What is EasyInvoicePDF?

EasyInvoicePDF is an invoice editor with a live PDF preview. You fill in a form, the PDF updates as you type, and you download it in one click.

Everything happens in your browser. Invoices are saved to your browser's local storage, and PDFs are generated on your device, so there is no server holding your clients' details.

What can it do?

• Live PDF preview: see every change as you type, then download in one click
• Two templates: a classic default layout and a Stripe-style layout, both with logo support
• Flexible taxes: VAT, GST, sales tax or your own label, calculated automatically
• Item discounts: take a percentage or a fixed amount off any line
• Saved seller and buyer profiles: reuse your details across invoices
• Shareable links: send an invoice as a link instead of an attachment
• Payment QR codes: add a payment link, UPI ID or any other text as a QR code
• Multi-page invoices: long invoices paginate automatically
• 10+ languages and 120+ currencies, with number formats you choose separately from the language
• Works on mobile: the editor and preview adapt to any screen

What's new

v1.0.6: item discounts (October 20, 2026)

• Discounts on invoice items: take a percentage (10%) or a fixed amount (50.00 EUR) off any line
• Your own label: name the discount, for example Charitable donation, and it shows on the invoice
• Tax on the discounted amount: VAT, totals and the amount in words all use the discounted figures
• Both templates: a Discount column in the default template and a separate discount row in the Stripe template

Read the v1.0.6 release notes or the full changelog.

Earlier releases

v1.0.5: number formats and Brazilian Portuguese (September 24, 2026)

• Number format setting: choose how amounts are punctuated, separately from the invoice language, including a new International format (321 200.00)
• Keep the format when the language changes: write an invoice in your client's language and keep your own number formatting
• Brazilian Portuguese invoices: a new Portuguese (Brazil) PDF language with CNPJ/CPF and Brazilian amounts in words
• Large amounts fit their columns: wide amounts wrap at a thousands boundary instead of overlapping the next column

v1.0.5 release notes

v1.0.4: faster PDF preview and mobile polish (September 4, 2026)

• Faster, flicker-free preview: the PDF is generated once and shared by the desktop preview, the mobile viewer and the download button
• Redesigned mobile tabs: a pill-shaped track with one indicator that slides between the form and the preview
• Dates in the form match the PDF: helper texts and the out-of-date banner use the invoice's language and date format
• Fixed missing first characters in labels: Cobrar de no longer renders as obrar de

• Reworked seller and buyer forms: a new layout, locked-state banners and clearer field groups
• Out-of-date dates helper: lists outdated fields and updates all of them with one button
• Scroll position kept on mobile: the form returns to where you were when you switch tabs

v1.0.0 release notes

Run it locally

EasyInvoicePDF is licensed under AGPL v3, so you can run your own copy on your machine or your own infrastructure. You need Node.js and Corepack, which installs the pnpm version pinned in package.json.

1. Install pnpm and the dependencies:

   corepack enable
   corepack install
   pnpm install
   

2. Create your environment file:

   cp .env.example .env.local
   

3. Start the dev server on localhost:3000:

   pnpm dev
   

Environment variables

The invoice editor itself needs no external services. These ones are used only by the private /api/generate-invoice route and its Telegram bot, which send the author's monthly invoice:

Service	Used for
Resend	Emailing the generated invoice
Upstash	Rate limiting and the job queue
Google Drive API	Uploading the generated PDFs
Telegram Bot API	Notifications and the /generate command

Every script loads .env.local through dotenvx, so the file works plaintext or encrypted. To encrypt it:

pnpm exec dotenvx encrypt -f .env.local

Working with an encrypted .env.local

• Change a value: pnpm exec dotenvx set KEY value -f .env.local
• Read a value: pnpm exec dotenvx get KEY -f .env.local
• Restart pnpm dev after a change: Next.js reloads .env.local on its own, but from an encrypted file it reads the raw encrypted:... strings
• Missing private key (new machine, locked keychain): scripts stop with DECRYPTION_FAILED instead of running

Tech stack

• Next.js, React and TypeScript
• @react-pdf/renderer for generating PDFs in the browser
• Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui and Origin UI

Other tools used to build and run the project:

• Umami for privacy-friendly analytics
• zizmor for static analysis of GitHub Actions
• typescript-plugin-directives
• og.new for Open Graph images and shots.so for mockups
