Quick answer: Add your meeting details, list attendees and any apologies, log each agenda item with its discussion and decision, and record action items with an owner and due date - the stats update automatically. Click Download PDF to get a print-ready record. Everything happens locally in your browser using jsPDF and jsPDF-AutoTable to draw real vector text - not a screenshot image. The live preview updates instantly, and nothing is ever sent to a server.
- Cost: Free, unlimited minutes, no signup.
- Where it runs: 100% in your browser — no upload, no server storage.
- Output: A real text-based PDF (selectable, searchable, small file size).
- Structured fields: Attendees, agenda items with decisions, and action items with owners/due dates.
- Tracks accountability: Every action item has a status - Open, In Progress, or Done.
- Reusable: Load a sample template, or reset and start a fresh set of minutes any time.
👥 Attendance Matters: Recording both attendees and apologies protects the record and clarifies who agreed to what.
✅ Action Items Need Owners: An action item without a named owner and due date rarely gets done - always assign both.
🖨️ Real Text, Not a Screenshot: The PDF is built from actual vector text using jsPDF, so it stays sharp at any zoom, the text is selectable/searchable, and the file stays small.
🔒 Privacy: Your meeting data, including any logo you upload, is processed locally — it is never uploaded, transmitted, or stored anywhere.
✅ 100% Private: Your minutes, including your logo, are generated locally in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever uploaded to a server or stored anywhere.
Note: Your document data will be cleared once your session ends or you clear the app.

Meeting Minutes Generator – Complete Guide
Most meetings produce plenty of talk and very little written record. A week later, nobody remembers who agreed to what, and action items quietly disappear. Meeting minutes fix that - a short, structured document that captures who attended, what was discussed, what was decided, and exactly who is responsible for what happens next.
What Makes Good Meeting Minutes?
Useful minutes are short and structured, not a transcript. They record the meeting's basic facts (title, date, time, location, facilitator), who attended and who sent apologies, each agenda item with its discussion and the decision reached, and a clear list of action items - each with a named owner, a due date, and a status. This tool covers all of that, plus a live stats summary and a signature line for whoever prepared the record.
How This Generator Actually Works
As you fill in the form, every field is read directly into a JavaScript object representing your minutes, and a live HTML preview re-renders instantly so you can see the final layout before downloading anything - including automatic counts of attendees, agenda items, and open action items. When you click Download PDF, that same data is handed to jsPDF, which draws your organization header, meeting meta box, attendees, and agenda sections as genuine vector text - not a picture of text - directly onto a PDF page. The action items table is built with jsPDF-AutoTable, which handles column widths, borders, and automatic pagination if your action list runs long. The finished document is then handed back to your browser as a file to save - at no point does any of this data leave your device or touch a server.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Explanation: The PDF needs at least a title and one agenda entry to be a meaningful record. Solution: Fill in the meeting title and add at least one agenda item, then try downloading again.
Explanation: Only PNG and JPG logo files are supported; other image formats or corrupted files may fail to embed. Solution: Re-save your logo as a PNG or JPG and upload it again.
Explanation: If your browser is caching an older version of the page, style updates may lag behind. Solution: Refresh the page once and re-select your accent color.
Explanation: This tool keeps agenda items to three simple fields to stay quick to fill in for most meetings. Solution: For very detailed items, add key extra context into the Discussion Notes field itself.
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Question 1: What actually builds the PDF - is it a known library?
Answer: This tool uses jsPDF, a widely used open-source JavaScript library for generating PDF documents in the browser, together with its jsPDF-AutoTable plugin for the action items table - both loaded directly in your browser.
Question 2: How are the meeting stats (attendees, agenda items, open actions) calculated?
Answer: The tool simply counts the current length of the attendees, agenda, and action-item arrays held in memory, and separately counts how many action items have a status other than "Done" - recalculating instantly as you add or remove rows.
Question 3: Can I reorder agenda items or action items?
Answer: Items appear in the order you add them. To reorder, remove and re-add items in your preferred sequence, or simply add new items in the order you'd like them to appear in the final PDF.
Question 4: How is my logo embedded in the PDF?
Answer: The uploaded image is read as a Base64 data URL using the FileReader API, then passed directly to jsPDF's image-embedding function, which places it at a fixed position and size in the top-left of the document.
Question 5: Does this tool need an account, server, or API key?
Answer: No. jsPDF, jsPDF-AutoTable, and the live preview all run as ordinary JavaScript already loaded by this page — you never need an account or any API key to use it.
