Making an invoice that gets paid
The Invoice Generator makes a professional invoice in your client's language and currency, adds up taxes, discounts, shipping and withholding in the right order, and gives you a PDF with no watermark. You can use it without an account: type your own invoice number and download the file.
An invoice needs six things to get paid on time: your business details, your client's details, a unique number with an issue date and a due date, a line for each thing you did or sold, the totals, and your payment details. The form asks for them in that order, and the preview shows exactly what the PDF will look like as you type.
The order of the sums is where invoices most often go wrong. A discount comes off first, tax is charged on what is left, shipping is added, and withholding tax, where a client deducts tax at source, comes off the net amount before tax. The generator follows that order, so the figure at the bottom is the amount your client should actually send.
Tax regions are built in for Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India, Pakistan and the EU, and you can leave tax off entirely if you are not registered. Items can be pasted straight from Excel or Google Sheets, one row per line, your logo goes on the page, and the paper size can be A4 or US Letter.
Good to know
A free account adds what matters once invoicing is a habit: business details and regular clients that are remembered, invoice numbers issued in an unbroken series, invoices that lock once issued, credit notes to correct them, and attachments such as timesheets or receipts bound into the same PDF.
A clear invoice is also the first step when a client pays late. Put the due date and your payment terms on it, keep the number unique, and send a polite reminder the day after the due date with the same invoice attached. Most late payments are an invoice sitting in someone's inbox, not a refusal to pay.
Before you send it, read the invoice once as your client will: check the client's legal name and address, the currency, the due date and the bank details, because those are the four things that most often send an invoice back. The PDF matches the preview exactly, so what you check on screen is what they receive.
The other tools on the site help with the paperwork around an invoice. Compress PDF shrinks a file that is too large to email, Merge PDF puts an invoice and a contract or delivery note into one file, and Image to Text reads the figures off a photographed receipt so you do not have to type them.
