Is this invoice generator truly 100% free with no watermarks?

Yes. Unlike Wave, Canva, or InvoiceSimple that lock PDF downloads behind monthly subscriptions or inject intrusive watermarks, Meshalive is 100% free forever. You get full access to vector PDF downloads, custom logos, and payment QR codes with zero paywalls.

Does my financial or client data get sent to your servers?

Never. The Meshalive Invoice Generator runs 100% locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your client names, billing addresses, line items, and bank details are never transmitted over the internet or stored on our servers.

How does the integrated Payment QR Code work?

You can choose between UPI (for Indian bank accounts via GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), PayPal.me, Stripe payment links, or custom checkout URLs. The tool renders a high-contrast QR code directly on the printed invoice so your client can scan it with their phone camera and pay immediately.

Will my invoice data be saved if I close the browser tab?

Yes. Your active draft and your business profile (including logo, tax ID, and address) are automatically persisted in your browsers private localStorage. When you return to the page, your information is instantly restored.

How do I download the invoice as a PDF?

Click the "Download / Print PDF" button in the top toolbar. Your browsers native print dialog will open with print styling pre-applied. Simply select "Save as PDF" as the destination and click Save. The result is a crisp, vector-quality PDF document formatted for standard A4 or US Letter paper.

Can I generate Tax Invoices, Receipts, or Quotes?

Yes. You can switch the document header between INVOICE, TAX INVOICE, RECEIPT, PROFORMA INVOICE, and QUOTE / ESTIMATE with one click in the Document Setup panel.

Total Privacy Architecture

Your client list, project hourly rates, bank account numbers, and GSTIN/VAT records never touch an external database. All computations and renders happen within your local browser sandbox.

⚡

Scan-to-Pay QR Codes

Accelerate invoice settlements. Clients can simply scan the embedded QR code with their mobile device to trigger instant UPI bank transfers, PayPal payments, or direct Stripe checkout sessions.
