Canva has nice-looking invoice templates, but they take design time and don't calculate totals or tax for you. Here's how to make an invoice in Canva — and how to do it in 60 seconds with our free generator that handles the maths and downloads a clean PDF.
Log in to Canva and search the template library for 'invoice', then pick a layout you like.
Replace the placeholder text with your business name, logo, client details and line items, and adjust colours/fonts to match your brand.
Canva is a design tool, so you'll need to calculate line totals, tax and the grand total manually and type them in.
Use Share → Download → PDF Print to export a client-ready invoice.
No design work — start from a ready, professional layout
Totals, tax (GST/VAT/sales tax) and the grand total calculate automatically
Add your business/tax ID and a unique invoice number in seconds
Download a clean PDF or email it straight to your client — no account needed
