    How to make an invoice in about two minutes.

    Every part of an invoice, explained.

    An invoice is a dated request for payment with a unique number. It names you and your customer, lists what you supplied, adds any tax, and shows the amount due and how to pay. This is ours, part by part.

    Invoice formats for every country

    What an invoice must show, in ten countries.

    Every invoice needs your details, the customer, a unique number, the date, what you supplied and the amount due. A tax invoice adds your tax number and the tax amount. These are the rules that differ.

    Questions, answered.

    Short answers first. Cannot find yours? Ask us.

    Is this invoice generator really free?

    Yes, completely. There is no account, no trial and no watermark, and no limit on how many invoices you make. The site is paid for by WhizInvoice, our sister app, which some people move to when they want to email invoices and take card payments.

    Do I need to sign up to download the PDF?

    No. Every button works without an account and we never ask for your email address to give you your own invoice.

    Do you see or store my invoice?

    Not unless you ask us to email it. The editor, the sums and the PDF are all made in your browser, and your draft, logo and last 20 invoices are kept in this browser’s local storage. If you press Email me, the PDF and your email go to WhizInvoice, our sister company, only to deliver that email.

    How do I add GST, VAT or sales tax?

    Choose your country, then set Tax to Added or Included. The usual rate is filled in and the title changes to the wording your tax office expects, such as Tax Invoice. You can set a different rate on any line or mark a line as exempt.

    Can I use prices that already include tax?

    Yes. Set Tax to Included and the editor works the tax out of each price, shows it per rate, and adds a line saying the total includes it. This is common for sales to consumers in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

    What invoice number should I use?

    Any number works if each one is used once and they run in order. INV-0001 is a common start. After each download, the next invoice here counts up by one. Our invoice numbering guide has formats that sort well.

    Can I add my logo?

    Yes. Click Add your logo and pick a PNG, JPG or WebP file up to 10 MB. It is resized in your browser, kept only on this device and placed on every invoice you make here until you remove it.

    Is the PDF real text or a picture?

    Real text with embedded fonts, so it prints sharply, can be searched and works in every PDF viewer. Pick A4 or US Letter before you download. The file is named with the number and customer, such as Invoice-INV-0007-Acme.pdf.

    Which template should I choose?

    Classic and Centered suit consultants and studios. Band and Bold carry your colour and work well with a simple logo. Minimal and Statement put the amount due first, which helps busy clients pay. Ledger and Compact fit long parts lists. You can switch at any time without losing anything.

    Can I make the invoice in Word or Excel instead?

    The editor makes PDF files. For a file you can edit later, use our Word invoice templates or the Excel templates, which add up totals for you.

    Is this an AI invoice generator?

    It does the busy work for you without AI. Pick a country and the tax name, rate, title and paper size are set. Numbers count up, due dates follow your terms, and every total and tax line is worked out exactly to the cent. Nothing you type is sent to an AI service.

    Does it work on my phone?

    Yes. On a phone the invoice becomes a short form in sections, with a bar at the bottom for Preview and Download. Preview shows the finished page exactly as the PDF will look.

    Can you email the invoice PDF to me?

    Yes. Press Email me, type your email, and we send the PDF to your inbox so you can keep it or forward it to your customer. The marketing box is unticked, so you only get tips if you ask for them. To send, track and get paid online, WhizInvoice does that free for unlimited invoices.
