Quick answer: Fill in your company and client details, add line items with a quantity and rate, set a Valid Until date, optionally add a discount and tax percentage, then click Download PDF. Everything happens locally in your browser using jsPDF and jsPDF-AutoTable to draw real vector text - not a screenshot image - so the result is sharp, searchable, and small in file size. The live preview updates instantly as you type, and nothing is ever sent to a server.
- Cost: Free, unlimited quotations, no signup.
- Where it runs: 100% in your browser โ no upload, no server storage.
- Output: A real text-based PDF (selectable, searchable, small file size).
- Customization: Logo, currency, accent color, discount, tax, validity date, terms, signature block.
- Multi-page: Automatically paginates long item lists.
- Not included: A quotation is a non-binding estimate, not a legal contract โ see alert box below.
๐ Not a Binding Contract: This generates a professional price estimate, not a legally binding agreement. Pricing here is non-binding and subject to change after the Valid Until date - use a formal contract or signed acceptance for anything legally binding.
๐จ๏ธ 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 - unlike tools that just screenshot an HTML page into an image.

Quotation Generator โ Complete Guide
Before any work begins, most clients want a clear idea of what it will cost. A quotation gives them that - a professional, itemized price estimate they can review and approve before you start. Whether you're a freelancer scoping a new project, a contractor pricing a job, or a small business quoting a bulk order, a well-formatted PDF quotation sets clear expectations and speeds up the "yes."
What Makes a Good Quotation?
A good quotation clearly identifies who is offering the pricing and to whom, what is being priced, how much it costs, and by when the pricing is valid. At minimum, that means your business details, the prospective client's details, a unique quotation number, an issue date, a validity date, an itemized list of what's being quoted, and a clear estimated total. This tool includes all of those fields, plus optional discount, tax, terms, and a signature block for formal acceptance.
How This Generator Actually Works
As you fill in the form, every field is read directly into a JavaScript object representing your quotation, and a live HTML preview re-renders instantly so you can see the final layout before downloading anything. When you click Download PDF, that same data is handed to jsPDF, a JavaScript library for building PDF documents, which draws your company header, client details, and totals as genuine vector text - not a picture of text - directly onto a PDF page. The line items table is built with jsPDF-AutoTable, a companion library that handles column widths, borders, and automatic pagination if your item list runs long. If you upload a logo, it's embedded directly into the PDF as an image alongside the vector text. 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.
Quotation vs Invoice
| Aspect | Quotation (this tool) | Invoice |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Non-binding price estimate before work starts | Formal request for payment after delivery |
| Sent when | Before the client agrees to proceed | After goods/services are delivered |
| Legally binding | No, until accepted | Yes, it's a payment demand |
| Key extra field | Validity date (pricing can expire) | Due date (payment deadline) |
Suggested Quotation Numbering
| Style | Example | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential | QUO-0001, QUO-0002... | Simple, chronological record-keeping |
| Year-based | QUO-2026-001 | Resetting the count each year |
| Client-based | ACME-Q1, ACME-Q2... | Freelancers tracking multiple revisions per client |

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Explanation: The PDF needs at least one item with a description, quantity, or rate filled in to be worth generating. Solution: Fill in at least one line item's description and rate, 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: Discount and tax percentages are both applied to the running subtotal in order - discount first, then tax on the discounted amount - which is standard, but can look different from a flat-tax-on-subtotal calculation some businesses expect. Solution: Double-check your discount and tax percentages match what you intend to quote.
Explanation: Some quotations don't need a formal sign-off block, especially for quick, informal estimates. Solution: Set "Include Signature Section" to No before downloading, and it will be left off the PDF.
Explanation: This shouldn't normally happen โ the tool automatically adds new pages when content doesn't fit. Solution: If you notice an issue, try shortening very long item descriptions, which take up more table width and can push totals further down the page.
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 line items table - both loaded directly in your browser.
Question 2: Why use vector text instead of rendering the preview as an image?
Answer: Drawing text directly as PDF text objects (rather than rasterizing an HTML preview into a picture) keeps the document sharp at any zoom level, keeps the text selectable and searchable, and results in a dramatically smaller file size - all meaningful for a document people will print, email, and archive.
Question 3: How is pagination handled for long quotations?
Answer: jsPDF-AutoTable automatically starts a new page when the line items table runs out of room on the current page, and this tool separately checks whether the totals block, terms, or signature section would overflow the page height, adding a new page for them if needed.
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 alongside your company name.
Question 5: How are discount and tax calculated?
Answer: The subtotal is the sum of every line item's quantity multiplied by its rate; the discount percentage is applied to that subtotal to get a discount amount, and the tax percentage is then applied to the subtotal minus the discount, giving an estimated total of subtotal minus discount plus tax.
Question 6: 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 โ you never need an account or any API key to use it.
