Data & Privacy
Is my business data safe with Invoiso?
Your data never leaves your device. Invoiso stores everything in a local SQLite database — no cloud sync, no remote servers. You are in full control, with a built-in backup feature to keep your data portable and protected.
How do I back up my invoice data?
Go to Settings → Backup. Invoiso lets you create a database backup file and save it anywhere on your computer. You can restore it at any time from the same screen — no internet or cloud account needed.
Can I move my data to another computer?
Yes. Use the Backup feature to export your database file, copy it to the new machine, install Invoiso there, and restore the backup from Settings. All your customers, products, and invoices transfer completely.
Features
Can I export invoices as PDF?
Yes. Invoiso lets you generate professional PDF invoices with a single click. Choose from three templates — Classic, Modern, and Minimal — and add your company logo and branding.
Does Invoiso support multiple currencies?
Yes. Invoiso supports USD, EUR, GBP, INR, JPY, AED, SGD, AUD, CAD, and JMD. You can set your preferred currency in the invoice settings.
Can I create quotations as well as invoices?
Yes. When creating a document you can choose either Invoice or Quotation as the document type. Both generate professional PDFs and are tracked separately in the list with colour-coded badges.
Can I duplicate or clone an existing invoice?
Yes. Every invoice has a Duplicate button. Click it, choose Invoice or Quotation, and a new document opens pre-filled with the same customer, products, tax settings, and notes — with a fresh ID and today's date. Ideal for recurring or repeat work.
How do I add my company logo to an invoice?
Go to Settings → Company Info, click the logo area, and select a PNG or JPG image (maximum 512 × 512 px). Your logo appears on all generated PDF invoices automatically.
Can I export invoice data to CSV or Excel?
Yes. The Invoice Management screen has an Export CSV button in the toolbar that exports all your invoices, and a bulk CSV export for selected invoices. The CSV file can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app.
India / GST / UPI
Does Invoiso support GST invoicing?
Yes. Invoiso supports GST-ready invoices with GSTIN fields for your company and customers, HSN code per product, and per-item or global tax rate configuration — suitable for Indian businesses filing GST returns.
Can I add a UPI QR code to my invoice?
Yes. Go to Settings → Company Info → Payment Settings, enter your UPI ID (e.g. yourname@bank), and enable the QR toggle. Invoiso embeds a scannable UPI payment QR code in every generated PDF — your clients can pay instantly via GPay, PhonePe, or Paytm.
Which UPI apps work with the Invoiso QR code?
The QR uses the standard upi://pay deep-link format, which is supported by all major UPI apps including Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, Amazon Pay, and any other UPI-enabled banking app.
Technical
Is Invoiso available as a portable version?
The Linux build is distributed as an AppImage — fully portable, no installation needed. Download the .AppImage file, mark it executable, and run it. The Windows build uses a standard installer.
Where is my data stored on disk?
Invoiso stores its database in your operating system's application support directory — typically ~/.local/share/invoiso/ on Linux and %AppData%\invoiso\ on Windows. The database path is displayed on the splash screen during startup in debug mode.
Is the source code available?
Yes. Invoiso is fully open source under the MIT licence. The complete source code is available on GitHub. Contributions, bug reports, and feature requests are welcome.
