How to Save and Manage Your Invoices

Auto-Save in the Browser

InvoiceGen automatically saves your current invoice to your browser's local storage as you type. If you close the tab or refresh the page, your work is still there when you return. This happens instantly and requires no action on your part.

Saving to the Cloud with an Account

If you create a free InvoiceGen account, your invoices sync to the cloud automatically. This means you can start an invoice on your laptop and finish it on your phone. Cloud-saved invoices are tied to your account and accessible from any device where you are signed in.

Exporting as PDF

Click the "Download PDF" button to generate a polished PDF of your invoice. The PDF includes your logo, all line items, totals, and any notes or terms you have added. Save this file to your computer, attach it to an email, or upload it to your accounting software.

Organizing Your Invoice History

Use consistent invoice numbers (like INV-001, INV-002) to keep your records orderly. When you download PDFs, name the files with the invoice number and client name for easy searching later. If you use cloud sync, your saved invoices are listed in chronological order in your dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my invoice if I clear my browser data?
Clearing your browser's local storage or cookies will remove any unsaved invoice data. Always download a PDF or sign in to sync your invoices to the cloud before clearing browser data.
Does my data persist between different browsers?
Browser-saved data is specific to the browser and device you used. To access invoices across browsers or devices, create a free account so your data syncs to the cloud.
Can I sync invoices between my phone and computer?
Yes, if you are signed in to your InvoiceGen account on both devices. Cloud sync keeps your invoices up to date automatically, so changes on one device appear on the other within seconds.
