Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about generating, customizing, and printing receipts with Generate Real Invoice.
Is this receipt maker really free with no watermark?+
Yes, 100%. Generate Real Invoice does not add watermarks, lock downloads behind paid tiers, or limit how many receipts you can create. What you preview is exactly what prints.
Can I customize the receipt layout and paper width?+
Yes. You can switch between 58mm (standard compact thermal roll), 80mm (wide POS register roll), and standard full-page formats. You can also customize fonts (Monospace Courier/JetBrains or Modern Sans), colors, and itemized layout tables.
How do I print to a thermal receipt printer?+
You can export your receipt as a PDF or click the direct Print button in our builder. If connected to an ESC/POS or standard USB/Bluetooth thermal printer, select 58mm or 80mm paper roll in the print preview dialog.
Are my receipts saved or kept private?+
All receipts are generated completely client-side in your web browser. We do not store your store details, client information, or transaction records on any remote server. Your data stays entirely in your browser local storage.
Can I use this for business expense reimbursement?+
Yes. The generator produces itemized receipts with date, transaction reference number, payment method, tax breakdown, and vendor details, which meet standard documentation requirements for internal expense reports and bookkeeping.
