Designer invoice template (revisions, usage rights, deposits)

Design work stalls when the invoice is vague. This designer invoice template covers deposits, revision rounds, usage rights and delivery formats so accounts teams approve without a follow-up email.

Designer invoice example in Kitebill

Revisions and kill fees

When clients are abroad

Invoice in the currency in the proposal. Add bilingual Arabic or Urdu labels if finance teams prefer them. Track platform fees in the app so your income report is honest.

Portfolio vs invoice (keep them separate)

Your portfolio shows selected work. Your invoice is a payment request. Do not paste a case-study essay into the Notes field. Keep Notes to scope, revisions, rights and payment terms. If the client wants process documentation, send a separate PDF.

Common rejection reasons

Create the invoice

Use the free generator for a one-off PDF, or the Kitebill app to store the client, logo (Pro) and next invoice number. Free for 3 clients / 10 invoices; Pro US$29 once.

Questions

Should usage rights appear on the invoice?

Yes, briefly. A one-line note prevents arguments later. Keep the full license text in your contract or a separate PDF.

Do I need to show hours if I quoted a fixed price?

No. Fixed-price invoices list deliverables and amounts. Hourly breakdowns are for T&M work.

Can I put my logo on the invoice?

Yes, with Kitebill Pro, which also removes the small "Created with Kitebill" credit line that free-plan invoices carry.
