Which file format to use
Your printable invoice template is available in Word, Excel and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) formats. Which format is best depends on the situation for which you’re using it.
Word invoice template
Use a Microsoft Word template when your primary concern is having options in your invoice design process. Word is known for letting you design invoices, as well as various kinds of documents and reports. Customise your blank invoice template by adding vibrant images and tweaking its colours and fonts.
Excel invoice template
An Excel invoice template is ideal if you have many itemised rows of provided services, for which you need to automatically calculate totals. Thanks to Excel’s formulas, this process becomes a breeze.
PDF invoice template
Boost your professional reputation and trustworthiness by sending PDF invoices to your customers. This Portable Document Format lets you send invoices the way they were originally created, even after you convert them to PDF. PDFs are also highly secure. They can be password-protected, and each change to your invoice leaves an electronic footprint.
