Create a PDF invoice without invoicing software

When you issue a handful of invoices a month, a subscription to invoicing software is out of proportion. Freelancers, sole traders, very small businesses, associations and occasional landlords therefore end up cobbling together a template in a spreadsheet or a word processor: the layout shifts from one version to the next, a total gets forgotten when a line is added, and the result doesn't look very professional. A dedicated form that outputs a clean PDF straight away removes both problems at once.

Then there is the one-off invoice: an exceptional job outside your usual activity, a re-billing of expenses, a reimbursement between organisations, a single sale. You need a presentable document once, not a management tool. And for archiving, PDF remains the right choice: a stable format, readable in ten years without depending on the software that produced it, and accepted by every accountant.

Totals, VAT and numbering calculated for you

You first pick one of the four layouts — Classic, Modern, Minimal or Bold — and its accent colour, then fill in the issuer and the client, the invoice number, the issue and due dates, and finally your line items: description, quantity, unit price and VAT rate. The net total, VAT broken down by rate and the gross total are calculated automatically on every change — no more broken formula or manual addition. A preview of the PDF sits next to the form and refreshes as you type: what you see is exactly the file you will download, because the same engine produces both.

You can also import your logo (PNG, JPEG or WebP, resized automatically) and have a QR code printed that encodes the link of your choice — an online payment page, a website or a contact card — with a caption under the code. Legal mentions, payment terms and free-form notes remain yours to set. The document is generated on the fly at download time and is not kept: we store neither your invoices, nor your clients, nor your amounts.

Two good practices are worth repeating. Use continuous numbering with no gaps, for example 2026-001, 2026-002: it is a requirement under most tax regimes and it will spare you awkward questions. And always keep your own copy, since nothing is retained on our side. After that, the merge tool lets you attach a signed quote, a delivery note or expense receipts to the invoice, the sign tool adds your signature, and the protect tool locks it with a password before sending. As always on pdfOutils: no account required, no watermark added, and your files are automatically deleted from the server after processing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a PDF invoice for free?

Pick a template, enter your details and your client's, then add the line items with quantity, unit price and VAT rate: the subtotal, VAT and total are computed automatically. The preview updates as you type, and you download the PDF once everything looks right.

Can I add my logo and a payment QR code?

Yes. You can import a logo in PNG, JPEG or WebP format (2 MB max), resized automatically. You can also encode a link as a QR code — payment page, website or contact card — with a caption of your choice printed under the code.

Which invoice templates are available?

Four distinct layouts: Classic (dark banner and structured table), Modern (accent rule and airy blocks), Minimal (typography only, no colour fills) and Bold (full-colour header). Each template's accent colour is customisable.

Is my invoicing data stored?

No. The invoice is generated on the fly and the file is then automatically deleted from our servers: no client data, no amounts and no history are kept. No account is required.

Is Créer une facture PDF really free?

Yes, this tool is 100% free with no usage limits. No sign-up, no credit card and no watermark added to your documents.
