FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this invoice generator really free?

Yes — completely. There are no paid tiers, no watermarks, no export limits and no account to create. The entire tool runs in your browser, so there are no server costs to pass on to you.

How do I save my invoice as a PDF?

Click Download PDF (or press ⌘/Ctrl + P). Your browser's print dialog opens with a clean stylesheet applied — choose Save as PDF as the destination. The text stays selectable and vector-sharp, and file sizes are typically under 200 KB.

Is my client data private?

Yes. There is no backend. Invoice fields are saved only in your browser's local storage so you don't lose work on refresh. Clearing your browser data removes them permanently.

Can I use this invoice for VAT, GST or sales tax?

Absolutely. Set any tax rate, add your Tax/VAT ID in the business section, and include bank or IBAN details. Discounts can be applied as a percentage or a flat amount before tax.

Which currencies are supported?

GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, CHF, JPY and AED are built in. Amounts format with two decimals and thousands separators automatically.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The layout stacks form and preview vertically on small screens, and the sticky action bar keeps export one tap away.

The invoicing handbook

Free invoice generator that turns a browser into a billing desk

An invoice is more than a request for payment. It is a legal record, a cash-flow tool and a piece of your brand, and a badly built one delays the money you are owed. This free invoice generator builds a clean, professional invoice in under a minute: add your business details, the client's, the line items, tax and any discount, and download a crisp PDF ready to send.

Three templates cover the common cases, from a minimal modern layout to a corporate blue and a bold dark option. Tax and discount maths is handled for you, line totals update as you type, and your logo can be dropped in to keep the invoice on brand. Everything is generated locally, so the PDF is produced by your browser rather than downloaded from a server.

Because nothing is uploaded, the client names, addresses, rates and amounts on the invoice never leave your device. Freelancers billing a confidential client, agencies invoicing under an NDA and contractors handling personal data can all bill with confidence.

Quick answer

An invoice generator creates a professional PDF invoice in the browser. ToolGuest offers three templates, automatic tax and discount calculation, logo upload and instant PDF export, with all data kept on your device. It is free, needs no signup and carries no ads or tracking.

Why it matters

Why a clean invoice gets you paid faster

A confusing invoice is an excuse to delay. When a client cannot find the total, the due date or the payment details, the invoice lands in a pile and waits. A well-structured invoice with a clear header, itemised lines, an obvious total and a prominent due date removes every reason to hesitate.

Getting the numbers right protects both sides. Tax must be applied correctly, discounts must be shown transparently and line totals must add up. Manual arithmetic invites errors that either shortchange you or annoy the client. A generator that calculates tax and discount automatically removes that risk.

Privacy and ownership matter as much as presentation. Many online invoicing services store your client list and your rates on their servers, sometimes as the price of a free tier. Generating the PDF locally means your billing data never becomes someone else's asset, and the document carries no third-party watermark.

Three professional templates

Choose minimal, corporate or bold dark layouts and switch between them without re-entering a single field.

Automatic tax and discount

Percentage or flat discounts and configurable tax rates are calculated for you, with the breakdown shown clearly.

Your logo, your brand

Drop in a logo and the invoice carries your identity rather than a generic layout.

Instant PDF export

Download a crisp, print-ready PDF the moment the numbers are right, with no email step or account.

No watermark, ever

The exported PDF is clean, with no branding from the tool forced onto your document.

100% client-side

Your client details and rates are processed locally and never uploaded, stored or logged.
