Free invoice generator — PDF in a minute, no signup

Fill this in and press Make PDF: your browser's own print dialog saves it as a PDF. There is no account to create, no email address to hand over, no watermark on the result, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. Your business details are remembered in this browser so the next invoice takes twenty seconds.

What this is not

A one-off generator. It makes one invoice, prints it, and forgets the numbers as soon as you clear this browser.

It will not tell you that client X still owes you for three hours you never billed, or which invoices went overdue last week.

Time tracking log hours as you work and bill exactly what you did
One-click billing gather every unbilled hour into a draft
A ledger outstanding, overdue and paid-this-month totals
Numbering that continues properly across dozens of invoices
CSV and JSON export for your accountant or a new computer
Three documents agreement, proposal and rate card, also PDF

How to make an invoice PDF without an account

Type your business name and address once. The page keeps them in this browser, so every later invoice starts filled in.

Add the client, then one line per piece of work: what you did, how many hours, and your rate for it. The amount column multiplies itself.

Set a tax or VAT percentage if you charge it, a discount if you are giving one, and an "already paid" figure if there was a deposit.

Press Make PDF and choose Save as PDF in the print dialog. Turn off "Headers and footers" if your browser adds a date to the page edge.

That is the whole process. There is no upload step, because nothing needs a server to work.

What makes an invoice actually usable

Clients and tax authorities ask for broadly the same things, and a missing one is the usual reason an invoice gets sent back:

A unique number. Two invoices with the same number is an accounting problem later.

Issue date and a due date, so the payment clock is not a matter of opinion.

Your registered or trading name and an address, and the same for who is being billed.

Line items clear enough that nobody has to ask what "work" means.

The currency stated, not assumed.

How and where to pay, in the notes, so it travels with the document.

Tax shown separately from the net amount if you are registered to charge it.

This form has a field for each of those. Whether you need to charge tax, and what your business registration number should look like on a document, depends on where you are — check your own rules rather than trusting a web page.

Frequently asked

Is a free invoice generator really free, or is there a catch?

This page has no account, no trial, no watermark and no export limit. It also has no server: the page is static and your inputs never leave the browser. The catch, if you want one, is that it is a one-off tool rather than a bookkeeping system — it does not remember what you billed last month.

How do I get a PDF rather than a printed page?

Press Make PDF, and in the print dialog change the destination to "Save as PDF" or "Microsoft Print to PDF". Every modern browser has that built in.

Can my client edit the PDF easily?

A print-to-PDF invoice is a laid-out document, not a form. Anyone determined can alter most PDFs; that is true of every invoice tool at any price. What matters is that your copy and the numbers are consistent, which is easier to keep true when you are not retyping hours by hand.

Where are my details stored?

In this browser's local storage on this device. Clearing site data removes them, which is the same trade-off that keeps them private. Nothing is transmitted.

Does it work offline?

Once the page is open, yes — there are no requests for it to fail. The $14 version is a file you keep, so it starts offline too, from a USB stick if you like.

Can I do recurring invoices?

Not here. Reuse your details, change the number and the date. The full app keeps client rates and unbilled hours so the next invoice is assembled for you.

Honest limits

This is a form and a print stylesheet. It will not chase late payers, convert currencies, hold a ledger, reconcile payments, or produce anything resembling accounting advice. If your invoicing needs those, use accounting software — and if it needs a fast offline way to log hours and bill them, the full FreelanceDesk is running on this site and costs $14 once as a file from the store.

Wondering whether one invoice at a time is enough, or whether a subscription is the right call? What offline invoicing can and cannot do sets out both sides without a sales pitch.
