Gift Voucher Generator
Exports as an A5 landscape PDF or a high-resolution PNG, ready to print or send by email.
Selling gift vouchers is one of the easiest ways for a small business to bring in cash and new customers, but most owners do not want to pay for design software to make one. This generator builds a clean, professional gift voucher from your details, with a live preview, and exports a print-ready PDF or a high-resolution PNG. Set the value, add a personal message, a code, and an expiry date, upload your logo, add a scannable barcode, match the colour to your brand, and print or email it. Everything runs in your browser.

Example
Business: Sunset Cafe. Value: 25 dollars. Message: 'Enjoy a coffee and cake on us'. Code: GIFT-4827, valid for six months. Download the PDF, print a batch, and sell them at the counter for the holidays.
A salon offers 'One free blow-dry' as the value instead of a cash amount, adds the client's name in the To field, and emails the PNG as a birthday gift voucher. No cash figure is needed - the value can be any wording.
Common use cases
- Cafes, salons, and shops selling gift vouchers over the holidays
- Service businesses offering a free or discounted session as a gift
- Rewarding loyal customers or competition winners with a voucher
- Restaurants creating last-minute gift certificates for walk-in buyers
- Online sellers emailing a digital voucher after a gift purchase
Common mistakes
- Leaving off an expiry date - an open-ended voucher is a liability that can be redeemed years later.
- Forgetting a unique code - without a code you cannot track which vouchers have been redeemed.
- Setting a value with poor contrast colour - keep the accent readable when printed.
- Printing the PNG for a large run - use the PDF, which is sized for clean A5 printing.
Frequently asked questions
Can the value be words instead of an amount?
Yes. The value field accepts any text, so you can enter a cash amount like 50 dollars or a service like 'One free class'. Whatever you type appears as the large headline on the voucher.
What size does it print at?
The PDF exports as A5 landscape, a common voucher size that prints two to a page on A4 or cleanly on its own. The PNG is a high-resolution image of the same design for emailing or posting online.
Should I add an expiry date and code?
It is strongly recommended. An expiry date limits your liability, and a unique code lets you track redemptions and prevent copies being reused. Both fields are optional but useful for any paid voucher.
Can I make a batch of different vouchers?
Yes. Change the code or recipient and download again for each one. Because it runs in your browser there is no limit and no account needed.
Is my information uploaded?
No. The voucher is built and exported entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a server, stored, or shared.
Can I match it to my brand colour?
Yes. Use the accent colour picker to set the top bar and headings to your brand colour. The preview updates live so you can match your logo before downloading.
Can I add my logo and a barcode?
Yes. Upload your logo and it appears at the top of the voucher, and turn on the barcode option to add a scannable Code 128 barcode of your voucher code so staff can scan it at the till. Both are optional, and like everything else they are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
