothing to pay.
- Can I select and copy the text in the PDF invoice?
- Yes. The PDF is written with pdf-lib as real text in a font, so every name, number and amount can be selected, copied and searched, and an accounts system that reads PDFs can read it. Open it and try selecting the total.
- How does the invoice work out tax?
- With a rate for the whole invoice, which you type in, and an optional second one for places with two taxes, such as GST and PST in Canada or CGST and SGST in India. Each is charged on the subtotal less any discount - and on the other charge too if you tick that box - not on top of each other, and rounded once to the currency's smallest unit. The page does not know the tax rules where you are, so it is not tax advice: check the rate and the wording your invoices need with an accountant or your tax authority.
- Where are my business details and invoices kept?
- In this browser's own storage on this device, and only while Keep my details is ticked: your business details, logo, defaults, the invoice you are working on and the last number you used. They are not sent anywhere. For a lasting copy of an invoice, press Save invoice file - it is a small JSON file you can open here again, on any computer, to change and re-download.
- Can I add my signature to the invoice?
- Yes. Draw it in the signature box with a mouse, a finger on a phone or a pen on a tablet, or upload a picture of your signature, and add your name and role to print beneath it. It appears at the foot of the invoice, in the PDF and on paper. It is a picture of a signature, not a digital signature with a certificate.
- How do I make a pro forma invoice or a quote?
- Choose Pro forma invoice, Quote or Estimate under Document. The title changes to match, the date becomes the date the offer is valid until, and the box beside the client shows the total. When the client accepts, switch the same document to Invoice, give it an invoice number and send it. Receipt and Credit note work the same way, without a due date.
- What is the SEPA payment QR code?
- A QR code, set out by the European Payments Council and known as EPC QR or GiroCode, that holds your name, IBAN, the amount due and the invoice number. Many banking apps in the euro area can scan it and fill in the transfer, so the client cannot mistype the IBAN. Tick the box under Payment details on an invoice in euro and enter your IBAN; the IBAN's check digits are checked before the code is drawn.
