Open, check & convert

Drop in an XML e-invoice (XRechnung, Peppol, UBL or CII) or a Factur-X / ZUGFeRD PDF. You'll see it as a readable invoice, get any problems explained in plain English, and can convert it to the format you need with one click.

Drop an invoice here, or click to choose .xml (XRechnung, Peppol, UBL, CII) or .pdf (Factur-X, ZUGFeRD). Max 15 MB.

Your invoice never leaves your browser. Viewing, checking and converting all happen on your device. We only count that something was checked or converted (the format and whether it worked), never what's in the file.

Who it's for

E-invoices are files for computers, not people. Vatlane is the free tool for the humans who still have to deal with them.

You send invoices

Check your invoice before your customer rejects it. If they need a different format, such as XRechnung, Factur-X or Peppol, convert it in one click.

You're an accountant

Questions

Is my invoice uploaded anywhere?

No. Viewing, checking and converting all run in your browser on your device. Only an anonymous counter is sent (the format and whether it worked), never the file or anything in it.

Is it really free?

Yes. Opening, checking and converting single invoices is free with no account. Pro will add features for people who handle e-invoices regularly, such as creating invoices from a form and batch conversion.

Which formats do you support?

XRechnung 3.0 (UBL and CII), ZUGFeRD 2.x, Factur-X 1.0, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, and the core EU standard EN 16931 in UBL and CII. Poland's KSeF is on the roadmap.

Is the readable PDF a legal invoice?

No. It's a readable copy for you to look at and file. The original e-invoice file remains the legal invoice. If you need a PDF that is an e-invoice, convert to Factur-X / ZUGFeRD, which embeds the structured data inside the PDF.

Can I send invoices over Peppol?

Not yet. You can convert to Peppol format and download it, but sending over the Peppol network needs a certified access point. In Germany and France you can send e-invoices by email, so converting and downloading is enough there.

Does "valid" mean the invoice is legally compliant?

It means the file passes the official EN 16931 business rules, plus Peppol and XRechnung checks where they apply. Some requirements, like a buyer's own extra rules or national tax-law content, are outside automated checks. Treat it as a strong technical check, not tax advice.

Do you license the engine to software companies?

Yes. The validation, conversion and PDF engine behind Vatlane is available as a self-hosted licence. Email shivani@vatlane.com.
