What is the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
A receipt is proof of payment that confirms a transaction has been completed. An invoice is a request for payment sent before the transaction occurs. Receipts are issued after payment is received, while invoices are issued before payment. Our receipt generator creates professional receipts for completed transactions.
How do I make a receipt without software?
You can use our free online receipt generator directly in your browser. No software installation required. Simply fill in your details and download your receipt as PDF or PNG instantly.
What information should be on a receipt?
A proper receipt should include: date of transaction, receipt number, seller/business name and contact details, buyer information (optional), itemized list of goods/services, amounts and totals, and payment method. Our receipt generator includes all these fields.
Legal & Compliance
Are these receipts legally valid?
Yes. Our receipts contain all the standard fields required for professional documentation, including date, receipt number, business details, customer info, itemization, and totals. They are suitable for general business use, reimbursement claims, and record-keeping. Check our business receipt template for professional documentation.
Can I use this for tax purposes?
Generally, yes. Our receipts provide a clear record of transaction details. However, tax laws vary by country and jurisdiction, so we recommend consulting with a tax professional for specific compliance requirements. For US users, see our USD receipt generator.
Is a PDF receipt acceptable for expense reports?
Yes, PDF receipts are widely accepted for expense reports and reimbursement claims. Most companies and accounting departments accept digital receipts in PDF format. Our generator creates high-quality PDFs that are suitable for professional documentation.
Do I need to include tax on my receipts?
Tax requirements vary by location and business type. Our receipt generator allows you to add tax amounts and rates to your receipts. Consult with a tax professional to understand your specific obligations for collecting and documenting taxes.
Can receipts be used as proof of purchase?

Is my data safe?
Your privacy is our top priority. Kitovo operates entirely in your browser (client-side). This means your business data, customer details, and financial information never leave your device. We do not store or transmit your data to any servers.

No. Since the application runs locally on your device, we have no access to your transaction details. We do not track, store, or analyze your receipt data.
Does Kitovo save my receipts?
Kitovo uses your browser's local storage to save your work in progress, so you don't lose data if you accidentally close the tab. However, this data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. You can clear this data anytime through your browser settings.
What browsers are supported?
Kitovo works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser.
Can I use Kitovo on mobile devices?
Yes! Kitovo is fully responsive and works great on smartphones and tablets. You can create and download receipts on any device with a web browser.
How do I print my receipt?
After generating your receipt, download it as a PDF file. Then open the PDF and use your device's print function (Ctrl+P on Windows, Cmd+P on Mac). The PDF is formatted for standard paper sizes.
