Create a GST invoiceWhat the generator does for you
- Picks the right tax. Same state on both GSTINs gives CGST plus SGST. Different states give IGST.
- Handles line-level detail. HSN or SAC code, quantity, rate and a GST rate on each line.
- Works with either pricing style. Enter prices including GST or excluding it and totals recalculate.
- Prints the Rule 46 extras. Place of supply, a reverse charge Yes or No line and an Authorized Signatory block, with an optional signature image.
- Numbers your invoices. Set a prefix once and each new invoice increments.
- Keeps data private. Everything stays in your browser's local storage.
Worked example: the same ₹10,000 sale, two ways
A freelancer bills ₹10,000 for a service taxed at 18%. The only thing that changes the tax lines is whether the customer is in the same state.
| Line | Same state (intra-state) | Other state (inter-state) |
|---|---|---|
| Taxable value | ₹10,000 | ₹10,000 |
| CGST 9% | ₹900 | — |
| SGST 9% | ₹900 | — |
| IGST 18% | — | ₹1,800 |
| Invoice total | ₹11,800 | ₹11,800 |
The total is identical. The split matters because it decides which return your customer claims input tax credit against. See CGST vs SGST vs IGST explained for the detail.
Before you send the invoice
A tax invoice must carry the fields listed in Rule 46, including a unique sequential number, the date, both parties' details, the HSN or SAC code, the place of supply and whether reverse charge applies. Our GST invoice format checklist lists all of them. If your turnover is above the e-invoicing limit you also need an IRN, covered in the e-invoicing guide.

Frequently asked questions
How does a GST invoice generator decide between CGST+SGST and IGST?
It compares the supplier's state with the place of supply. The first two digits of a GSTIN are the state code, so when your GSTIN and your customer's GSTIN start with the same two digits the sale is intra-state and tax splits into CGST and SGST. When they differ it is inter-state and IGST applies. QWIK INVOICE reads both codes for you. The place of supply defaults to your customer's state, and you can choose a different state when the supply is made elsewhere.
Can freelancers use a GST invoice generator without a GSTIN?
Yes, your GSTIN is optional, so you can create an invoice without one. Keep in mind that only a GST-registered business can charge GST, and many freelancers offering services stay below the registration threshold. Our guide on whether a freelancer needs GST registration explains where the line is. Add your GSTIN in Settings once you register and the CGST, SGST and IGST split switches on.
Does a GST invoice generator follow Rule 46 of the CGST Rules?
QWIK INVOICE prints the Rule 46 particulars: supplier and recipient details with GSTINs, invoice number and date, HSN or SAC, description, quantity, taxable value, GST rate, the CGST, SGST or IGST amount, place of supply, whether tax is payable on reverse charge, the delivery address and an Authorized Signatory line, with an optional signature image you can add in Settings. It has no separate unit-of-measure column for goods, so put the unit in the item name. Check the result against our GST invoice format checklist and confirm anything specific to your case with a chartered accountant.
Is my invoice data safe, and where is it stored?
Your invoices, business profile and logo are saved in your browser's local storage on the device you use. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so we cannot read them. The trade-off is that clearing your browser's site data, or switching device or browser, removes the saved invoices. Download important invoices as PDFs and avoid using a shared computer.
Can I invoice a customer outside India?
Yes. Use the international invoice generator for USD, EUR, GBP and other currencies, and read the guide on LUT and export of services before you issue a zero-rated invoice.
Is a GST invoice generator free to use in India?
QWIK INVOICE is free. There is no trial and no card. You can create up to five invoices, after which a short optional ad unlocks more, and then it is free again.
Do I need to sign up to create a GST invoice online?
No. There is no account, email or login. Open the invoice builder, enter your details and download the PDF. Your business profile is saved in your browser so you do not retype it each time.
How do I create a GST invoice with CGST, SGST and IGST?
Open the builder, add your business details and GSTIN in Settings, then enter your customer's details and GSTIN. Add each item with its HSN or SAC code, quantity, price and GST rate. The tool compares the state codes on the two GSTINs and shows CGST plus SGST for same-state sales or IGST for inter-state sales, then totals everything. Download the PDF when you are done.
Can I download a GST invoice as a PDF without a watermark?
Yes. The PDF is a clean A4 file with no watermark, and you can also print the invoice from your browser. There is no Excel or Word export, so keep the PDF as your record.
Can I add HSN/SAC codes in an online GST invoice generator?
Yes. Every line item has an HSN field, so enter the HSN code for goods or the SAC code for services, along with that line's own GST rate. Our HSN and SAC guide explains how many digits your turnover requires.
Can I generate a GST invoice on mobile?
Yes. It runs in your phone's browser, so there is nothing to install, and the layout adapts to small screens. That makes it easy to raise a bill for a walk-in customer on the spot and download the PDF.
Does using an online GST invoice generator make the invoice legally valid?
The tool does not decide validity, the content does. An invoice is valid when it carries the particulars Rule 46 requires, uses correct GSTINs, HSN codes and rates, and follows consecutive numbering. A generator helps by calculating the tax split and totals without arithmetic mistakes, but you remain responsible for the details you enter.
What is the difference between a GST invoice generator and Tally or Zoho?
Accounting and billing suites such as Tally and Zoho do much more, including books, inventory, payments and GST return data. QWIK INVOICE does one job: it creates GST invoices and keeps them in your browser, free and with no account. It suits freelancers and small sellers who only need to raise invoices, and it can be used alongside accounting software.
Is a GST bill maker the same as a GST invoice generator?
In practice, yes. Bill is the everyday word, and the legal document for a taxable sale is the tax invoice, which is what this tool makes. It produces a tax invoice, or a plain invoice for non-GST use. It does not produce a bill of supply or a proforma invoice, so composition dealers, who must issue a bill of supply, should read our bill of supply guide first.
Where should I save GST bills for GST returns?
Download each invoice as a PDF and store it in a dated folder with a cloud backup, since browser storage can be cleared. GST law requires you to keep records for years, generally until 72 months after the due date of the annual return under Section 36 of the CGST Act, so confirm the exact period with your accountant.
