Free Receipt Maker
Compose a receipt section by section — header, merchant fields, line items, card or cash payment, barcode and gift card — with a live preview and PNG or PDF export.
- What is a receipt maker?
- Receipt Caker's receipt maker is a free, block-based online tool that builds a printable receipt image from scratch. You control every element — store header, date and time, custom merchant rows, line items, tax and tip, card or cash payment, a barcode and a gift-card line — and watch it render live before exporting a PNG or PDF. No signup is required for PNG exports.

Frequently asked questions
How is the receipt maker different from the receipt generator?
They share the same engine and live preview, but the receipt maker leans on building a receipt from an empty canvas with maximum control over every section, while the receipt generator starts you from a ready sample so you can edit and export quickly. In practice you can use either — both let you set the business header, add custom merchant rows like Store # or Terminal, list line items, choose card or cash payment, add a barcode and a gift-card line, and export a PNG for free or a watermark-free PDF on Pro. Pick the maker when you want to compose a layout deliberately, section by section.
Can I add custom fields and a barcode to my receipt?
Yes. The merchant-info section lets you add any number of custom label-and-value rows — Store #, Terminal, Order type, Server, Table, or anything your layout needs — and each prints under the store header exactly as typed. The barcode section toggles a thermal-style barcode on or off and lets you set its printed value, defaulting to the receipt number when left blank. You can also add an optional gift-card number and balance line. Every change appears instantly in the live preview so you can confirm the layout before exporting a PNG or PDF.
Is the receipt maker really free with no account?
Yes. You can open the receipt maker, build a full receipt, and download it as a PNG at no cost and without creating an account. Free PNG downloads carry a small Receipt Caker watermark that keeps the document clearly marked as generated. Upgrading to Pro removes the watermark, unlocks PDF export, adds custom-logo support, and enables API access for bulk generation. The entire builder — header, merchant fields, line items, tax and tip math, card and cash payment, barcode and gift card — is fully usable on the free tier, so you get a clean, accurate receipt without paying anything.
What can I legitimately use a made receipt for?
Made receipts are ideal for design mockups, receipt-printer and expense-software testing, bookkeeping placeholders, and reissuing a receipt for a genuine sale you actually made. Developers use them to preview thermal-printer layouts, and small businesses use them to reconstruct a lost proof of purchase for real record-keeping. Receipt Caker produces generic, non-brand receipts only. It must never be used to imitate a specific company or to create a document intended to deceive anyone — that would be fraud. Used honestly, a made receipt is a practical way to keep clean, itemised records.
