How It Works

Three steps from a PDF to XRechnung-ready XML.

Step 1

Upload Your PDF

Upload digital or scanned PDFs. Layout, language, and template do not matter: the engine reads them the way an accountant would.

Step 2

Works Without Templates

Our AI and OCR engine reads your document, identifies all invoice fields (business partners, line items, VAT groups, totals) and generates XRechnung-compliant XML per EN 16931.

Step 3

Download Your XML

Get a clean, well-formed XRechnung XML file (UBL or CII) ready for submission to public authorities or integration into your ERP systems.

Why Extract XRechnung XML with Get ZUGFeRD?

Digital PDFs, scans, and photographed invoices all become machine-readable XRechnung data, read by OCR and AI rather than fixed templates.

AI Reads the Invoice for You

No template setup per supplier: the engine understands layouts it has never seen, in German, English, and other languages.

Every BT Field in Its Place

Automatically maps extracted data to XRechnung (UBL / CII) fields per EN 16931.

XML Your ERP Accepts

The output is validated against EN 16931 before you see it, ready for DATEV import or delivery to a public authority.

XML or JSON, Your Choice

Take the embedded XML out exactly as it is, or receive the same invoice data as structured JSON for your own systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about extracting and generating XRechnung XML.

We support XRechnung (UBL and CII), ZUGFeRD, and UBL 2.1 output formats. Choose the schema that matches your e-invoicing requirements.
No. You can upload any standard PDF invoice, even legacy or scanned documents. Our AI reads the visual layout and generates XRechnung-compliant XML from scratch.
Parties, line items, VAT groups, and totals are extracted with high accuracy and then validated against the EN 16931 calculation rules, so inconsistent sums are caught before download.
Yes. The OCR layer handles image-only PDFs; a legible scan at roughly 200 DPI or better gives the best results.
"Extract existing XML" pulls the already-embedded XRechnung or ZUGFeRD XML from a compliant invoice. "Generate XML from invoice" uses AI and OCR to read any standard PDF and create XRechnung-compliant XML from scratch.
GoBD Archive

Receiving e-invoices? You must archive them properly.

Since 2015, the GoBD, the tax office's rules for digital records, have applied to every business, freelancers included: digital invoices must be kept as the original file, unchanged, exportable and readable for the whole 8-year retention period. With the e-invoicing mandate a print no longer counts. Our archive takes care of it for you.

  • Every invoice stored exactly as it arrived: XML, PDF or photo
  • Locked against changes, so nothing can be altered afterwards
  • A second copy in another German data centre
  • Find any invoice by date and export it with an index for your tax advisor
  • Team access: several team members can work in the same archive
  • No ERP, no installation: right next to your e-invoicing tools
