XRechnung to PDF
Received a German XRechnung or ZUGFeRD invoice and don't know how to open it? XRechnung is a pure XML format with no visual layout at all, and a ZUGFeRD PDF doesn't show its embedded invoice data automatically either, so a normal PDF reader isn't enough on its own. Drop the file into our free viewer instead: you'll see it as a normal, readable invoice right away, and can print it or save it as a PDF directly in your browser. Your file never leaves your computer.
Everything happens on your device. Your file is never uploaded, stored, logged, or sent to any AI.
Supports XRechnung (CII or UBL, .xml) and ZUGFeRD / Factur-X PDFs - invoices and credit notes

Frequently asked questions
Is the printed or saved PDF legally valid?
No. The legally valid document stays the original: the XML file for XRechnung, or the PDF with embedded XML for ZUGFeRD. The PDF created here is only a readable copy.
Does my file leave my computer?
No. Everything happens in your browser – the file is never uploaded to a server.
Does this work with ZUGFeRD too?
Yes. The viewer automatically recognizes both XRechnung (pure XML) and ZUGFeRD / Factur-X (PDF with embedded XML).
Do I still need to keep the original file?
Yes. A printed or saved PDF copy doesn't replace the original file. German rules (GoBD) and the tax rules of most countries require you to keep the original electronic invoice.
Do I need an account?
No. The viewer is free to use, with no signup required.
Need invoices read into Excel automatically?
InboxDoc reads XRechnung and ZUGFeRD invoices automatically from your inbox and turns them into an Excel spreadsheet, no manual opening required.
