Everything a shoot-to-payment workflow needs

No double data entry. No generic templates. No chasing.

Invoice in under 60 seconds

Pick a client, pick a licence template, hit send. Auto-numbering, GST and totals are handled for you.

Licensing built in

The only invoicing tool that generates formal usage-licence wording — usage, territory, duration, exclusivity — right on the invoice. Photos, video, design, illustration.

Get paid online

Every invoice has a secure payment page with card, Apple Pay and Google Pay via Stripe. Paid invoices reconcile automatically.

Premium PDFs

Branded PDFs with your logo, colours, licence agreement, bank details and a scan-to-pay QR code.

Reminders & retainers on autopilot

Payment nudges before and after due dates — and weekly, fortnightly or monthly recurring invoices that bill your retainer clients without you lifting a finger.

Australian GST done right

GST inclusive, exclusive or none — with correct 1/11 maths, ABN display and tax-invoice formatting.

The killer feature

Stop giving away rights you never priced

Most creatives hand over files with no licence at all — then watch a one-off social shoot end up on a billboard, or a $900 logo used across a national campaign. LensInvoice puts the licence on the invoice: choose usage, territory, duration and exclusivity, and formal wording is generated and attached automatically. Rights transfer only on payment.

19 ready-made templates: weddings, brand films, logo & identity design, illustration, motion graphics, real estate, product, fashion campaigns, creator packages and more — plus fully custom templates.

Made for people who'd rather be creating

The licence block alone is worth it. A client tried to run my event photos as paid ads — I pointed at clause 2 and invoiced the upgrade.

Quote approved on Friday, converted to an invoice in one click, paid by Apple Pay before the weekend was over.

Josh R.

Videographer, Gold Coast

A client wanted my logo design on national billboards a year later. The licence on the original invoice made the upsell conversation easy — and paid.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Xero or QuickBooks?+

Those are accounting suites. LensInvoice is built for creative work: it understands usage rights, generates licence wording on the invoice itself, and gets you from shoot to sent in under a minute. Export-friendly records mean your accountant stays happy.

Is the licence wording legally binding?+

The generated wording follows standard Australian licensing structure (grant, territory, duration, exclusivity, reservation of rights, moral rights) and covers photographic, video, design and illustrative works. It's a professional starting point — we recommend a one-off review by your lawyer, after which you can reuse your templates forever.

How do clients pay?+

Each invoice has a secure link where clients view the invoice, download the PDF, read the licence and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay via Stripe. Bank transfer details and a QR code are on the PDF too.

Does it handle GST correctly?+

Yes — GST exclusive, GST inclusive (1/11 component) or no GST for unregistered sole traders, with compliant tax-invoice formatting either way.

Can I use my own branding?+

Upload your logo and set brand colours; they flow through invoices, PDFs, emails and the client portal. Pro removes LensInvoice branding entirely.

Can I bill retainer clients automatically?+

Yes. Open any invoice and choose Make Recurring — weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Each cycle a fresh invoice is generated with the same line items, GST and licence, then auto-sent with a payment link (or held as a draft for review). Cadence never drifts, and you can pause any schedule with one switch.

What happens when I hit the free limit?+

Your data is never locked. You can still view, edit and get paid on existing invoices — you just can't send new ones until next month or an upgrade.
