Everything you need to know about Free Invoice Maker.
How do I create an invoice?
Open the invoice editor. Add your business and client details, line items, dates, currency, and payment instructions. Check the totals and Preview, then choose Download PDF. You do not need an account.
Where are my drafts saved?
Local drafts are saved in this browser on this device. Return using the same browser to keep editing. Clearing site data, using private browsing, or switching devices can make those drafts unavailable. Download a PDF or export a copy for your records.
How do I change the design?
Choose a built-in template in the invoice editor, or open Design to adjust your invoice’s fonts, colors, margins, and layout. Review the PDF before sending it.
Can I use bullets and numbered lists in line items?
Yes. Open the list controls for a line item’s description, choose a bullet or number style, and use the indent controls to group supporting details. The list formatting is included in the preview and PDF.
How do I use formulas?
Start a quantity or rate with = to calculate a value. For example, =1+1 gives 2 and =125*2 gives 250. Check the calculated amount before downloading.
What files can I import?
Import accepts DOCX, XLSX, CSV, JSON, IIF, QBO, and OFX files up to 10 MB. Files are uploaded for parsing when you choose Import. Review the extracted details before choosing Apply. PDF and image import are not available.
For currencies that do not use two decimal places, use Fill from text or a JSON invoice. Other file imports currently require a currency with two decimal places.
How does Fill from text work?
Paste rows or describe an invoice, then choose Read details to send that text for parsing. Pasted tables can be read without an account. Reading a prose description requires sign-in and an available text-reading service.
Review the result before choosing Apply details. Reading or cancelling does not replace your invoice’s contents.
Is my invoice data sent to a server?
Manual editing and PDF generation work locally in your browser. Importing a file, choosing Read details, or using account services sends the relevant data to the service. Loading pages also makes normal web requests. Optional analytics have a separate privacy choice.
What currencies and languages can I use?
Choose your invoice’s currency in the editor. Amounts use the currency’s decimal places and formatting. Public pages offer translated versions where a Page language control is shown; invoice editor controls are currently in English.
Is PDF download free?
Yes. Create invoices, choose from 17 built-in templates, and download PDFs without an account or credit card. Editors, previews, and exported documents do not show ads.
How do I send the invoice and get paid?
Download the PDF and attach it to an email to your client. Include your payment instructions, due date, and reference number. Contact us to confirm availability of account email delivery, online payments, or team access before subscribing.
Can I use the XML exports for electronic invoicing?
XML exports need checking against your recipient’s required format and local rules before submission. Exporting XML does not send an invoice through Peppol or create a certified hybrid PDF. Use the PDF for a readable copy and confirm the required submission process with your recipient.
