Upload an XML e-invoice up to 20 MB. The tool recognises UBL 2.1 invoices and credit notes, as used by XRechnung and Peppol, and UN/CEFACT CII invoices, as used by Factur-X and ZUGFeRD. It shows the format, invoice number, seller, buyer, number of lines and total, then renders a clean PDF with the parties, line items, tax breakdown, payment details, terms and notes. It recalculates the totals and warns if they differ from the amount due in the XML, or if document-level allowances are present that are not shown as lines. You can attach the original XML inside the PDF, and pick an accent colour. It reads standalone XML files only, so it does not extract XML from an existing ZUGFeRD PDF, and it is not a formal validator.

Frequently asked questions

Which XML formats can it read?

UBL 2.1 invoices and credit notes, which covers XRechnung and Peppol BIS files, and UN/CEFACT CII invoices, which covers Factur-X and ZUGFeRD XML. Other XML files are rejected with a message saying the format was not recognised.

Can it read the XML inside a ZUGFeRD PDF?

No. It accepts standalone .xml files only. If you have a ZUGFeRD or Factur-X PDF, open it in a reader that shows attachments, save the embedded factur-x.xml or zugferd-invoice.xml file, and upload that here.

Does it validate the e-invoice?

No. It checks that the XML can be read and compares the recalculated total with the amount due stated in the file, but it does not test the business rules. Use the KoSIT validator or your own portal for compliance checks.

Why does it warn that the totals differ?

The tool rebuilds the totals from the lines. Prepayments, rounding, or discounts and charges applied to the whole invoice can make that differ from the amount due in the XML. Check the original before approving payment.

Is the invoice uploaded?

No. The XML is parsed and the PDF is built in your browser, so supplier details, invoice amounts and bank information never leave your device or reach our servers.
