Freelance Designer Invoice Template
Design work is easy to underbill. Concepts, revision rounds and file handovers all take real time, and a vague one line invoice makes clients question the price instead of the value. A good designer invoice separates the creative work from the revisions so the client can see exactly what they paid for.
This free template starts you with a typical logo project structure: concept work, a brand style guide and a line for extra revisions. Change the items, put your own rates in, add your logo and download a clean PDF. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.

Common questions
Should I charge per project or per hour as a designer?
Fixed project pricing usually works better for defined deliverables like logos, while hourly fits open ended work. This template uses project pricing with an hourly line for extra revisions, which keeps scope creep billable.
When should I send the source files?
A common approach is to deliver final files after the invoice is paid, and to say so on the invoice. The template's notes field states this so there are no surprises.
