Like a lot of freelancers, I got frustrated with the same two bad options for sending invoices: hand-formatting them in Word, or signing up for a full accounting suite just to export a PDF.

So I built InvoiceFormly (https://invoiceformly.com) — a free, browser-based invoice generator. Type your line items, drop in your logo, and download a clean PDF. No sign-up required for basic use.

The stack

  • Next.js 15 (App Router) deployed on Cloudflare Pages
  • PayPal Subscriptions for the optional Pro tier

The interesting bits

The trickiest parts were PDF rendering fidelity across browsers and handling tax/rounding correctly for multiple currencies. I kept the editor and the exported PDF layout in sync so what you see is exactly what gets sent.

Why I'm posting

I'm a solo indie developer and this is my first real SaaS. If you send invoices as a freelancer or run a small business, give it a try: https://invoiceformly.com. I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from anyone who's solved cross-currency tax edge cases cleanly.

Happy to answer anything about the build in the comments.
