Formfeed templates

Free document templates under the MIT license: invoices, quotes, delivery notes, reminders, credit notes, certificates, payslips, timesheets, tickets, name badges, vouchers, reports, social images and shipping labels. Each is plain HTML and CSS with Jinja2, Liquid or Handlebars tags, together with the sample data it was designed with and the PDF or image it renders to.

31 templates and 20 building blocks. Every template renders on Formfeed, where each has its own page with the API call in eight languages.

Use a template

Every template's README has a Use this template link: it opens the template in Formfeed, where one click puts a copy into your workspace, published and ready for the API. A free account is enough. Or take the files:

1. Copy it. A folder under templates/ holds template.html, its stylesheet and settings, and data/default.json. The tags are ordinary Jinja2, Liquid or Handlebars; the helpers they call (money, dates, QR codes and GiroCodes, barcodes, charts) are described in the helper reference.

2. Push it into Formfeed. This repository is a Formfeed project (formfeed.json), so the CLI works in it as it is:

   git clone https://github.com/formfeed-dev/templates
   cd templates
   npx formfeed login
   npx formfeed templates push invoice-de

   Then change it in the editor, whose preview paginates like the PDF, and render it from your code: the API, the SDKs for TypeScript and Python, or Zapier, Make and n8n.

3. Check it offline. npx formfeed validate compiles every template with its own sample data and reports unknown variables and filters. No account needed.

Templates

Quotes, invoices and what follows them

	Template
	German invoice with GiroCode Line items, net, VAT and gross computed in the template, dates in German format with a due date 14 days out, a SEPA QR code banking apps scan, and a running footer with page numbers. Your code sends the facts; the template owns the legal layout.	Jinja2 · PDF
	E-invoice: ZUGFeRD and Factur-X from one template A German invoice whose data is one _invoice block. The template prints the block, and the same block becomes the XML inside the PDF: a ZUGFeRD / Factur-X invoice, a PDF/A-3 that carries factur-x.xml, validated against the rules of EN 16931 before it is delivered.	Jinja2 · PDF
	US invoice with sales tax Letter paper, dollars and US dates from the template’s en-US locale. Sales tax applies only to the lines marked taxable, a deposit reduces the balance, the status badge and the pay-online QR code follow from what is left to pay.	Jinja2 · PDF
	Till receipt on an 80 mm roll A receipt for thermal printers whose page is exactly as long as the receipt: the template writes its own @page size from the number of items and VAT rates. Prices include VAT, and the VAT analysis per rate is worked out in the template with where and sum.	Liquid · PDF
	German quote (Angebot) with optional items A quote in the German letter layout: optional positions are listed but stay out of the sum, the discount and VAT are computed in the template, and the validity date follows from the quote date. The footer carries the company details German law expects on business letters.	Jinja2 · PDF
	Quote marked as a draft The template knows nothing about the mark: post.watermark stamps DRAFT across every page after the render, so the reviewed draft and the final quote come from the same template and data. The text is sized to the page diagonal and runs from bottom left to top right. Half a unit on top of the render; /pdf/watermark marks a PDF you rendered earlier.	Liquid · PDF
	German delivery note (Lieferschein) A delivery note without prices: ordered against delivered quantities, a note on lines with a remainder to follow, the number as a Code 128 barcode for goods receipt, and a signature block that never splits across pages. Written in Liquid.	Liquid · PDF
	German packing list (Packliste) grouped by package The request sends one flat list of items; groupBy turns it into a section per package with its own table and weight, and the opening line counts packages, items and kilograms. A package never splits across two pages.	Jinja2 · PDF
	German invoice correction (Rechnungskorrektur) What is commonly called a “Gutschrift”: a correction that refers to the original invoice by number and date and shows the amounts as negatives. The data holds the positive values of the corrected lines; the template turns the sign with multiply(-1) and computes VAT on the result.	Jinja2 · PDF
	German payment reminder (Mahnung) with GiroCode A dunning letter in Handlebars: the wording changes with the final notice, open invoices are summed with interest and the reminder fee through nested helpers, and a GiroCode carries the total and the payment reference. The dunning run for all customers is one batch.	Handlebars · PDF

Certificates and HR documents

	Template
	Course certificate in Handlebars A landscape certificate with a verification QR code, rendered one at a time as PNG or for a whole course as a batch that ends in a zip. Handlebars takes options as hash arguments: {{qrcode verify_url size=96}}.	Handlebars · PDF
	German certificate of attendance (Teilnahmebescheinigung) A certificate that lists what was taught: the course modules with their teaching units, the total as a number and spelled out in German by numToWords, and a QR code to verify the certificate number. Full-bleed A4 with zero margins, rendered for a whole course as one batch.	Handlebars · PDF
	German reference letter (Arbeitszeugnis) from Markdown A text document rather than a table: the paragraphs arrive as Markdown, markdown turns them into HTML with lists and emphasis, and the template sets a serif face, justified text with hyphenation and a signature block for two signers that stays together on one page.	Liquid · PDF
	Résumé with a sidebar and skill ratings A one-page CV in two columns, full bleed. The template sorts the positions by start date, so the data can arrive in any order, writes “present” for a job without an end date, and draws each skill rating as five dots with range and lt.	Handlebars · PDF
	Confidential payslip with a password Two post-processing steps in one request: a red CONFIDENTIAL mark on every page, then AES-256 encryption with the employee’s password, allowing printing but not copying or editing. The password never reaches the render log. The download opens with the password formfeed. One unit for the page plus half a unit per step.	Handlebars · PDF
	German timesheet (Stundenzettel) with balance and projects A weekly timesheet in Handlebars: weekdays formatted in German, worked hours summed and set against the target with subtract, and the same entries grouped by project for the summary. Two signature lines stay together at the foot of the page.	Handlebars · PDF

