Peppol to PDF

Upload or paste your Peppol UBL XML invoice or credit note above. The tool parses every field and renders a professional invoice preview instantly. Click "Download PDF" to save it as a PDF using your browser's print-to-PDF. No signup, no upload to a server.

It is a free, browser-based converter that turns a machine-readable Peppol / UBL XML invoice into a human-readable PDF document. It runs entirely on your device, so it works offline and keeps your invoice data private.

Peppol itself is a network for exchanging electronic documents, not a file format. A Peppol invoice is carried as structured XML, almost always in the UBL 2.1 syntax defined by Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (or the CII syntax). That XML is what this tool converts into a readable PDF.

A PDF is a visual document meant for humans to read. A Peppol invoice is structured XML meant for accounting software to process automatically, with every field (seller, buyer, VAT, line items) machine-readable. A PDF cannot be booked automatically; a Peppol XML invoice can. This tool bridges the two by rendering the XML as a PDF you can view, print or archive.

Yes. The tool supports both UBL Invoice and UBL CreditNote documents. Credit notes use the same professional layout and are clearly labelled "Credit Note" in the header.

Entirely in your browser. The XML is parsed and rendered client-side and never leaves your device. For automated, server-side conversion you can use our API endpoint instead. API documentation

All standard Peppol BIS 3.0 / EN16931 fields: seller and buyer details with addresses, invoice number, dates, line items with descriptions and quantities, unit prices, VAT breakdown, totals, payment information (IBAN, BIC), delivery details, allowances, charges, notes and document references.

Yes. A conversion settings panel lets you toggle individual fields and sections on or off (references, payment details, VAT breakdown, line-item columns, delivery, notes and more) with a live preview. Fields your invoice does not contain are greyed out automatically. You can also add your own logo, set an accent colour, and choose A4 or Letter paper size.

Yes. Some invoices carry an attached PDF inside the XML as an EmbeddedDocumentBinaryObject (common in hybrid Factur-X / ZUGFeRD style documents). When the tool detects one, it offers a one-click download of that original attached PDF, alongside the PDF it generates from the data.

The on-page converter renders UBL (Peppol BIS 3.0 / EN16931) Invoice and CreditNote XML. For CII, XRechnung and Factur-X / ZUGFeRD, use our dedicated validators. If a Factur-X or ZUGFeRD file embeds a readable PDF layer, this converter can also extract it. Factur-X validator

Not with this tool. It works in one direction: it renders an existing Peppol / UBL XML invoice as a readable PDF. Going the other way (PDF to Peppol) is a fundamentally different job, because a plain PDF holds no structured data. To turn a PDF into a Peppol invoice you either re-key or extract the values (invoice number, parties, VAT, line items) into an e-invoicing tool that outputs UBL, or your accounting software generates the Peppol XML directly. The exception is a hybrid Factur-X / ZUGFeRD PDF that already embeds the XML inside it. Factur-X validator

A reliable one-click PDF-to-UBL converter does not really exist, because a PDF is pixels, not data. Any product that claims to convert PDF to UBL is doing document data extraction (OCR plus field mapping) and then building the UBL XML from what it read, which needs review for accuracy. The clean path is to have the source system emit UBL directly. If your PDF is actually a hybrid Factur-X / ZUGFeRD file, the UBL or CII XML is already embedded and can be pulled straight out. UBL vs CII vs Factur-X explained

Feed the PDF's invoice data into a system that speaks Peppol. In practice that means entering or importing the invoice into accounting or e-invoicing software that produces EN16931-compliant UBL and sends it over the Peppol network through an Access Point. This XML-to-PDF tool only handles the reverse, readable direction; once you have valid Peppol UBL, you can validate it here for free. What is Peppol e-invoicing?

Peppol invoices are already UBL XML, so there is usually nothing to "convert" between XML and UBL: UBL is the XML syntax. If you have a UBL file and want to check it is correct rather than render it, use our UBL validator, which runs it against EN16931 and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 rules. UBL validator

It is completely free with no signup, no account and no watermark. There is no limit on the number of invoices you convert.
