Creating an invoice should be quick.
But too often it turns into account creation, subscriptions, and tools that feel heavier than the task itself.
If you just need to send a clean invoice, get paid, and move on, this guide is for you.
When you just need an invoice, fast
This situation is common:
- You finished a job
- You need to invoice a client today
- You do not want to sign up for software
- You want a file that actually looks professional
The good news is you can do all of that directly in your browser.
What a good invoice actually needs
You do not need accounting software for most invoices.
At minimum, a professional invoice should include:
- Your business or personal details
- Client details
- Invoice number and date
- Line items with quantities and prices
- Tax if required
- A clear total
- Payment instructions
That is it.
Everything else is optional.

Why this tool works well
This tool is designed for real-world use, not accounting demos.
A few things it does especially well:
-
Multiple formats
Download your invoice as PDF, Word, or Excel depending on what your client prefers. -
Tax handling that makes sense
Add GST, VAT, WHT, or any custom tax. Mark it as included in prices or added on top. -
Currency flexibility
Use NZD, AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, or define your own currency and symbol. -
Clean layout
The PDF and Word files are formatted for sending and printing, not spreadsheets disguised as invoices. -
Privacy first
Everything runs locally in your browser. Client data never leaves your device.
A few practical tips
These small details make invoices easier to deal with:
- Use a simple invoice number format you can repeat later
- Add a due date, even if it is just 14 days
- Put the invoice number in your payment reference text
- Name the file clearly, for example:
invoice-042-acme-ltd.pdf
These save time later when following up payments.
Save your setup for next time
If you invoice regularly, you can export your entire setup as a small JSON file.
This includes:
- Your details
- Line items
- Tax settings
- Even your uploaded logo
You can import it later and start from the same layout without re-entering everything.
Nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.
Who this is best for
This tool is especially useful if you are:
- A freelancer or contractor
- A small business owner
- Sending occasional invoices
- Working with international clients
- Tired of signing up just to send one invoice
If you need a fast, clean invoice without friction, this keeps it simple.
