Sharing an invoice as an example
- Box the client's name and contact details.
- Box your bank account and routing numbers.
- Box the prices if you're showing the layout and not your rates.
Freelancers share old invoices to show a format, or with an accountant who only needs some of it. On the sample invoice, hiding the client, their contact and the bank details takes four boxes and leaves the line items and the $4,500.00 total readable.
Each page in the new file is a picture, 1,224 by 1,584 pixels for a letter-size invoice, so line items stay sharp.
Questions
Can I keep the total but hide the line prices?
Yes. Box only the prices you want hidden.
Does it work on invoices from accounting software?
Yes, once you download or print the invoice to PDF.
What's under a black box in the new file?
Black pixels. The box is painted into the picture of the page, and the new file holds pictures, not text.
Is the invoice uploaded?
No. It opens in your browser and the new PDF is made on your device.
