The basics

Proforma invoice vs invoice

A proforma is an offer

It shows the expected price and terms before the sale is final. It is not a demand for payment, and it is usually not recorded as a sale in your accounts.

The invoice is the final bill

Once the goods are delivered or the work is done, send an invoice. In the generator, change the document type to Invoice. Your items and details stay.

In India with GST? The GST invoice generator makes a GST proforma invoice that shows GST as an estimate and converts to a tax invoice in one click.

Questions, answered

Is this invoice generator really free?

Yes. Make as many invoices, quotes and receipts as you like and download them as PDFs. There is no signup, no trial and no paid plan.

Can I add VAT or sales tax?

Yes. Add up to two taxes, each with its own name and rate (for example VAT 20% or GST 5% + PST 7%). Tax is worked out on the amount after any discount. You choose the rate: the generator doesn’t know the tax rules of your country, so check what applies to you.

I’m in India and registered for GST. Which tool should I use?

Use the GST invoice generator. It checks GSTINs, splits tax into CGST + SGST or IGST from the place of supply and adds the details a tax invoice needs. The simple invoice is not a GST tax invoice. GST invoice generator

Can I make a quote, receipt or proforma invoice?

Yes. Choose the document type (invoice, quote, estimate, proforma invoice or receipt) and the title, dates and totals change to match. “New” starts the next one with your details already filled in.
