Receipt Caker

Free Invoice Generator

An invoice is the document a seller sends to ask a customer for payment, listing the work or goods, the amounts, and the terms. Receipt Caker's free invoice generator lays out your business and the client, a line for each item with quantity and price, tax, totals and a due date, then exports a clean PNG or PDF. It runs in your browser with no sign-up and nothing to install.

How do I make a free invoice?
Receipt Caker makes an invoice free in your browser: add your business and the client, an invoice number and date, each item with a quantity and price, and the tax, and the live preview totals it. Export a free PNG or upgrade for a PDF. No account is needed.

What goes on an invoice

An invoice asks a customer for payment and doubles as the record of the sale for both sides. A complete one names your business and the client, carries a unique invoice number and an issue date, and lists each item or service with its quantity, unit price, and line total. Below the lines it shows the subtotal, any tax, and the grand total due, then the payment terms, a due date, and how you would like to be paid.

Receipt Caker structures all of these fields and totals the lines as you type, so the invoice you send is complete and easy for the client to pay. Where you are tax-registered, add your tax number and the tax breakdown, and the preview folds them into the total.

Free to build, nothing to install

You can build a full invoice and export it as a PNG without paying or creating an account, so a one-off invoice costs nothing. The generator runs in your browser, which is why there is no sign-up in the way and nothing to download. Your figures stay on your own device while you work, because nothing you type is uploaded.

A Pro upgrade adds conveniences for people who invoice often, such as PDF export and saved business details, but the core job of laying out a professional invoice and getting an image of it stays free. The free path never asks you to register.

From invoice to paid

Setting clear terms is what gets an invoice paid on time. State the due date plainly (on receipt, or Net 15, 30, or 60 from the issue date) and make the total and payment method easy to find. If a payment runs late, a short, factual reminder that references the invoice number usually does the job.

Pair the invoice with the due date calculator to set the deadline, the invoice total calculator to check the tax and discount maths, and the late fee calculator if an account slips overdue. Build the invoice here, export a PNG for free or a Pro PDF, and send it however you already reach the client.

Invoice vs receipt: which do you need?

An invoice and a receipt sit on opposite sides of the same transaction. You send an invoice before you are paid: it requests payment for work done or goods delivered and sets the terms, the due date, and the amount owed. A receipt comes after the money changes hands and confirms that the balance is settled, which is what a buyer files for their expenses or taxes.

If a client still owes you, reach for this invoice generator. If they have already paid and need proof, the receipt generator is the right tool. Receipt Caker builds both from the same live editor, so you can raise the invoice now and issue the matching receipt once it clears.

Add your logo and branding

A tidy, branded invoice reads as more professional and is easier for a client to recognise among their bills. Even as a freelancer or a small shop, putting your own name, details, and logo on the document signals that the request is legitimate and worth paying promptly.

The free generator produces a clean, well-structured invoice with your business details already in place. Upgrading to Pro lets you upload your own logo and save your business profile, so every invoice you raise carries the same branding without re-entering it each time.

Export as a PNG or PDF

When the preview looks right, one click renders the invoice straight to your device. A free export comes out as a high-resolution PNG image, which is easy to attach to an email or drop into a message, and it is uneditable, so the figures you send are the figures the client sees.

Pro unlocks a print-ready PDF, the format most accounting and expense tools expect, and removes the watermark. Both formats are generated in the browser from the same live preview, so the fonts, spacing, and totals match exactly and nothing you typed is uploaded on the way out.

Frequently asked questions

Is this invoice generator really free?
Yes, you can build a complete invoice and export it as a PNG image without paying or creating an account, so a one-off invoice costs nothing. The generator runs entirely in your browser, which is why there is no sign-up wall in the way. A Pro upgrade adds conveniences such as PDF export and saved details for people who invoice regularly, but the core job of laying out a professional invoice and getting an image of it is free. Nothing you type is uploaded, so your figures stay on your own device while you work.
What should an invoice include?
A complete invoice names your business and the client, carries a unique invoice number and an issue date, and lists each item or service with its quantity, unit price, and line total. Below the lines it shows the subtotal, any tax, and the grand total due, along with the payment terms and a due date, plus how you would like to be paid. Where you are tax-registered it should also show your tax number and the tax breakdown. Receipt Caker structures all of these fields and totals the lines for you, so the invoice you send is complete and easy for the client to pay.
Do I need an account to create an invoice?
No, you can open the generator and build an invoice straight away, with no account, email, or download required. Because the tool works in the browser and keeps your data on your device, there is nothing to register for before you start. That makes it quick for a one-off invoice or for anyone who would rather not hand over their details to yet another service. If you invoice often and want your business details and logo remembered between invoices, the Pro upgrade saves them, but it is optional and the free path never asks you to sign up.
Can I set payment terms like Net 30?
Yes, you can state how and when you expect to be paid and set a due date on the invoice. Common terms are Net 15, Net 30, and Net 60, which mean payment is due within that many days of the issue date, and you can also mark an invoice as due on receipt for immediate payment. Spelling out the terms in writing on the invoice sets a clear expectation and gives you something to point back to if a payment runs late. If you would rather not count the days yourself, the due date calculator works out the exact date from your issue date and terms, so the figure on the invoice is right.
Can I add my logo and branding to the invoice?
The free invoice is already clean and professionally structured, with your business name, the client, itemized lines, tax, and totals laid out clearly, so it reads as a proper business document without any logo. Adding your own uploaded logo, along with saved business details that carry over between invoices, is part of the Pro upgrade for people who bill regularly and want every invoice to match their brand. Whether you use the free layout or add a Pro logo, the structure and the maths stay the same, so the client always gets an invoice that is easy to read and easy to pay.
What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
An invoice is a request for payment: you send it before you have been paid to tell a client what they owe, listing the work or goods, the amounts, the terms, and a due date. A receipt is proof of payment: you issue it after money has changed hands to confirm what was paid and when. In a normal job the invoice comes first and the receipt follows once the client settles it. Receipt Caker covers both, so you can raise an invoice here to get paid and switch to the receipt maker to give the customer their proof afterwards, using the same details.
