Free Invoice Creator — make an invoice in one minute

How to create an invoice with this free invoice creator

This invoice creator tool builds a professional invoice while you type. Everything you enter on the left appears on the invoice on the right, and the math is done for you. When it looks right, download it as a PDF and send it to your client.

1. Add your business details. Enter your business name, address, email and phone. Upload your logo once; it is remembered for every future invoice.
2. Add your client. Type the client's name and billing address, or pick one you saved before. Add a separate shipping address only if goods are delivered somewhere else.
3. Check the invoice number and dates. The tool suggests the next number in sequence (for example INV-2026-004). Choose payment terms such as Net 30 and the due date fills in automatically.
4. List your line items. Describe each product or service, then add quantity and rate. For time-based work, switch on hourly billing so the columns read Hours and Hourly Rate.
5. Apply tax, discount, shipping and deposits. Tax and discount can be a percentage or a flat amount. If the client paid a deposit, enter it and the balance due updates.
6. Download the PDF. Click Download PDF and pick Save as PDF in the print window. Only the invoice is saved, with sharp text that prints cleanly.

What to include on an invoice

A clear invoice gets paid faster. Clients and their accounts teams look for the same few things, so make sure each one is present.

Section	What to include	Why it matters
Your details	Business name, address, email, phone, logo	Tells the client exactly who to pay
Client details	Client or company name and billing address	Lets their accounts team file it correctly
Invoice number	A unique, sequential number	Needed for tracking, tax records and reminders
Dates	Issue date, due date or payment terms	Sets the deadline you can follow up on
Line items	Description, quantity or hours, rate, amount	Shows what the client is paying for
Totals	Subtotal, discount, tax, shipping, total, balance due	Removes any doubt about the amount
Payment details	Bank transfer, card, PayPal or other methods	Makes paying you as easy as possible

Invoice creator features

No sign-up, no watermark, unlimited invoices

There is no account to create and no trial that runs out. Make as many invoices as you need; none of them carry our branding.

Deposits, partial payments and the PAID stamp

Record a deposit and the invoice shows the amount paid and the balance still due. When the client pays in full, switch on the PAID stamp and download the same invoice as a payment record.

Hourly billing for freelancers and contractors

Freelancers, consultants and contractors can bill by the hour. One switch changes the columns to Hours and Hourly Rate, and the totals still calculate automatically.

Three layouts and your brand color

Choose Classic, Modern or Minimal and set an accent color that matches your logo. You can also rename labels, for example "Invoice" to "Tax Invoice" or "Item" to "Service".

30+ currencies

Bill in US dollars, euros, pounds, Canadian or Australian dollars, rupees, dirhams and more. Amounts are formatted the right way for each currency.

How to number your invoices

Every invoice needs its own number, and the numbers should run in order with no repeats. A simple format is a prefix, the year and a counter: INV-2026-001, INV-2026-002 and so on. This tool reads the last number you used and suggests the next one each time you click New invoice. You can change it at any time, and the next suggestion follows your new pattern.

Payment terms explained

Term	Meaning	Common for
Due on receipt	Pay as soon as the invoice arrives	Small jobs, new clients
Net 7 / Net 15	Pay within 7 or 15 days	Freelancers, contractors
Net 30	Pay within 30 days	Business-to-business work
Net 45 / Net 60	Pay within 45 or 60 days	Large companies, retail

Shorter terms usually mean faster payment. If you accept a deposit up front, say so in the notes and record it in the Payment section so the balance is clear.

Invoice vs receipt vs quote

A quote or estimate is sent before the work, so the client can approve the price. An invoice is sent after the work, to ask for payment. A receipt confirms that payment arrived. With this tool you can send the invoice, then mark it PAID and send the same document again as proof of payment.
