Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions people ask most about creating invoices here.
How do I make my first invoice?
Go to the invoice generator, add your details and your client's, list what you are charging for, and select Download PDF. The how to make invoices chapter of our guide explains each part.
Is there a limit on how many invoices I can create?
No. Create as many invoices as you need, free of charge.
Will my PDF have a watermark or ads?
No. Your PDF contains only your invoice. Ads appear on some pages of the website, never in your documents.
Can I add my logo?
Yes. Click the logo area at the top left of the invoice and choose a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF image. It is resized automatically. Save your template to keep it for future invoices.
How does the invoice number work?
You can type any number or format you like. After you download an invoice, the next new invoice suggests the following number automatically. For example, INV-0042 is followed by INV-0043.
Can I edit an invoice I already downloaded?
Yes, from the same browser. Open My invoices, choose the invoice and select Open. Make your changes and download it again. If you already sent the original to your client, consider issuing a credit note instead of changing it.
Can I reuse an old invoice for a new one?
Yes. In My invoices, select Duplicate. You get a copy with a new number and today's date, ready to adjust.
Can I charge tax on some items but not others?
The tax line applies one rate to the whole invoice after any discount. If you need different rates on different items, you can create separate invoices, or ask your accountant how to show mixed rates under your country's rules.
Which currencies are supported?
Every currency in use today, plus a few special ones such as gold and Chile's Unidad de Fomento. Search by currency name, code, symbol or country. You can show amounts with a symbol (€) or with the code (EUR).
Can I use A4 or US Letter paper?
Both. Choose the paper size in the settings next to the invoice. We pick the usual size for your region to start with.
Can I make quotes, receipts or credit notes too?
Yes. Click the title at the top of the document and change it, for example to Quote or Receipt. You can rename any other label in the same way.
Does the site work offline?
Yes. After your first visit, the generator keeps working without an internet connection, including PDF downloads once you have downloaded at least one PDF online. On most phones and computers you can also install it from the browser menu, like an app.
Is my data safe?
Your invoices are created entirely in your browser. The names, prices and addresses you type are not sent to us or stored on our servers. Read our privacy policy for the details, including how ads and cookies work.
Why did my saved invoices disappear?
Saved invoices live in your browser's storage. They are removed if you clear your browsing data, use a private window, or switch to a different browser or device. That's why we recommend keeping every PDF you download.
Is an invoice from this site legally valid?
An invoice is valid because of what it contains, not the tool used to make it. If yours includes the details required in your country, it is a proper invoice. Check your tax authority's rules, especially if you are VAT- or GST-registered.
Can I use the site in another language?
Yes. Choose from 20 languages with the language button at the top of every page. The invoice labels switch to that language too, and you can still edit them.
