Built a free invoice generator with no invoice cap and no watermark (100% browser-based)

Every freelance invoicing tool I looked at had the same catch — free tier caps you at 3-5 invoices a month, or the PDF ships with a watermark until you subscribe. For something as basic as billing a client, that felt excessive.

Built one without the catch:

  • Logo upload, client details, up to 50 line items with live-calculating totals
  • Flat or itemized tax (same math as the GST Calculator — handles India's mixed GST slabs)
  • Discounts, fixed or percentage, applied before or after tax
  • 10 currencies with correct locale formatting
  • 3 templates (Minimal, Modern, Classic) → matching PDF via pdf-lib, or direct print
  • Drafts autosave to localStorage — nothing uploaded, no account

No cap, no watermark, free forever.

If there's a currency or tax scenario I'm missing, let me know — happy to add it.
