12 Best Free Invoice Generators

What are invoice generators?

Invoice generators are online tools that allow you to create invoices within your web browser.

They follow a template to ensure you don’t forget to include important details when filling out your invoices. They are not like invoicing/time-tracking apps like FreshBooks or Zoho Invoicing because invoice generators are single-purposed: They simply help you create an invoice and do not have any advanced features like time-tracking, financial accounting, and team collaboration.

Think of invoice generators as Internet-enabled alternatives to desktop-software invoice templates that are commonly used in Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat or other desktop publishing software. Check out these free invoice creators:

1. invoiceto.me

3. Free Invoice Generator

Free Invoice Generator doesn’t store any data on their web servers; they use an HTML5 feature called Web Storage that allows developers to store complex data in your browser without the need for external web servers and databases. Aside from data privacy, what makes this feature awesome is if you accidentally close your browser, your invoice details will still be retained so you don’t have to start over.
