Invoice to PDF
Turn invoice data — JSON, XML, UBL or CSV — into a printable PDF invoice.
Pick invoice colours and type that match your brand and still print legibly.
The Invoice Branding Generator picks an accent colour and type style for invoices that survive reality — contrast checked against white, previewed in greyscale for mono printers and scans, shown on a live invoice.
Branding an invoice is not the same as branding a website. An invoice is printed, often on a cheap office laser, photocopied, scanned into an archive and read by somebody in an accounts department who is looking for four numbers. A colour that looks elegant on screen can print as an unreadable pale grey.
This picks colours for that reality. Start from your brand colour, and it builds an accent that keeps enough contrast against white for headings and rules, checks it against the WCAG contrast threshold, and shows how it will look converted to greyscale — which is how most invoices are eventually printed or scanned.
It pairs the colour with a type style — a classic serif, a clean sans or a compact style for long item lists — and shows the result on a live invoice rather than on a swatch. When it looks right, the builder on the page is already using it.
Against the 4.5:1 threshold for readable text.
How it looks on a mono laser or in a scan.
A pale brand colour is adjusted until it reads.
Serif, sans and compact.
Judged on a real document, not a swatch.
A hex code from your logo or brand guide.
Against white, for headings and totals that must stay readable.
How it prints on a mono laser or looks in a scanned archive.
Serif, sans or compact, previewed on a real invoice.
The builder below takes the colours as you choose them.
White paper with one accent colour for the title, rules and totals. The accent should be dark enough to read as text — a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against white — because a pale brand colour disappears on a cheap printer.
Because most invoices are printed on mono lasers, photocopied or scanned in greyscale. Two brand colours that look distinct on screen can become the same grey, and a light accent can vanish entirely.
Either reads well. Serif feels traditional and suits professional services; sans-serif feels modern and suits agencies and technology. What matters more is tabular figures, so the numbers line up.
In accent colour and logo, yes. In everything else, no — a website design rarely survives being printed, and an invoice has to.
