MakeMyInvoice
Simple, free invoice generator for freelancers.
About MakeMyInvoice
What it does
MakeMyInvoice generates a PDF invoice in under two minutes. The workflow is: fill in client details, line items, currency, and tax rate, then download the finished PDF. It supports multiple currencies, so billing a client in euros or Canadian dollars requires no manual document formatting.
Who it suits
The tool fits occasional invoicers — a graphic designer sending three invoices a month, a consultant on a single contract, or anyone who needs a one-off invoice without committing to QuickBooks Self-Employed or FreshBooks. Freelancers sending more than a handful of invoices monthly will find it insufficient, and any accountant trying to reconcile client revenue from this tool will be working off saved PDFs alone.
Setup and integrations
No account is required to use MakeMyInvoice. There is no dashboard, no client list, and no recurring billing setup. It connects to nothing — there is no bank feed connection and no way to pull invoice data into Xero or QuickBooks.
Where it falls short
MakeMyInvoice stores nothing between sessions, so each invoice is rebuilt from scratch. There is no payment status tracking, no late payment reminders, and no connection to a bank feed. The manual rework becomes exhausting for anyone running a real client load.
Best for

Pros & Cons
Pros
- No account required — open the site, fill in the fields, download the PDF, and close the tab with zero data entry committed to a platform
- Multi-currency support lets freelancers bill international clients in their local currency without manual formatting
- Completely free with no invoice volume caps, no watermarks on exported PDFs, and no upgrade prompts
- Fast enough for a one-off invoice — the entire process from blank page to downloaded PDF takes under three minutes
- Customizable templates let you add a logo and adjust line items, which is adequate for sole traders who don't need branded invoice sequences
- No subscription overhead makes it a practical fallback when a primary invoicing tool like FreshBooks goes down or a freelancer needs a quick invoice outside their usual system
Cons
- No data persistence — every invoice starts from a blank form, so repeat clients require re-entering name, address, and payment terms every single time
- No payment tracking means you have no way to see which invoices are paid, overdue, or outstanding without maintaining a separate spreadsheet
- Zero integrations — invoice data cannot be pushed to QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or any accounting system, leaving reconciliation entirely manual
- No recurring invoice functionality, so retainer clients or subscription billing are not supported
- No audit trail or invoice numbering sequence managed by the tool, which creates compliance risk if sequential invoice numbers are required by local tax rules
- No client portal or delivery mechanism — you download the PDF and email it yourself, with no read receipts or automated follow-up
Ledger Brief Take
A bare-bones invoice generator that does exactly what it promises — quick PDF invoices without the subscription overhead of QuickBooks or FreshBooks. The no-signup approach appeals to occasional invoicers, but anyone handling more than a few clients monthly will quickly hit the limits of this standalone tool that doesn't connect to accounting systems or track payment status.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions accountants ask about MakeMyInvoice.
Does MakeMyInvoice cost anything?
MakeMyInvoice is fully free with no paid tiers, no invoice limits, and no watermarks on exported PDFs. There is no free trial structure because there is nothing to upgrade to. The tool is free unconditionally.
Does MakeMyInvoice connect to QuickBooks or Xero?
No. MakeMyInvoice has no integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, or any other accounting platform. Invoices exist only as downloaded PDFs. If you need invoice data in your accounting system, you will enter it manually.
How does MakeMyInvoice compare to Wave or FreshBooks for freelancers?
Wave and FreshBooks both track payment status, store client records, and connect to bank feeds. MakeMyInvoice does none of those things. It produces a PDF faster with no signup, but it stops there. For anyone sending more than a few invoices monthly, Wave's free plan is the more practical choice.
Is invoice data saved between sessions?
No. MakeMyInvoice stores nothing. Each session starts with a blank form. If you need to reissue an invoice or create a revised version, you re-enter every field from scratch. There is no account, no invoice history, and no cloud storage.
Who actually benefits from using MakeMyInvoice?
Freelancers or contractors who invoice occasionally — fewer than five clients a month — and don't want to set up an accounting tool for a short engagement. It also works as a backup when a primary invoicing tool is unavailable and a client needs a PDF immediately.
Is it safe to enter client and payment details into MakeMyInvoice?
The site processes data to generate the PDF but stores no records after the session ends. That zero-retention model limits exposure, but there is no published security policy or compliance certification to verify. Avoid entering bank account numbers or sensitive payment credentials into the form.
