Help
invoices.net makes invoices and 11 other business documents in your browser. You can use it without an account, or create a free one to save your work and email documents to clients. Here is how everything works.
Making an invoice
Open the invoice generator and fill in the template. Everything is calculated as you type.
- Your details: add your logo image and your business name and address under "Who is this from?".
- Your client: write their name and address under Bill To, and Ship To if goods are delivered elsewhere.
- Number and dates: the invoice number, date, payment terms and due date. The date fields open a calendar, and the due date offers quick picks such as 14 or 30 days.
- Line items: one line per product or service with its quantity and rate. Use the arrows to reorder lines and × to remove one.
- Discount, tax and shipping: add them under the subtotal. Discount and tax can be a percentage or a fixed amount; tax is calculated after the discount.
- Labels: click any label, such as "Tax" or "Bill To", to rename it, for example to VAT or GST.
- Currency: choose one of over 150 currencies in the Currency menu.
- Notes and terms: add payment instructions, bank details or a thank-you note.
Other documents. The same editor makes quotes, estimates, receipts, proforma invoices, credit notes, purchase orders, sales orders, account statements, timesheets, work orders and packing slips. Pick one from the footer, or from "New Invoice ▾" in My Invoices when signed in. Each has the right title and fields for its purpose.
Downloading and printing
Click Download to get a PDF of your document, ready to email, print or attach. Downloads are free and unlimited, and the PDF is created in your browser. Each page ends with a small "Made with invoices.net" line.

Without an account: History
You don't need to sign up. While you work, your document is saved automatically in your browser, and History lists every document you made there so you can open, download or delete it.
History is only stored in this browser on this device. Clearing your browsing data, using a private window or switching devices starts an empty History. To keep documents safe, choose Save in the editor: enter your email and we send you a link that saves the document to a free account.
With a free account
A free account adds:
- My Invoices: every document you save, with its status (Sent, Viewed, Paid, Overdue), a filter by customer, and CSV import and export.
- Customers: saved automatically from the Bill To of the documents you save, ready to pick in the editor.
- Items: the products and services you bill often, suggested as you type a line item.
- Sending: email documents to clients with a link they can open online, and see when they've viewed them.
- Any device: sign in from your phone or another computer and your documents are there.
Sending to your client
Save the document, then click Send. Check the email address, subject and message and send it: your client receives an email with a button to view the document online, where they can also download the PDF. Replies go to your own email address.
- 5 emails a month are included in the free account. After that, use Get link in the ⋯ menu and send the link yourself, or attach the PDF.
- Confirm your email first: we send a confirmation link when you sign up, and you can resend it from My Account.
- Viewed: the status changes the first time your client opens the document.
- Mark as Paid from the ⋯ menu when the money arrives, so you always know what's outstanding.
Customers, items and your documents
| To… | Do this |
|---|---|
| Reuse a customer | Choose them in the Customers menu above Bill To, or "New Invoice" from their ⋯ menu in Customers. |
| Reuse a product or service | Start typing in a line item's description and pick it from the list. To save a new one, choose "Save to my items" in that list, or add it in Items. |
| Copy a document | Open it and choose Duplicate in the ⋯ menu. It gets the next number. |
| Change a document | Open it and choose Edit in the ⋯ menu. |
| Delete a document | Choose Delete in its ⋯ menu. It moves to Deleted in My Invoices, shown as Voided, and can be restored. |
| Move to or from another tool | Use Export (CSV) and Import in My Invoices. |
Invoice numbers continue across all document types, so every document has its own number.

Frequently asked questions
Is invoices.net really free?
Yes. You can create and download as many invoices and other documents as you like, with or without an account. A free account also lets you save documents and customers and email up to 5 documents a month to your clients.
Do I need an account?
No. You can fill in a document and download the PDF without signing up. An account is only needed to save documents online, keep customers and items, and email documents to clients.
Where are my invoices stored?
Without an account, documents are kept only in your browser (see History) and never sent to us. With an account, the documents you save are stored on our servers so you can open them from any device.
Why did my History disappear?
History lives in your browser. Clearing your browsing data, using a private window, or switching to another browser or device starts with an empty History. Create a free account to keep documents safely online.
Can I change the words on the invoice?
Yes. Every label, such as "Bill To", "Tax" or "Payment Terms", can be clicked and renamed, so you can write VAT or GST instead of Tax, or use your own language.
Which currencies can I use?
Over 150 currencies. Pick one in the Currency menu next to the document; amounts and the PDF use its symbol, or its code (such as INR) when the PDF fonts have no symbol for it.
How many invoices can I send by email?
Free accounts can email 5 documents a month to clients. Downloading and sharing a link are unlimited, so you can always send the PDF or the link yourself.
How do I know if my client opened the invoice?
When you email a document from your account, or share its link, the status changes to Viewed the first time your client opens it. You can see it in My Invoices.
Can I remove "Made with invoices.net" from the PDF?
Not at the moment. It is a small line at the bottom of each page that keeps the service free.
How do I delete my account?
Open My Account from the menu with your name and choose Delete Account. Your account, documents, customers and items are deleted permanently.
