One document. Eight different ways to read it.
The video uses one fictional invoice throughout so the layout—not the content—is the only variable.
Read the video transcript
Eight invoice designs. Same data. Start with Essential: clear, quiet, and easy to scan. Switch to Modern for a stronger branded header. Studio gives the logo and business identity more room.
Trades puts hours, units, and rates at the centre of the document. Compact keeps long line-item lists dense and readable. Professional follows a familiar B2B structure. Corporate separates seller, buyer, and VAT information explicitly. Nordic uses restrained typography and generous whitespace.
Only the design changes. Your invoice content stays the same, and you can switch again at any time. Choose a style, review the preview, and export from InvoiceCraftly.

Common questions
Invoice design FAQ
Can I switch invoice designs after entering my data?
Yes. Design selection is separate from invoice content, so you can compare layouts in the live preview without entering the document again.
Does changing the design change totals or tax?
No. A design changes visual presentation, not the quantities, rates, discounts, tax, totals, or payment details in the invoice.
Which design is best for a long invoice?
Compact is the clearest starting point when you have many line items. Always review page breaks and the final export before sending.
Can I still use my logo and accent colour?
Yes. Your logo and brand colour remain document controls. Studio and Modern give branding more visual emphasis, while Essential and Nordic are more restrained.
Are these separate invoice templates?
They are design styles, not separate copies of your content. Profession templates can provide starting data, while the design controls how that data is presented.
