Frequently Asked Questions about E-Invoices

Is the XRechnung Viewer also available offline?

Our XRechnung Viewer runs in the browser online, but processes your e-invoice entirely locally on your device. The XML file never leaves your browser — no data is transferred to our server. This means: 100% privacy and security. You can also save the page in your browser for offline use (Progressive Web App).

Can anyone open e-invoices?

Yes, anyone can open e-invoices — however, you need a suitable program or an e-invoice viewer. E-invoices in XML format are not directly readable. With our free XRechnung Viewer, anyone can open, read, and export e-invoices as PDFs without any technical knowledge. No registration or installation is required.

How can I open ZUGFeRD invoices?

ZUGFeRD invoices can be opened in two ways: 1) The PDF format can be opened and read with any PDF reader. 2) The embedded structured XML data can be read with our XRechnung Viewer. Simply upload the ZUGFeRD file to our viewer — it automatically extracts the XML data and displays all invoice information in a structured view.

How can I recognize an e-invoice?

You can recognize e-invoices by the following characteristics: 1) File format: E-invoices usually have the extension .xml or .zugferd. 2) File content: Open the file in a text editor and you will see XML code with tags like <Invoice>, <CrossIndustryInvoice>, or similar structures. 3) Additional info: The sender should inform you that it is an e-invoice. With our viewer you can simply upload the file — if it is a valid e-invoice, it will be automatically recognized and displayed.

What is an XRechnung Viewer?

An XRechnung Viewer is software or an online tool that allows you to open and read electronic invoices in XML format. E-invoices are not directly readable by the human eye, as they are stored in a structured XML syntax. A viewer converts this technical data into a clear, understandable format.

Our free XRechnung Viewer works directly in the browser and offers the following advantages:

No installation required: Get started immediately without having to download any software
100% free: No hidden costs, no subscriptions
Maximum security: Your invoice stays local in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers
All formats: Supports XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, and other XML-based e-invoice formats
PDF export: Convert your e-invoice into a printable PDF

With the increasing adoption of e-invoice mandates in Germany and Europe, a reliable viewer is becoming more important than ever. Whether you are self-employed, a business owner, or a private individual — with our tool you can open and understand any e-invoice without hassle.
