If a client asks for a price before you start work, you send a quote (also called an estimate) — not an invoice. The trouble is that most "free" quote tools want an account, email signup, or a monthly subscription just to download a PDF. The free quote generator makes a clean, professional quote PDF in your browser — no account, no watermark, nothing uploaded.
Quote vs estimate vs invoice — which one do you send?
These get mixed up constantly:
- A quote / estimate goes out before the work — it proposes a price and scope so the client can say yes.
- An invoice goes out after (or as work is delivered) to actually request payment.
- A receipt confirms the money arrived.
Send the wrong document and you look disorganised. This tool covers the first one; reach for the free invoice generator with tax and PDF download once the job is approved, and the payment receipt generator with a PAID stamp once you're paid.
What you can put on the quote
The generator covers what a real quote needs:
- Your details + logo — upload a PNG or JPEG and it's embedded in the PDF
- 24 currencies with the correct symbol (USD, EUR, GBP, INR, CAD, AUD, and more)
- Line items — description, quantity, and rate, with live totals
- Discount — percentage or a flat amount, shown as its own line before tax
- Tax — set your own rate and label (VAT, GST, Sales Tax) or leave it at 0%
- A "Valid Until" date — quotes expire, and stating it protects you if prices change
- Auto-incrementing quote numbers — QUO-001, QUO-002… (editable)
- Three PDF templates — Simple, Professional, and Minimal
Your name, address, logo, currency, and template preference are saved in your browser for next time, so the second quote takes seconds.
How to create a quote PDF
- Open the quote generator
- Enter your business details and upload your logo
- Add the client's details and your line items (description, quantity, rate)
- Set a discount and tax rate if they apply, and pick a Valid Until date
- Choose a template and click Download Quote PDF
Everything runs client-side — your prices, client names, and logo never leave your device.
A tip: always set an expiry date
Material costs, your availability, and exchange rates all move. Putting a Valid Until date on every quote (even "valid for 30 days") means you're never held to a number you quoted three months ago — and it gently nudges the client to decide.
