Every free invoice generator I could find either wants an account, watermarks the PDF unless you pay, or
quietly tracks what you type into it. So I built the version I actually wanted: no signup, no backend, no
tracking — just a static page.
Try it: https://crypled.github.io/quick-invoice/
How it actually works
It's a single HTML file. Business info, client info, line items with auto-calculated totals, tax %, notes.
Hit "Save as PDF" and it uses the browser's own print dialog — no PDF library, no dependency, no upload of
your data anywhere to generate the file.
Your draft autosaves to localStorage as you type, so a refresh doesn't lose your work, but that's also the
entire extent of where your data goes: nowhere else. There's no server to send it to. You can check that
claim yourself — the whole thing is ~350 lines.
Why I built this instead of another dev tool
I've been shipping developer tools lately, but "quote-to-invoice for solo freelancers/trades" kept coming up
in research as a real, still-unsolved pain point — people currently improvising with a Word template or an
Excel sheet they've been reusing for years. That's a genuinely different audience than most of what gets
built by devs for devs, which is exactly why I wanted to try it.
MIT licensed, free, hosted on GitHub Pages (so it costs nothing to keep running): https://github.com/CrypLed/quick-invoice
Would genuinely like to hear if this is missing something an actual freelancer/contractor needs day to day —
recurring invoices, multi-currency, something else entirely.
