Proforma Invoice Generator — Free
By Innvoic
A proforma invoice is the document you send when money hasn’t changed hands yet. The client wants a deposit invoice before you’ll start. A freight forwarder needs a declared value for customs. A new client’s finance team wants an official-looking number before they’ll raise a purchase order. In each case you’re not billing for finished work. You’re putting a figure in writing, clearly labelled as preliminary, so everyone can act on it. This generator makes proper proforma invoices in seconds: itemised lines, automatic totals, tax fields, your terms. You don’t need an account, and the PDF downloads clean with no watermark.
When to send a proforma invoice
A proforma is a statement of intent, not a bill. Freelancers send one to lock in a 50% deposit before the work starts. Exporters send one so customs can assess goods in transit. It also works for internal purchase approvals and any new client who needs paperwork before committing. In most jurisdictions a proforma is not a tax invoice, so the labelling matters: keep it marked as proforma (this generator does it for you) and issue the final invoice once the work is done or the goods ship.
From proforma to final invoice in one click
Duplicate the saved proforma from My Invoices, flip the document type to Invoice, and you’re done. Same client, same lines, same totals. New invoice number, correct labelling, ready to send. If the scope moved between quote and delivery, adjust the lines first; totals, tax and balance-due recalculate live. Your history keeps the whole trail: proforma sent, deposit recorded under amount paid, final invoice issued, balance due tracked. That’s the advance-payment paper trail, from “I think they paid half” to knowing exactly where every invoice stands.
Is this proforma invoice generator free?
Yes. Create proforma invoices, download them as PDF, and convert them to final invoices when the work is done. Everything works without an account.
What is a proforma invoice used for?
It’s a preliminary bill sent before work begins or goods ship. The usual cases are advance payments, deposits, customs declarations and purchase approvals. It isn’t a demand for payment on completed work.
Can I convert a proforma to a regular invoice?
Yes. Duplicate the saved proforma from My Invoices and change the document type to Invoice. All the details carry over with a new invoice number.
Is a proforma invoice legally binding?
Generally no. It’s a statement of intent, not a tax invoice. Label it clearly as proforma (the generator does this automatically) and issue a proper invoice on completion or shipment.
