Make a quote without an account: free, in your browser
3 min read
A client asks for a quote. You do not want to spend three days on it, and you certainly do not want to buy a €30-a-month accounting package for one document. So you fight a Word template, or you sign up to a "free" quote site that wants your address, your customer's details and an email — and then calls you two weeks later.
The Quote maker keeps it simple: fill in your details, your client and the line items, and download a clean quote as a PDF. Everything happens in your browser, with no account and without anything being uploaded.
What the tool does
You fill in your own details (name, address, optionally a company and VAT number), the customer's details, and the lines with description, quantity, unit price and VAT rate. The totals compute themselves — subtotal, VAT per rate, and the final amount. You pick a quote number, a date and a "valid until" date (30 days by default), and download the PDF. You can add your own logo on top.
Why this is nice
- No account, no subscription. Open the tool, make your quote, done. No free tier with a limit that nudges you onto a paid plan.
- Nothing uploaded. Your business and customer details stay in your browser. Nothing goes to a server — check your own network tab.
- Multilingual. You set the quote language (Dutch or English), the currency and the VAT rate yourself, so it works for foreign clients too.
Quote or invoice?
A quote is a non-binding proposal you send up front. That is why it has a validity date and no IBAN or payment term — payment comes later. Once the client accepts and the work is (partly) done, you send an invoice. For that there is the separate Invoice maker, with the same ease.
How to make a quote, step by step
- Open Quote maker and fill in your own details. Tick "remember my details" if you make quotes often — they will be ready next time (locally, never sent).
- Fill in the customer details and pick a quote number.
- Add the lines: description, quantity, unit price and VAT%. Multiple rates on one quote is fine.
- Check the "valid until" date and add a without-obligation note if you like.
- Download the PDF. Ready to send.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a quote and an invoice? A quote is a non-binding proposal up front; an invoice is a request for payment afterwards, once accepted. A quote carries a validity date and no IBAN.
How long is a quote valid? You decide, with the "valid until" date (30 days by default). State "without obligation" so prices can change after that.
Do my details go to a server? No. Everything is built in your browser; nothing is sent to a server. "Remember my details" only stores your sender details locally.
Can I use multiple VAT rates? Yes. Each line has its own VAT percentage, and the totals group VAT per rate. Reverse-charge VAT is available too.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a quote and an invoice?
A quote is a non-binding proposal you send up front: what you will do and what it costs. An invoice is a request for payment you send afterwards, once the client has accepted and the work is (partly) done. That is why a quote carries a validity date and no IBAN or payment term.
How long is a quote valid?
You decide, with the 'valid until' date; it defaults to 30 days out. State 'without obligation' clearly in the note so the client knows prices can change after that date.
Are my details or the customer's uploaded anywhere?
No. The quote is built entirely in your browser with pdf-lib — nothing goes to our servers or any third party. 'Remember my details' only stores your own sender details locally on this device; they are never sent.
Can I use multiple VAT rates on one quote?
Yes. Each line has its own VAT percentage, and the totals group the VAT amount per rate (for example 21% and 9% separately). You can also switch on reverse-charge VAT for intra-EU work.
