Invoice Generator is a free, browser-based tool for creating professional invoices with itemized line items, tax calculations, discounts, and payment terms. Unlike cloud-based invoicing services (FreshBooks, Wave, Zoho Invoice) that require accounts and store your data on external servers, this tool runs entirely in your browser. Your business details, client information, and financial data are never transmitted to any server. The PDF is generated locally using jsPDF, and your business template can be saved in localStorage for instant reuse. Ideal for freelancers, small business owners, contractors, and anyone who needs to issue professional invoices without monthly subscription fees or account creation.
A legally compliant invoice typically requires: Seller identification (business name, address, and tax registration number); Buyer identification (client name and address); Invoice number (unique, sequential identifier); Issue date and due date; Itemized list of goods or services with quantities, unit prices, and line totals; Tax breakdown (rate and amount); Total amount due; and Payment terms and instructions. Requirements vary by jurisdiction — some countries require specific fields like IBAN, VAT reverse charge notices, or digital signatures. Verify your local invoicing regulations before issuing formal invoices.
Essential terms and definitions related to Invoice Generator.
A commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, listing products or services provided, their quantities and prices, and the total amount owed. Invoices serve as a request for payment and as a legal record of a business transaction. They differ from receipts (which acknowledge received payment) and quotes (which are estimates before work begins).
Payment terms indicating the number of days a buyer has to pay an invoice after the invoice date. "Net 30" means payment is due within 30 days; "Net 15" within 15 days; "Due on Receipt" means immediate payment. Some businesses offer early payment discounts written as "2/10 Net 30" — a 2% discount if paid within 10 days, otherwise full amount due in 30 days.
Value Added Tax (VAT) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) are consumption taxes levied on the value added at each stage of production and distribution. VAT is used in Europe, the UK, and most of the world; GST is used in Australia, Canada, India, and others. Both work similarly — sellers collect the tax from buyers and remit it to the government. Registered businesses typically display their VAT/GST registration number on invoices.
No. All invoice data is processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your business name, client details, line items, and amounts never leave your device and are not stored on any server. The PDF is generated locally using jsPDF. Your draft is saved temporarily in localStorage so you do not lose work if you refresh, but it is only accessible from the same browser and is never uploaded.
Yes. Click the logo upload area in the invoice form to add your company logo. Supported formats are PNG, JPG, and SVG. The logo is embedded directly in the generated PDF. For best results, use a PNG with transparent background at least 200×200 pixels.
Yes. You can add multiple tax rates (VAT, GST, sales tax) as a percentage of subtotal, as a fixed amount, or as a compound rate applied after other taxes. The invoice automatically calculates subtotal, each tax amount, and grand total, displaying them in a clear breakdown section. You can also add discount lines (percentage or fixed amount).
Yes. After filling in your business details, you can save them as a template using the "Save as Template" button. Your business information (name, address, logo, payment terms) is saved in localStorage and auto-filled for future invoices. Client details can also be saved for frequently billed clients. All templates are stored locally in your browser.
You can enter any invoice number manually. Common formats include sequential numbers (INV-001, INV-002), year-prefixed (2024-001), or date-based (20240115-01). The generator does not auto-increment because it has no server-side state, but it suggests the next number based on your last saved invoice number stored in localStorage.
The generator produces a professional invoice layout that includes the standard fields required in most jurisdictions (invoice number, date, seller/buyer details, itemized charges, tax breakdown, totals). However, legal requirements for invoices vary by country — some jurisdictions require specific fields like VAT registration numbers, payment terms in specific formats, or electronic signature requirements. Verify your local invoicing requirements before using for formal business purposes.
Common errors developers encounter and how to resolve them.
Logo does not appear in the downloaded PDF Ensure the logo file is a standard JPEG or PNG (not WebP or HEIC). Large logo files (above 2MB) may cause issues — resize to 400×400px or smaller before uploading. SVG logos are converted to raster internally; if the result looks blurry, use a PNG version instead.
PDF download does not start Some browsers block automatic downloads. Check for a download popup or notification at the top of the browser window. If blocked, click "Allow" to permit the download. In Safari, the PDF may open in a new tab instead of downloading — use File → Save As to save it locally.
