Create a Professional Invoice in Minutes (Free Generator)

An invoice is the document that actually gets you paid: it tells a client what you delivered, what it costs, and how to settle it. This free invoice generator builds one in your browser with a live preview - pick a template, add your logo, enter your business and client details, then list your line items. Quantities and prices are totalled as you type, with optional tax and discount, and the running total updates instantly. When it looks right, download it as a PDF or a PNG image, or print it directly. There is no account to create and nothing is uploaded, so client names and rates stay on your own machine.

Key benefits

• Free with no sign-up, no monthly fee and no watermark on the finished invoice.
• Everything runs in your browser, so client names, rates and totals are never uploaded.
• Live preview means you see the finished document while you edit rather than after exporting.
• Handles tax and percentage discounts without you doing the arithmetic.
• Works with any currency symbol, so it is not locked to one country.
• Exports as PDF for emailing or PNG for pasting into a message.

How to use it, step by step

1. Choose a template. Pick the layout and accent colour that suits your business. The preview updates immediately.
2. Add your logo and details. Upload a logo and fill in your business name, address and contact information.
3. Enter the client and invoice info. Add who it is for, the invoice number and the dates. Use a consistent numbering scheme so invoices stay easy to track.
4. List what you are charging for. Add a line per item with description, quantity and unit price. Totals calculate as you type.
5. Set tax and any discount. Enter your tax rate as a percentage, and a discount if one applies. Both are applied to the subtotal automatically.
6. Download or print. Export as a PDF to email, a PNG image, or print straight from the page.

Common use cases

• Freelancers and contractors billing clients for project work or hours.
• Small businesses issuing invoices without paying for accounting software.
• Consultants sending a professional-looking bill after a piece of work.
• Tradespeople invoicing on the spot after a job.
• Anyone who needs one properly formatted invoice occasionally, not a subscription.

Pro tips

• Use sequential invoice numbers. It makes chasing payment and reconciling your records far easier, and most tax authorities expect it.
• State payment terms plainly - "due within 14 days" gets paid faster than leaving it unsaid.
• Describe each line item specifically. "Website work" invites questions; "Homepage redesign, 6 hours" does not.
• Save a PDF copy of every invoice you send. This tool does not keep records for you.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Forgetting the invoice number or date, which makes the document hard to reference and harder to chase.
• Leaving payment details off entirely, so the client has to ask how to pay you.
• Applying tax to the wrong base when a discount is involved. Check the totals before sending.
• Assuming the tool stores your invoices. Nothing is saved once you close the tab, so download every one.
