Open and read an e-invoice (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, XML)

Got an XRechnung or another e-invoice as an XML file you can't open? Drop it here to read it like a normal invoice, then print it or save it as a PDF. It all happens in your browser, so the invoice is never uploaded.

How to open an XRechnung or ZUGFeRD file

  1. Drop the XML file or the ZUGFeRD / Factur-X PDF into the box above.
  2. The invoice appears as a readable document: seller, customer, lines, VAT, totals and payment details.
  3. Print it or save it as a PDF, download any attached documents, or for a PDF, save the XML that was inside.

Common questions

How do I open an XRechnung file?

An XRechnung is an XML file meant for software, so it looks like code when you open it. Drop it here and it's shown as a normal invoice you can read, print and save as a PDF.

How can I see the data inside a ZUGFeRD or Factur-X PDF?

Drop the PDF here. Filekin finds the e-invoice XML attached inside it and shows what it says, so you can compare it with the visible page and download the XML.

Can I convert an XRechnung to PDF?

Yes. Open it here and click Print or save as PDF, then choose Save as PDF in the print window. You get a readable copy for your records. The XML stays the legal invoice.

Which formats can it read?

XRechnung in both versions (UBL and CII), ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, Peppol BIS invoices and credit notes, and other EN 16931 invoices in UBL or UN/CEFACT CII.

Is my invoice uploaded anywhere?

No. The viewer runs entirely in your browser, so the invoice never leaves your device.

Does the viewer check whether the invoice is correct?

No, it shows what's in it. To find out whether it meets the official rules, use the E-Invoice Validator.

Why does it say my PDF has no e-invoice inside?

Because it's an ordinary PDF invoice without attached XML data. Only ZUGFeRD and Factur-X PDFs carry an e-invoice inside.
