Drop an XRechnung XML file here

or drop it anywhere in this box · XML files up to 10 MB. XRechnung 3.0 in UBL or CII syntax.

What format is this?

An XRechnung carries the same information as a paper invoice — invoice number, supplier, buyer, line items, VAT and the amount due — but as structured XML. That is why opening it directly usually shows a tree of tags instead of an invoice.

Two syntaxes are allowed: UBL (root element Invoice) andCII (root element CrossIndustryInvoice). Both are read here and presented identically.

How it works

  1. Choose an XML file or drop it into the box.
  2. The file is read inside your browser — no upload.
  3. The format and profile are detected (XRechnung 3.0, UBL or CII).
  4. The invoice is rendered as a readable document.
  5. Preflight checks report missing required data and totals that do not add up.
  6. Print it or save it as a PDF if you need a copy.

Frequently asked questions

What is an XRechnung?
XRechnung is the German standard for electronic invoices sent to public authorities. The invoice is an XML file following the European norm EN 16931 — written for software rather than for people.
Is my invoice uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read inside your browser. It is never sent to a server, never stored, and nothing about it is kept once you close the page.
Which formats are supported?
This release reads XRechnung 3.0 in both syntaxes: UBL and CII. Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, Peppol BIS and generic UBL invoices are planned for later releases.
What is the difference between UBL and CII?
They are two XML syntaxes for the same content. UBL comes from OASIS, CII from UN/CEFACT. Whichever your supplier used, the invoice is normalized into the same view here.
Can I save the invoice as a PDF?
Yes. Print / Save as PDF opens your browser's print dialog, where you can choose to save as PDF. The printed page shows the readable invoice without any controls.
Does this tool tell me whether my invoice is valid?
It runs its own preflight checks: required information present, totals adding up. That is explicitly not an official XRechnung or EN 16931 validation.
