Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about creating invoices with BillDoodle.
Getting started
Is BillDoodle really free?
Yes. You can create and download as many documents as you like without paying and without creating an account.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Open the generator, fill in the form and download your PDF. There is no account, password or email address required.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. BillDoodle works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone, the Download PDF button stays at the bottom of the screen.
How do I send the invoice to my client?
Download the PDF and attach it to an email, or share it over WhatsApp or any messaging app.
Can I add my company logo and signature?
Yes. Click “Add your logo” to place a PNG, JPG or WebP image at the top of the PDF, and “Add your signature” to print your signature under the totals.
Countries, currencies and taxes
Which countries does BillDoodle support?
Click your country’s flag at the top right – USA, Canada, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, UAE, Singapore or Malaysia – to set the currency, common tax rates, tax-ID fields and date format automatically.
Can I use another currency?
Yes. Choose any currency from the Currency menu, such as EUR, GBP, AUD or SAR, whichever country you have selected.
Can I charge more than one tax?
Yes. Click Taxes to add as many taxes as you need – for example CGST and SGST in India, or GST and PST in Canada – and tick which ones apply to each line. You can also mark a tax as compound.
Are the tax rates always up to date?
The presets are a convenient starting point, but tax rates and rules change. Every rate can be edited, so always check the correct rate for your goods or services with your tax authority or adviser.
Can I show the total in words?
Yes. Tick “Show amount in words” and the total is printed in words, for example “Rupees One Lakh Eighteen Thousand Only”. It is on by default for countries where this is customary.
Does BillDoodle support government e-invoicing?
No. BillDoodle creates PDF documents. Businesses that must use an e-invoicing system – such as India’s Invoice Registration Portal or Malaysia’s MyInvois – need to submit invoices through that system.
Designs and documents
Can I choose a different invoice design?
Yes. Pick from 10 designs – Classic, Bar, Band, Side, Mono, Neat, Waves, Flow, Flag and Stencil – and 6 colours. The live preview shows exactly how your PDF will look before you download it.
What documents can I create?
Invoices, tax invoices, proforma invoices, receipts, sales receipts, cash receipts, quotes, estimates, credit memos, credit notes, purchase orders and delivery notes.
Can I change the labels on the invoice?
Yes. Switch to the Advanced form and open “Customize labels on the PDF” to rename any label, from “Bill To” to “Balance Due” – for example to translate your invoice.
How should I number my invoices?
Give every invoice a unique number in sequence, such as INV-001, INV-002. When you start a new document, BillDoodle suggests the next number for you.
Privacy and your data
Where is my data stored?
Everything you type stays in your own browser. Drafts and your history are saved locally on this device, so nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Can you recover an invoice I deleted?
No. Because your documents are stored only in your browser, we never receive them and cannot recover them. Keep copies of the PDFs you need.
Can I continue on another device?
Drafts and history are saved in the browser you used, so they don’t move between devices automatically. Download the PDF to keep or share a document anywhere.
