About Receipt Maker
Confileo's Receipt Maker tool builds a numbered payment receipt marked PAID, with the payment method on the document, as a PDF. It is free and needs no signup; the file is built on our server and is not stored.
An invoice asks for money and a receipt confirms it arrived. They sit at opposite ends of the same transaction, and confusing them is the most common fault in free templates: a document headed RECEIPT that carries a due date and a balance owing is an invoice wearing the wrong hat, and it will not do the job the person asked for it needs it to do. A receipt is issued after payment, it is marked as paid, and it states how the money moved.
You add your details and whoever paid, describe what the payment covers, enter the amount and the payment method, and set a receipt number. The document shows a PAID mark and downloads as a PDF. 3 credits per PDF, which the monthly free credits cover, with no account and no watermark.
What a receipt has to carry is short and rarely complete in practice: who received the money, who paid it, the date, the amount, what it was for, how it was paid, and a unique number. A tax or VAT number is required in many countries whenever the payer will claim the expense against their own income — put yours in the tax field and it prints beneath your name. Where a payment settles a specific invoice, name that invoice in the description; that single reference is what allows two sets of books to reconcile without a phone call.
Rent is the case people most often need this for, and it has one extra requirement: the period. "Rent received, 4 Mill Lane" proves a payment happened at some point. "Rent, 4 Mill Lane, 1–30 September 2026" proves which month was paid, which is the thing a tenant may need to demonstrate months later to a letting agent, a housing office or a court. Put the property and the dates in the description, not just the word rent.
Cash is where a receipt matters most, because it is the only case with no bank record standing behind it. A card payment leaves a statement line on both sides and a transfer leaves a reference; cash leaves nothing but the piece of paper. Write Cash in the payment method, issue the receipt at the moment the money changes hands rather than later, and keep a copy — for cash, the receipt is the entire evidence trail for both parties.
Give receipts their own numbering sequence rather than sharing one with your invoices. A run such as REC-2026-231, referencing the invoice in the description, keeps the two documents independently auditable; a shared sequence makes both harder to follow. Your details are used to build the PDF and then discarded. This page describes common practice and is not tax or legal advice.

Receipt Maker — Frequently asked questions
Is this receipt maker free?
Each PDF costs 3 credits, so the monthly free credits cover about 16 receipts a month as a guest or 100 with an account; after that, a plan or a credit pack. No account, no watermark, and no cap on how many. The receipt you preview is the receipt you download.
What is the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
An invoice asks for money; a receipt confirms it arrived. They are written at opposite ends of the same transaction, so a receipt should reference the invoice it settles — which is what makes a set of books reconcile.
What has to be on a valid receipt?
Who received the money, who paid it, the date, the amount, what it was for, how it was paid, and a unique receipt number. A tax or VAT number is required in many countries when the payer will claim the expense; add yours in the Tax field and it prints under your name.
Can I use this for a rent receipt?
Yes. Put the property and the period in the description, such as Rent, 4 Mill Lane, September 2026, and the tenant in the received-from block. A rent receipt with the period on it is the version a tenant can actually use as proof of payment.
Does it work for a cash payment?
Yes, and cash is the case where a receipt matters most, because there is no bank record behind it. Write Cash in the payment method and keep a copy: for cash, the receipt is the only evidence either side has.
Should the receipt number follow the invoice number?
Keep separate sequences. Receipts get their own run, such as REC-2026-231, and reference the invoice in the description. Sharing one sequence between the two makes both harder to audit.
Is this tool really free?
You can try it free: 50 credits without an account and 300 with a free account, renewed on the 1st of every month. Every tool uses credits — file tools 3 per file and the heavy ones 12. No watermark, no credit card. Beyond the monthly credits, Pro gives open use with no credits to count, or you can buy a credit pack.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can use the tool straight away without signing up or logging in.
Are my files safe and private?
Yes. A file sent to our servers travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is deleted automatically after processing; tools that work in your browser never upload it. We don't open, read or sell your files.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser, so it works the same on desktop, tablet and mobile with nothing to install.
