Getting started

Is it free? Do I need an account?

QuickInvoice AU is free and requires no account. Create invoices, estimates and receipts in English, with 14 supported currencies. Ads may appear on public content when configured, outside the form and exported documents.

Which document should I create?

Use an estimate for proposed work, an invoice to request payment, and a receipt to record a payment received. Check the amounts and wording when changing document type; switching type does not change the work or payment already entered.

What do the dates mean?

Issue date is when the document is issued. An invoice can also have an optional Due date in Payment details, on or after the issue date. Receipts record a date and positive amount for each payment; choose a method or enter Other if needed. Entered dates appear in the preview and exported document.

Currency & tax

How do I choose a currency?

Open Document settings beside New document and Prefill sample data, then choose Currency. Changing it does not convert entered amounts. Price and payment fields identify the selected currency. Preview, print and PDF show numeric amounts, with the currency code in Total (AUD), or your selected code. Currencies use their standard decimal precision. Apply remembers currency, tax label, rate and document colour for new documents; Cancel leaves the draft unchanged. A restored draft keeps its own settings.

Does currency choose my tax rate?

No. AUD initially suggests GST wording; other currencies suggest Tax. Edit the label if needed. Currency does not choose your rate, tax registration or legal obligations. The rate is one setting per document, with 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% presets or a custom 0-100% rate to two decimals.

What is the difference between inclusive and exclusive prices?

With tax enabled, exclusive prices have tax added. Inclusive prices already contain tax, so the tool extracts it from the entered price. Turn Charge GST/Tax off when tax should not be charged. Per-item tax-free controls are not currently available. Existing drafts containing exemptions retain them until you confirm a reset; check the resulting totals.

Saving & numbering

Where are my details saved?

The active draft, reusable business profile and saved clients stay in this browser on this device. They do not sync between devices. Clearing browser data or using a private session can remove them. Keep exported PDFs with your own records; browser storage is not an invoice archive.

How do I save business details and clients?

Click Download PDF. Once the PDF is created and the download starts, business and client details are saved on this device. The business profile updates each time. A matching client name updates its saved details; matching ignores case and extra spaces. A different name saves a new client. Selecting a saved client copies its details into the draft. Removing a saved client deletes only that reusable record and keeps the current draft. Settings are separate, and exported documents are unchanged. Storage failures are reported without preventing the PDF download.

How do invoice numbers and new documents work?

Numeric invoice numbers advance after a successful invoice download. Custom references such as INV-0042 are retained but are not automatically incremented. Downloading the same draft twice keeps the same number. New document replaces the one active draft after confirmation; saved profiles and clients remain. The tool does not guarantee unique numbers across devices.

Troubleshooting & privacy

Why are some fields hidden, or why can I not download?

Expand the numbered workspace sections to edit their fields. Use Add chips to reveal optional contact fields; populated saved fields appear automatically. Download validation opens sections containing missing or invalid details; select an error link to focus the field. Business and client names, valid dates and valid item descriptions, quantities and prices are required. Optional ABN and ACN values are checked for format, not registration.

Why did PDF export or print preview fail?

Use a PNG or JPEG logo under 1.5 MB. Remove a damaged image and try again. The PDF uses Noto Sans, which supports many scripts but not every character or emoji; unsupported characters produce an explanation. Print preview needs browser storage to open the draft in a new tab. If storage is blocked, use Download PDF in the current tab. Check browser download settings if a file does not appear.

How do I change privacy choices?

Use Privacy choices in the footer to review optional services. Advertising and analytics depend on configuration and consent; invoice contents, client details and amounts are excluded from analytics. Your document is processed locally and you can download the PDF for your own records.