Contracts and confirmations

	Template
	Mutual NDA with numbered clauses A two-page agreement with a running header, a footer for initials and page numbers, and clauses numbered by CSS counters, so the optional non-solicitation clause renumbers everything after it. The term is written out with numToWords: “two (2) years”.	Handlebars · PDF
	German cancellation confirmation (Kündigungsbestätigung) A plain business letter whose paragraphs depend on the data: with a refund it names the amount and the date, without one it says that nothing is open, and the data export paragraph appears only when there is a deadline. Dates are written out in German.	Handlebars · PDF
	German donation receipt (Spendenbescheinigung) A receipt for a monetary donation laid out after the wording of the official German sample: the amount in figures and, through numToWords, in capital letters as the form asks, the exemption notice of the tax office, and the liability note. It shows the mechanics; have your tax adviser check the wording for your organisation.	Liquid · PDF

Events: tickets, badges and vouchers

	Template
	Event ticket with QR code and PDF417 A print-at-home ticket on its own paper size, 210 × 80 mm without margins: a QR code for the check-in app on the stub, the ticket number again as a PDF417 strip for hand scanners, and the start time, doors and weekday formatted in German from two timestamps.	Jinja2 · PDF
	Name badges, eight per A4 sheet One request carries the whole guest list. chunk(8) cuts it into sheets of eight badges in a CSS grid of 90 × 67.5 mm cells, pageBreak() starts a new sheet between them, and default fills in a missing organisation or role. Ten guests give two pages.	Jinja2 · PDF
	Gift voucher with Tailwind, as PDF and PNG A voucher in the DIN long format, styled with Tailwind classes that are compiled at render time, arbitrary values such as h-[99mm] included. The expiry date is three years after the issue date through dateAdd, the message appears only when there is one, and the same template renders as a PNG for the mail.	Liquid · PDF

Reports, price lists and multilingual documents

	Template
	Report with a chart A cover page, a page break and a Chart.js bar chart built from the data inside the template, with pluck pulling the labels and values out of the rows. Charts render without animation, so the PDF matches the preview. Long reports go async and report back through a webhook.	Jinja2 · PDF
	Annual report with contents and bookmarks A four-page report: a cover with a linked table of contents, KPI cards, a line chart comparing two years, regions sorted by revenue and an appendix of accounts grouped by region. pdf.outline turns the headings into bookmarks, and no region is split across a page.	Jinja2 · PDF
	Trade price list with EAN barcodes A product feed goes in unsorted. groupBy makes a section per category, sortBy orders each by name, min and max give the price range in the heading, and every row carries its EAN-13 barcode. A category never breaks across a page.	Liquid · PDF
	One template, many languages Texts come from the template’s dictionary through t(), and the request’s locale picks the language and the number and date formats. The German render says “Auftragsbestätigung” and “113,50 €”, the English one “Order confirmation” and “€113.50”, from the same data.	Jinja2 · PDF

Social images and labels

	Template
	Open Graph image with Tailwind A 1200×630 social image in Liquid with Tailwind classes, compiled at render time. Liquid passes options as keyword arguments (`	image: width: 72`), and identical requests are served from the dedup cache at zero units.
	Review card, 1080×1080 A square card for Instagram and LinkedIn from one customer review: range and lt draw the rating as five stars, truncate keeps a long quote inside the square, and the date of the review is written out as month and year.	Handlebars · image
	Webinar story, 1080×1920 A 9:16 story in Liquid and Tailwind that gives the start time in three cities from one timestamp: date takes a time zone as its second argument, so London, Berlin and New York each read their own clock, winter time included.	Liquid · image
	Metrics card with a chart, 1200×675 A 16:9 card for Slack, LinkedIn or X from thirty days of orders: totals, the change on the month before, the busiest day found with sortBy and first, and a Chart.js bar chart styled for a dark background, all computed in the template.	Jinja2 · image
	Shipping label, 100×150 mm A custom paper size for thermal printers, a Code 128 tracking barcode, a QR code built from a URL and the tracking number, and the package contents summed in the template. barcode also does EAN-13, ITF-14, DataMatrix and PDF417.	Jinja2 · PDF

Building blocks

Smaller pieces for your own templates, each in all three dialects: a letterhead, an address window, an invoice table with totals, payment terms, a GiroCode, a signature line, page breaks, key figures and a chart. In the Formfeed editor each is one click in the blocks panel.
