I built a 100% free, elegant invoice generator so you never run into the same awkward situation I did.

So here is the story.

Back in August/September, I had a 2 week freelance gig. After the work was done, I had to get paid, so they asked for an invoice.

But I was not prepared, because I had not freelance for long time ago...over 2 years more or less, and had no setup to make invoice.

So what did I do? Well like another human would, Googled “invoice generator” After going through all the sketchy ones I found one, it looked clean and useful.

The issue? The preview looked perfect, but the PDF they generated had a massive QR code and a bunch of promo links slapped at the bottom. didn’t notice, because the preview hid it. I sent it anyway. That’s on me. Two days later I opened the PDF…
Too late to fix it.

I introduce you to Ultra Omega Hyper God-Slayer Invoice Blaster X-5000. Yes, that's it's name.

Here’s what the invoicer can do:

  • Save your invoice or export it as a PDF
  • Print directly
  • Choose Inter or Geist font
  • Choose the color black or white ( I want to add more, so it's funky :-) )
  • Use simple freelance templates (starts with a clean white one)
  • Upload your logo (PNG/SVG/JPG)
  • Fill in full business details (name, email, phone, site, address, VAT/Tax ID)
  • Add client info (name, email, address, VAT/Tax ID)
  • Auto-generate invoice numbers
  • Add PO/reference numbers
  • Set issue/due dates
  • Choose currency
  • Add unlimited line items (description, qty, rate, tax)
  • Auto-calculates subtotal, tax, discounts, adjustments, and total
  • Add global tax, fixed discounts, or percentage discounts
  • Add shipping or other fees
  • Custom notes + payment instructions
  • Add a payment link
  • Add a footnote
  • Live preview that matches the final PDF

Hope you all like it. You can use it here anytime, it's free to use and free of watermarks, so it doesn't happen like it did to me, enjoy it.

Have a lovely day and thank you for reading :-)
