Frequently asked questions

Yes. There is no account, no email verification and no trial. Open the invoice generator, fill in the fields and download the PDF. Nothing is gated behind a login.

Yes. You can create unlimited invoices, preview them and export PDFs at no cost. There is no paid tier that unlocks the PDF, and exported invoices carry no watermark or advertising.

Freelancers, contractors, handymen, consultants, realtors, agencies and small business owners who need a clean invoice quickly. It is deliberately simpler than full accounting software: it creates the document, and you keep the records.

Yes, including for commercial invoicing. You are responsible for making sure the invoice contains whatever your local rules require, such as a tax registration number. See the disclaimer for the limits of what this tool does.

Start with your business details and the client billing details, then the invoice number and dates, then line items. The step-by-step guide on creating an invoice walks through the same order with examples.

No. The invoice you are working on is held in your browser local storage on your own device so you can refresh or come back later. It is not uploaded to a server and we cannot see it.

The draft is deleted along with the rest of the site data, because it only ever existed on your device. Download the PDF, or export the invoice as JSON, before clearing anything you still need.

Yes. Everything works, but the draft is discarded when you close the private window, so export the PDF before you finish.

No. Logos and line item photos are read in the browser, rendered into the preview and embedded directly into the PDF you download. They are not transmitted to us.

Advertising may be shown to keep the tool free, but ad code cannot read the invoice you are working on: the draft stays in your browser local storage and is never sent anywhere. See the privacy policy and cookie policy for the full disclosure.

We do not set cookies to identify you. What is stored on your device is listed in full on the cookie policy page.

An invoice number must be unique and should increase over time so gaps are visible. A simple format such as INV-1001, INV-1002 works for most people; year prefixes like 2026-014 suit businesses that reset each financial year. The invoice numbering guide covers resets, client codes and how to handle corrections.

Enable tax and enter your rate as a percentage, for example 18 for 18% GST. The tool applies the discount to the subtotal first, then calculates tax on the discounted amount, then adds shipping. That order is the standard convention and prevents overstating the tax owed. Always confirm the rate that applies to your goods or services.

Yes. Discounts and tax can each be entered as a percentage or a fixed amount, and shipping is a separate figure so it is not discounted or taxed by mistake.

Yes. Pick your currency and the symbol is used consistently in the form, the preview and the exported PDF. For cross-border invoices, it is good practice to state the currency code as well.

Net 30 is the common default for business clients, Net 7 to Net 15 for freelance work, and due on receipt for small or one-off jobs. Always write the calendar due date as well as the term name. The payment terms guide compares the main options.

Fill in the invoice, check the live preview, then use the download button. The PDF is generated in your browser and saved straight to your device. Nothing is uploaded to produce it.

Yes. Download the PDF and print it from your PDF viewer, which gives the most reliable page breaks and margins. You can also print directly from the browser, though the PDF route is recommended for client-facing copies.

No. Exported PDFs contain only your invoice content.

Yes, while the draft is still in your browser you can reopen and change it. To keep an invoice long term, export it as JSON; you can import that file later to load the invoice back into the editor and adjust it.

Yes. Each line item accepts multiple images in JPG, JPEG, PNG or WEBP. They appear in the preview and are embedded in the PDF, which is useful for before-and-after proof on repair and site work.

No hard limit. You can create as many invoices as you like and add as many line items as the job needs. The only practical limit is your device: very large numbers of high-resolution photos will make the PDF bigger and slower to generate.

Yes. Upload a logo and it keeps its aspect ratio in the form, the preview and the exported PDF.

Yes. The interface is responsive and works in modern mobile browsers, including creating and downloading the PDF.

After your first visit the site files are cached, so the tool generally opens and works without a connection. Loading remote fonts or images naturally still needs network access.

Yes, but drafts do not sync because they never leave the device they were created on. Export the invoice as JSON and open that file on the other device if you need to continue there.

Yes. Most browsers offer an install or "add to home screen" option, which opens the tool in its own window.

The format is flexible and works for most countries, but you are responsible for meeting local invoicing and tax requirements. Check what your jurisdiction mandates before relying on any template.

No. The guides are practical explanations, not professional advice. Consult a qualified accountant or adviser for your situation.

No. It creates the invoice document. Payment tracking, reminders and bookkeeping stay with you, and the small business invoicing guide shows a simple register you can keep in a spreadsheet.
