Invoice Generator
Free invoice and bill maker — no signup, no watermark, PDF in minutes.
A premium invoice generator that creates professional, print-ready invoices entirely in your browser. Add your business details and logo, client information, invoice number and dates, and up to 20+ line items with auto-calculated totals. Apply flat or itemized tax (built on the same tax logic as the GST Calculator), flat or percentage discounts before or after tax, shipping charges, and free-text notes and payment terms. Choose from 5 templates — Minimal, Modern, Classic, Bold, and Elegant — with a live preview that updates as you type, then export a matching PDF or print directly. Everything runs locally — your invoices, client data, and logo never leave your device.
Export ledger is for ledger-cli, hledger, or beancount users — it downloads this invoice as a plain-text journal entry you can paste into your accounting file (adjust the account names to match your own chart of accounts).

What actually makes an invoice look professional
It's not the template — it's a consistent numbering scheme and unambiguous line items.
A client deciding whether to pay an invoice on time is reading it for exactly three things: who's billing whom, what for, and by when. Everything else — the template, the logo, the color accent — is secondary. This generator gets that structure right by default so you can focus on the details that are actually specific to the job: the line items, the tax treatment, and the due date.
How to use it
- Add your business details and, optionally, upload a logo — these get remembered in your local draft so you don't re-enter them next time.
- Add the client's details and an invoice number (the tool suggests the next sequential number based on your history) and dates — issue date and due date.
- Add line items: description, quantity, and rate — totals per line and the running subtotal calculate automatically as you type.
- Set tax mode (flat rate on the whole invoice, or itemized per line if different services carry different rates) and any discount, choosing whether it applies before or after tax.
- Add shipping charges and any notes or payment terms, pick a template (Minimal, Modern, Classic, Bold, or Elegant), and check the live preview on the right.
- Download the finished invoice as a PDF, or use Print to send it straight to your browser's print dialog.
Common use cases
- Freelancers and contractors billing multiple clients who need a clean, numbered invoice without paying for invoicing software.
- Small businesses issuing GST or VAT invoices — using itemized tax mode when different line items carry different rates, matching the same tax logic as the GST Calculator.
- One-off invoices — a single project or sale that doesn't justify setting up a recurring billing system.
- Multi-currency billing — switching currency per invoice for international clients, with correct locale formatting in both the preview and the exported PDF.

Tool Overview
A closer look at Invoice Generator — how it works, who it's for, and where it fits in your workflow.
Every freelancer, small business, and contractor eventually has to do the same chore: turn a week of work into a clean, professional invoice that a client will actually pay. The Invoice Generator removes the friction — no spreadsheet formulas, no design software, no account to create. Add your business details and logo, the client's information, an invoice number and dates, then build the line items. Every total — subtotal, tax, discount, shipping, and the grand total — recalculates live as you type, so the numbers are always right before you hit download.
Taxes and discounts behave the way real invoicing software behaves. Use a flat rate for a simple bill, or itemized per-line rates when services carry different slabs — the same tax math that powers the GST Calculator. Discounts can be a fixed amount or a percentage, applied before tax (which reduces the taxable base) or after tax. Notes and payment terms ride along at the bottom, so your bank details and thank-you note ship with the invoice instead of living in a separate email.
The preview renders the invoice as it will actually look, across five layouts — Minimal, Modern, Classic, Bold, and Elegant — and the PDF you download matches the preview exactly. Everything runs in your browser: the PDF is generated locally with pdf-lib, drafts autosave to your own device's local storage, and your logo, client list, and financial details are never uploaded anywhere. That privacy is the point: invoicing data is some of the most sensitive information a small business owns, and it should never have to travel to a third-party server just to be formatted.
