About Invoice Generator — Free Online Tool
Invoice Generator turns a list of line items into a numbered PDF invoice addressed from your business to a client, and writes a JSON file of the same figures beside it.
Items go in one per line as "Description | quantity | unit price" or as a JSON array, and each row becomes quantity × unit price. The order of the arithmetic is fixed: line amounts are summed, a discount percentage comes off that subtotal, the tax rate applies to what remains, shipping is added, and anything already paid is subtracted to leave a balance. The rate and its label are typed by you and nothing is looked up for any country, so the total is only as correct as the rate you enter — this is arithmetic on your own numbers, not tax or accounting advice, and it does not check the invoice against any jurisdiction's invoicing rules. The document is drawn with pdf-lib in its built-in Helvetica, so amounts print as a three-letter code such as INR 1,200.00 instead of a currency symbol, the header is text with no logo or signature image, and the currency list is the eight it supports: INR, USD, EUR, GBP, AED, AUD, CAD and SGD.
Both files are built in the browser. Client names, addresses, rates and bank details stay on the device — nothing is posted to this site, and no copy of the invoice is kept anywhere you would have to delete later.
Billing a freelance project with hourly lines, invoicing a one-off sale, re-issuing an invoice with a corrected rate, and keeping the JSON beside each PDF so a year of billing can be read back as data.

When to use it
An itemised document that is numbered, dated and clear about what is owed is what a client needs to approve a payment and what you need in your own records.
How it works
Multiplies each line by its quantity, takes the discount off the subtotal, applies the tax rate you typed to what remains, adds shipping and subtracts anything already paid — then draws the PDF and a matching JSON file in your browser.
Eight Currencies
INR, USD, EUR, GBP, AED, AUD, CAD and SGD. Amounts print as a three-letter code, such as INR 1,200.00, because the document uses a built-in font with no currency symbols.
