Six documents, one set of lines
Every one opens with Illustrator / artist already selected, and a quote converts to an invoice without retyping.
Invoice
Commissioned illustration billed, with revision round on its own line.
OpenQuote
A price for the commissioned illustration, held while the client decides.
OpenCost estimate
A number to work to before the scope is settled.
OpenReceipt
Proof the money arrived, issued the day it clears.
OpenWork order
The scope, agreed in writing, no prices shown.
OpenPurchase order
What you buy in for the job, on record.
OpenHow illustrators bill
The generator assumes three things about how the work is billed.
One figure for the main work
Commissioned illustration is known work, so it goes on as a single line rather than an argument about hours. It opens at $750.00 for you to overwrite once.
$750.00opening figureA second line, not a bigger number
Concept sketches is named rather than folded into the first figure. Two named lines get queried less often than one large one.
The last line still gets named
Revision round goes on the document rather than into a rounding. Work that is not written down is work you are giving away.
What you get, free
Six controls in the generator, each aimed at a part of the week.
Four lines before you type
The last job ends and the invoicing starts, the same lines typed again from memory. Pick Illustrator / artist once and every document here opens with them in place.
The record on the document
The detail that matters later belongs on the document the client keeps, not in a notebook in the van. Add a field, type it once, and it prints.
Photos and a signature
A number on its own gets queried. The work shown, and the scope signed, ends the argument before it starts.
Paid from the sheet
A finished job should not wait on an envelope. Payment link and QR print on the document, six ways to pay behind them.
Repeat work bills itself
Regular clients expect the same figure each time. Set the line once, make it recurring, and the next one arrives without you opening anything.
A quote becomes the invoice
The client says yes and the retyping begins, twice the typing for one job. Convert it: lines, client and totals carry across.
Nothing to install, nothing to cancel
No app
It opens in the browser you already have, on the phone you carry or the desktop at home.
No trial clock
No card on file, no watermark asking for an upgrade, no limit on documents.
Nothing collected
What you type stays in your browser. A document leaves only when you export or send it.

Questions illustrators ask
What should an illustrator invoice include?
Your business details, the client, and the work itemised: commissioned illustration, concept sketches, commercial usage licence and revision round. Add your payment terms and the date it is due. The generator opens an illustrator document with those four lines already in place.
How much should I charge for commissioned illustration?
There is no single answer, and anyone quoting one is guessing. The generator opens that line at $750.00 so the document is not empty, and expects you to change it. This site holds no pricing survey.
Can I turn an illustrator quote into an invoice without retyping it?
Yes. Build the quote, and when the client accepts, convert it. The lines, the client and the totals carry across.
Do I need software to send an illustrator invoice?
No. The generator runs in the browser with no signup, no watermark and no trial. Fill it, export a PDF, send it from your own email. An account adds saving, clients and a dashboard, but holds nothing back from the document.
What is the difference between a quote, an estimate and an invoice?
A quote is a fixed price you are offering and holding for a period. An estimate is your best guess at a price that may move. An invoice is a demand for payment for work already done.
What if the work changes after the document goes out?
Reopen it, change the line, export again. Nothing is locked and there is no version to buy. If it has already been sent, send the corrected one and say which it replaces.
