Answer-first
How do you make an invoice PDF without accounting software?
Fill in who is billing whom, list the work as line items, set a tax rate and payment terms, and the invoice is assembled as a US Letter PDF you can review and send. Numbering, subtotal, tax and total are calculated as you type, six currencies are supported (USD, EUR, GBP, UAH, CAD and AUD), and 25 templates cover the usual freelance, agency and small-business looks. The PDF is generated in your browser rather than on a server, so the client names and amounts on the invoice stay on your machine, and no account or card is needed to produce one.

How to create and send an invoice
- 01
Pick a template
Twenty-five layouts with live previews. The plainest ones read best when a finance team processes them; the branded ones suit direct client billing.
- 02
Add both parties and an invoice number
Your business details and the client’s, plus a unique invoice number and issue date. Sequential numbering is what makes an invoice traceable later, so pick a scheme and keep to it.
- 03
List the work and set terms
One line per deliverable with quantity and rate, then the tax percentage, any discount, the due date and how you want to be paid. Vague single-line invoices are the ones that get queried.
- 04
Generate, review and send
The PDF is built in the browser and opens in the editor, where you can correct wording, add a signature and export the final file to email to your client.
Right tool if…
- Freelancers and contractors who bill a handful of clients and do not need accounting software
- One-off or occasional invoices — a new client, a side project, a deposit request
- Anyone who wants a clean, consistent invoice PDF without setting up a subscription first
Reach for something else if…
- Bookkeeping: this produces a document, it does not track what has been paid, chase overdue invoices or feed your accounts
- Recurring automated billing or card payments, which need an invoicing or payments platform
- Country-specific tax documents with mandatory fields — an Australian tax invoice needs ABN and GST handling, which the dedicated AU generator covers
Common mistakes
Reusing the same invoice number
Duplicated numbers are the fastest way to have an invoice rejected or paid twice. Keep one sequence per business, never reset it mid-year, and never renumber an invoice you have already sent.
Leaving out the due date
An invoice with no date to pay by has no late payment. State the due date explicitly rather than relying on an assumed thirty days.
Describing the work in one word
Consulting for the amount owed invites questions from whoever approves it. Itemise deliverables, dates or hours so the invoice can be checked against what was agreed.
Guessing the tax treatment
Tax rate, exemptions, reverse charge and cross-border rules depend on where both parties are. The generator applies the percentage you enter — deciding the right one is a question for your accountant.
Questions people ask
Is this invoice generator free?
Yes. Filling in an invoice, generating the PDF and exporting it are free, with no account and no card. There is no watermark on the invoice.
What has to be on an invoice?
In practice: the word invoice, a unique number, the issue date, your business name and contact details, the client’s details, an itemised description of what is being charged, the amounts, any tax, the total due, the due date and how to pay. Some countries add mandatory identifiers such as a tax or company registration number.
Where is the PDF generated?
In your browser. The document is assembled locally with a PDF library, so the client names, rates and amounts on the invoice are not uploaded to build the file.
Can I edit the invoice after generating it?
Yes. The generated PDF opens in the BrieflyGo editor, where you can correct text, add a signature or annotation and export the final version. Note that work in the editor is not saved anywhere unless you are signed in, so export or save before you close the tab.
Which currencies are supported?
USD, EUR, GBP, UAH, CAD and AUD. The chosen currency formats every amount on the invoice, including the subtotal, tax and total.
How does the tax field work?
You enter a percentage and it is applied to the line-item subtotal, with the tax amount shown as its own row before the total. It applies one rate to the whole invoice — mixed rates on different lines need a proper invoicing or accounting product.
Can I use it for an Australian tax invoice?
Use the Australian tax invoice generator instead. A compliant AU tax invoice needs specific handling for ABN and GST that the general invoice does not provide.
Does it track whether the invoice was paid?
No. This produces the document. Recording payments, sending reminders and reconciling with your bank are bookkeeping jobs — if you need those, invoice from an accounting product and use this for one-offs.
How do I get paid faster?
Invoice the day the work is accepted, state a specific due date rather than net terms, put the payment details on the invoice itself, itemise the work so nothing has to be queried, and send it to the person who actually processes payments rather than only to your day-to-day contact.
