Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before clicking “Download PDF”.
Pricing & licensing
- Is GJAM Invoice Generator really free?
- Yes. The first 5 PDF downloads are completely free with no signup, no watermarks. After that you can buy a one-time lifetime license to unlock unlimited downloads.
- How does the lifetime license work?
- Buy the license once on Gumroad, paste the key into the "Validate License" field, and your browser gets unlimited downloads. There is no recurring payment, no account.
- Can I get a refund?
- Yes — Gumroad offers a 30-day refund window, no questions asked.
- Will my license work on multiple devices?
- Yes. Paste the same license key on each device you use the tool on.
- Will the price increase?
- Possibly. The lifetime license is intentionally cheap during launch. Existing license holders are never affected by future price increases.
Data & privacy
- Where is my invoice data stored?
- All data lives in your browser's localStorage. We never send your client or invoice details to a server. Your data persists across page refreshes on the same device.
- Is my data backed up?
- Not on our side — by design. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, you start fresh. We recommend exporting/saving any invoices you may need to reference later as PDFs.
- Do you track me with analytics?
- We use only privacy-respecting product analytics (no cookies, no PII). Your invoice contents are never sent or logged.
- Do you sell my data?
- No. We do not collect personal data, so there is nothing to sell. See our Privacy Policy for details.
PDF & invoice features
- Will the PDF split a line item across pages?
- No. Each line item, the totals block, and the notes section all use page-break-inside: avoid CSS, so they never get cut between pages.
- Can I add my logo and brand colour?
- Yes. Upload a PNG/JPG/SVG logo (up to 1.5 MB) and pick an accent colour with the colour picker — both appear on the live preview and in the downloaded PDF.
- What currencies are supported?
- Common currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, INR, AUD, CAD, AED, SGD, JPY, CHF — formatted with proper locale rules. Switch the currency at any time.
- Does it support GST, VAT and sales tax?
- Yes. Set a custom tax label (GST, VAT, Sales Tax, etc.) and a custom tax %. Discounts are applied before tax — the standard convention used by accounting software.
- Can I number invoices automatically?
- Invoice numbering is manual to keep you in full control. We default to a `INV-YYYY-NNN` pattern that you can override at any time.
Country & tax compliance
- Is the GST invoice format India-compliant?
- Yes — the generator outputs all 11 fields required by the Indian GST Act: GSTIN, sequential invoice number, HSN/SAC support inside descriptions, CGST/SGST or IGST, total in figures, and place of supply.
- Is the UK VAT invoice HMRC-compliant?
- Yes. It includes the supplier's VAT number, sequential invoice number, tax point, and standard / reduced / zero VAT rate support.
- Can I generate Australian Tax Invoices with ABN?
- Yes. Use the Tax/Reg ID field for your ABN, set GST to 10% and label it appropriately. The format meets ATO requirements for tax invoices over A$1,000.
- Does it support reverse-charge VAT for EU clients?
- Yes — set Tax % to 0 and add "Reverse charge — customer to account for VAT" to the Notes section. This is the standard EU B2B reverse-charge pattern.
Migrating from another tool
- Can I import data from FreshBooks/Wave/Bonsai/Zoho?
- Not automatically yet. The simplest migration is to copy your business and client details into GJAM once — they auto-save to your browser and never need to be re-typed.
- Why don't you have features X, Y, Z that FreshBooks has?
- GJAM Invoice Generator is purposefully focused: produce a beautiful, accurate invoice PDF as fast as possible. Recurring billing, payment processing, time tracking and bookkeeping are intentionally out of scope.
