Home Inventory Generator

Build a room-by-room inventory of what you own, with serial numbers and values, and export it as a PDF.

Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, there is no account, and the PDF is built on your own device. We count how often this tool is opened and used — a number, with nothing attached to it. What that means.

The household

Your inventory is saved in this browser as you type.

How it works

  1. Add a room, then add the items in it. Serial numbers matter more than descriptions.
  2. Your work is kept in this browser as you type, so you can stop and come back.
  3. Export the whole inventory as a PDF, room by room, with totals.

Why use this rather than the printable?

After a fire or a burglary almost nobody can list what they owned. Writing it by hand is the reason people never finish; typing it, room by room, with the list saved as you go, is the reason they do.

Both exist on purpose. If you would rather not type anything, the blank printable versions below are free, need no browser and never change. The tool is for when the personalised version is worth three minutes.

Questions

Where is my inventory stored?

In your own browser, on your own device, using local storage. It is never uploaded and we never see it. That also means it is not backed up by us: export the PDF and keep a copy somewhere other than the house.

Will my insurer accept it?

Ask them. Insurers set their own requirements and some want photographs or a professional valuation in a particular form. What this does is make sure the information exists at all, which is the part people leave until it is too late.

What if I clear my browser data?

The inventory goes with it. That is the trade-off for not having an account. Export a PDF whenever you have added a batch of items.
