How do I create an invoice with this tool?
Fill in your business details, your client's details, and the invoice number and dates. Add one or more line items with a description, quantity and unit price, optionally set a discount, tax rate, shipping and amount already paid, then click Download PDF. Everything updates in the live preview as you type.
Is this invoice generator really free?
Yes. There is no account to create, no trial, and no watermark. The Invoice Generator is completely free, including the PDF download.
Is my data secure and private?
Completely. The entire generator runs in your browser — your business and client details are never uploaded to a server. Your draft is saved only in your own browser's local storage so you don't lose work on a refresh.
Which currencies are supported?
You can invoice in US Dollars, Euros, British Pounds, Canadian and Australian Dollars, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupees, Brazilian Real, Mexican Peso, Swiss Franc, South African Rand, Nigerian Naira, UAE Dirham and Singapore Dollar. Each currency is formatted correctly for its locale.
Can I add a discount, tax, shipping or an amount already paid?
Yes. You can apply a percentage or flat discount, set a tax rate, add a shipping fee, and record an amount already paid. The subtotal, discount, taxable base, tax, total and balance due are all calculated for you and shown identically in the preview and the PDF.
Does the preview match the downloaded PDF?
Yes. The live preview and the PDF export are built from the same calculation and layout logic, so the numbers and structure you see are exactly what you download.
Can I print the invoice instead of downloading a PDF?
Yes. Use the "Print / Save as PDF" button to open a print-ready view, where you can send the invoice to a physical printer or save it as a PDF using your browser's print dialog.
What information should a professional invoice include?
Your business name and contact details, the client's name and contact details, a unique invoice number, the issue date and a due date, an itemized list of products or services with quantities and prices, any discount, tax and shipping, the total amount due, and your payment terms or notes.
What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
An invoice is a request for payment sent before payment is made — it lists what is owed. A receipt confirms that a payment has already been received. Invoices are forward-looking; receipts are backward-looking.
Can I customize how the invoice looks?
Yes. You can choose from several accent colors to match your brand, set your currency, and edit every text field. The layout stays clean and professional so it is ready to send to clients.
