About Fake Receipt Maker
The Fake Receipt Maker is a free tool that allows you to easily generate realistic thermal receipt images right in your browser.
Simply enter the store name, date, items purchased, and prices, and it will automatically calculate the totals and taxes to create a realistic receipt image (PNG). It's perfect for a variety of joke and entertainment purposes, such as creating meme images for social media, props for video production, or playing store with kids. All image processing is done locally on your smartphone or PC, meaning the data you enter is never sent to an external server, allowing you to use it safely and privately.
How to Make a Receipt Image
Enter Store Information and Date
In the form on the left side of the screen (or top on mobile), enter a fictional store name, address, phone number, cashier name, and purchase date and time. Your input will be reflected in real-time in the preview screen on the right.
Add Items and Prices
In the "Purchased Items" section, enter the item name, quantity, and price. You can add as many items as you want by clicking the "Add Item" button. Changing the tax rate will automatically calculate the totals.
Download Receipt Image
Check the appearance of the receipt in the preview screen, and if everything looks good, click the "Download Image" button. A realistic thermal paper-style PNG image with zigzag cut edges will be saved.
Receipt Maker Glossary
- Thermal Paper
- A special paper that changes color to black when heat is applied. Widely used as receipt paper in actual cash registers, this tool uses Canvas drawing processes to mimic its unique blurry printing and paper texture.
- Canvas API
- An HTML5 technology used to dynamically draw graphics, text, and images within a web browser. In this tool, it is used to convert the entered text data into pixel data to create a single receipt image.
- Monospace Font
- A font where every character has the same width. It is essential for aligning the digits of amounts on a receipt, and this tool uses monospace fonts like Courier to recreate realistic printing.
- Local Processing
- A system where data is not sent to an internet server but is processed entirely within the user's device (browser). You don't have to worry about personal information or fictional data leaking outside.
- PNG Format
- One of the image file formats. Because the outlines of text are saved crisply, it is ideal for saving and sharing text-heavy images like receipts without loss of quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q.Are the data I enter or the generated images saved?
- No, all data you enter and the generated receipt images are processed entirely within your device. They are never sent to or saved on our servers. You can use it in a completely private and secure environment.
- Q.Can I use it for commercial purposes or share it on social media?
- The images themselves can be freely shared on social media or used as props for videos and plays. However, using the fake receipts created with this tool for fraudulent activities, false expense claims, or deceiving others is strictly prohibited by law. Please use it for entertainment purposes only.
- Q.Can I make a receipt on my smartphone?
- Yes, you can use it without any problems from the browser on your iPhone or Android device. On a smartphone, you can fill out the form at the top of the screen and check the preview at the bottom while creating.
- Q.How many items can I add?
- There is no particular system limit, but if you add too many, the generated image will become too long vertically, and an error may occur when downloading. We recommend using a reasonable length (up to a few dozen items).
- Q.Can I print foreign languages or special characters on the receipt?
- It depends on the monospace fonts installed on your device, but basic English, Japanese, numbers, and symbols will be printed without issues. Emojis may be drawn in black and white or misaligned due to Canvas specifications.
