I’m working on a free and open-source invoice generator: https://easyinvoicepdf.com/?template=stripe

- No sign-up, works entirely in-browser

- Live PDF preview + instant download

- VAT EU support

- Shareable invoice links

- Multi-language (10+) & multi-currency

- Multiple templates (incl. Stripe-style)

- Mobile-friendly

GitHub: https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf

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

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.

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.

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 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.
