Free Online Invoice Generator

The big difference between an invoice and a receipt is that the former is a request and the latter is proof. An invoice essentially serves as the request for an amount owed and the receipt is the proof of payment—much like a receipt you might receive from a grocery shop.

The best way to start is by using one of our thousands of customizable templates and making it your own. Keep in mind the following essential information to include in your invoice so:

• The names and contact information of both parties involved

• The invoice number and any other important numbers or codes

• A description of the work done

• The quantity of assignments completed

• The payment terms and timeline

• The fee that’s being charged

Sending an invoice online is easy, thanks to our endless sharing and exporting options. Download your invoices as a PNG, PDF, or JPEG file for easy emailing, or simply share a view-only link to your invoice so clients can view it securely on Canva. From emails to DMs and text, ensure your business skills shine as you send.

As an invoice is sent as an attachment, they do not need to be signed. Unless your business requires it, all you need to do is sign the email or text that you’re sending it with.

On the editor, simply click the “Print letterhead” button in the upper right corner. Then, select your paper type and the number of copies you need. Standard shipping is completely free and arrives on your doorstep within 5-8 business days (depending on where you are in the world).
