Updated
TidyPapers is a free invoice generator with no account, no watermark and no invoice cap: download a PDF in EUR, USD or GBP, add VAT or other tax lines, and type hours as 1:30 or 1.5.
Bill quantity or hourly work on the same invoice. Type hours however is fastest ("1:30", "1h 30m", "1.5") and see the decimal conversion instantly. No sign-up, no watermark. Just type directly into the invoice below.
Set your business details and taxes once and they're saved on your own computer. Next time you open a tool you don't re-enter them; you just update the hours or tasks and get your document in seconds. That saves real time compared to rebuilding an invoice from scratch each time.

Minutes vs. decimal hours: the invoicing pain point
Freelancers track time in minutes ("I worked 1 hour 30 minutes"), but invoices need decimal hours to multiply cleanly against an hourly rate: 1.5 × rate, not 1:30 × rate. Converting by hand ("30 minutes is... half, so 1.5") is a small but constant source of billing mistakes, especially across many line items or when totals need to add up exactly for a client who checks the math. This tool accepts whatever format is fastest to type ("1:30", "1h 30m", or "1.5") and converts it to decimal hours automatically, right on the line item, before it ever reaches the invoice total.
Is it free?
Yes. The invoice generator is free, with no sign-up and no invoice cap. Comparing apps? See whether the Invoice Maker app is free.
Can I mix hourly and fixed-price items on one invoice?
Yes. Each line item has its own Qty/Time toggle, so a flat design fee and hourly revision work can sit on the same invoice.
Is my data private?
Everything you type is processed in your browser and saved only in its local storage. It is never uploaded. We count anonymous page visits and button clicks.
Do I have to re-enter my details every time?
No. Your business details, VAT/tax ID, logo, and tax setup are saved in this browser. The client name and line items reset each time, so you never accidentally invoice the wrong client with old items.
Does this work the same way across all TidyPapers tools?
Yes. Your business details are saved in your browser on your device, and never sent anywhere. Next time you open any TidyPapers tool, they're already filled in, so you just update the hours or tasks and get your document.
How do I send the invoice to my client?
Click Download PDF, then attach the PDF to an email to your client. TidyPapers does not send emails for you.
How does my client pay me?
Your client pays you directly. Put your bank details or a payment link in the Notes box, and they print on the PDF. TidyPapers does not take payments.
What must an invoice include?
It depends on your country. In the UK, GOV.UK lists a unique invoice number, your name, address and contact details, your customer's name and address, a description of what you're charging for, the supply date, the invoice date, the amounts charged, any VAT, and the total owed.
Which currencies and taxes can I use?
Euro (EUR), US dollar (USD) and British pound (GBP). You can add up to four tax lines, such as VAT or sales tax, each with its own name and percentage.
