- Multiple templates (incl. Stripe-style)

- Mobile-friendly

Would love feedback, contributions, or ideas for other templates/features.

Something worth considering: the e-Rechnung directive enforcing b2b invoices with standardised metadata. They're becoming mandatory in Germany and I think they already are in some other EU countries.

Yep, thanks for the heads-up. It’s already planned: https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf/issues/121

=)

Wow well done!

Are you planning to turn this into a full-fledged CRM of some sort? Are you planning to add user login with templates/company fields auto-populated at one point? Looks very clean, congrats.

Thanks! Appreciate it. No plans for that at the moment - I mainly built it for my own use =)

Why would you do something like this instead of using a cheap script from a codecanyon-type website (a true CRUD crm) where you can collect customer data and provide complete service in the long run? Just saying this because you said you built it for your own use.

I actually hadn’t heard of Codecanyon before! I used to use a paid invoicing service, but these days I just need a simple way to generate invoice PDFs - that’s really all I need.

You can use invoice generators that have complete control over your customers. Most scripts are php, and if you want something very detailed I'd go with Perfex. Codecanyon is the biggest code marketplace on the internet, owned by Envato.

I think this is amazing. I work in the construction sector and there are so so so many small one-man tradesperson companies that need to know about this.

Thank you. Appreciate it

Nice! I recently built an invoice generator (not open sourced) for my own needs. I built mine because I needed something when I discontinued a SaaS that had provided it. Mine is written in C# and uses a JSON file to define the contents of the invoice. It's run from the command-line and just produces the PDF.

Very cool :)

I wonder if you could just send invoices to Comcast for price increases to their Payable Accounts department and if they'd just pay them. Or just invoice companies for "inconvenience fees" of sorts when they actually create inconveniences.

If you're targeting the EU, you might want to look into PEPPOL.

Thank you, will look into this. I have plans adding e-invoice support - https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf/issues/121

We should talk; I'm doing the same thing except U.S.-focused.

Sounds great - feel free to email me at [email protected]

Nice to see you're also AGPL-3.0 too.

Yep, AGPL-3.0 for open-source use, and a commercial license is available as well.

How are you planning to generate revenue? My concern will fully free services is that they often don't exist after 3-4 years. Then I have to find another invoice generator. Sticking to WaveApps for now, but this is looking great actually and I'd consider using it.

It’s completely open-source, so it’s easy to fork and self-host if you want to avoid lock-in. I originally built it for myself and don’t have plans to monetize it. Even if I do in the future, the current version will always stay free and without sign-up. Any monetization would come as a separate pro version with extra features, not by removing what’s already available =)

Great site and idea, thank you.

I also built a free and open-source invoice generator, no signup and no ads.

Tangent discussion if I may. This is the first I've ever seen gitAds, And well, I'm not even sure what I want to ask:

* Wouldn't github disapprove of it?

* The website doesn't give a ton of credibility to it (e.g. the user story slider) and I couldn't find much from a cursory web search on it. Do you find them trustworthy?

* Are you even finding it valuable?

I have found them on X.com

This is the project from those guys https://x.com/githubprojects

They launched this new product, GitAds, a couple of months ago, and I decided to give it a try.

GitHub doesn’t seem to mind, and GitAds seems trustworthy, but I don’t see much value in having their ads in my repo, so I might remove them soon =)

I’m working on a free & open-source invoice generator:

- Live PDF preview

- 100% client-side

- No sign-up required

- Includes a Stripe-style invoice template

- Built with modern web tech – simple to self-host or fork

Seems to work well. The live preview workflow is nice. I like data URLs but not sure how other people feel handling several-hundred character URLs.

Only minor gripe is that the "support my work" popup is a bit aggressive.

Thanks for the feedback!

The long URL is a compromise that lets the service work without requiring sign-ups or storing user data.

I’ll definitely try to make the “support my work” popup less aggressive.

I think you could cut the URL length in half if you remap the JSON keys before compressing. Like turning

  "total": 18,
  "vatTableSummaryIsVisible": true,
  "paymentMethod": "wire transfer",
  "paymentMethodFieldIsVisible": true,
  "paymentDue": "2025-08-27",
  "stripePayOnlineUrl": "https://example.com",
  "notes": "Reverse charge",
  "notesFieldIsVisible": true,
  "personAuthorizedToReceiveFieldIsVisible": false,
  ...
  

to this

  "1": 18,
  "2": 1,
  "3": "wire transfer",
  "4": 0,
  "5": "2025-08-27",
  "6": "https://example.com",
  "7": "Reverse charge",
  "8": 1,
  "9": 0,
  ...

Cut from ~1400 to ~700 chars in my testing, which is still a lot, so idk if you think it would be worth the extra code.

Awesome idea, thank you, will look into this

I’m working on a free and open-source invoice generator with live PDF preview — fully browser-based, no sign-in required.

It supports multiple languages, currencies, European VAT deductions, and more.

I built this tool for myself so it’s kinda like a personal software. Hopefully, others will find it useful too :)

I'll like to use it but it is limited on currency options.

I built a free and open-source invoice generator with a live PDF preview that runs in your browser.

It supports multiple currencies, VAT tax deductions, and lets you download PDFs in multiple languages (English and Polish for now, with more coming soon). You can also share your invoice by clicking “Generate a link to invoice” button.

Try it out: https://easyinvoicepdf.com/

Check it out on GitHub as well:

Would love to hear your feedback =)

I built something similar for myself, but with a live PDF preview, support for downloading PDFs in multiple languages (English and Polish), VAT tax deductions, and multiple currencies.

Also it’s open-source https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf

Would love to receive any feedback as well :)

Nice work, this looks better than the established players in this space! You've got some customisation options in yours that I'd love to implement in mine as soon as time permits. Huge props for not forcing people to sign up for an account to use it!

Thank you =)
