Attachment to the invoice (optional)
For example the delivery note or the goods receipt record from the live barcode scanner. One file up to 700 KB: PDF, PNG, JPG, CSV or Excel. It is then contained in the e-invoice itself.
Required fields are marked with *. For XRechnung you also need your address, email and phone, the customer's email and buyer reference, plus the IBAN. If anything is missing, we'll tell you exactly what.

How it works
- 1 Enter your details, the customer and the lines in the form. If you like, your browser remembers your own details.
- 2 Choose ZUGFeRD PDF or XRechnung. You see totals and VAT right away, and small businesses just tick the box.
- 3 Start creating it. The invoice is generated in Germany and checked with the official validator, and nothing is stored.
- 4 Download the finished e-invoice and send it to your customer.
How the tool works
What it does
Fill in a simple form for sender, customer and line items, and the net amount, tax and total appear instantly. You get a ZUGFeRD PDF or an XRechnung. Options are 19%, 7%, tax-exempt, reverse charge and the small-business exemption under § 19 UStG, each with the matching note on the invoice.
How it's built
The server calculates totals in whole cents, rounded commercially per tax rate. The ZUGFeRD PDF is a PDF/A-3 in the EN 16931 profile, and the XRechnung follows version 3.0. Before that, the official KoSIT validator checks the invoice, and if it doesn't pass, you get a note on what's missing instead of a file. Your data is sent encrypted, processed in Germany and deleted right afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my input?
Your input is transferred encrypted and processed in Germany only for this one conversion. It is deleted right after the result is delivered; the content is neither stored nor analyzed. For very sensitive documents, we recommend our tools where the file stays on your device, such as “Redact patient data”.
Is this a real e-invoice?
Yes. You get a ZUGFeRD PDF in the EN 16931 profile or an XRechnung 3.0. Before you can download it, the KoSIT validator checks it against every rule. If it fails, you get no file but a note on what's missing. No tool can tell whether the content and tax rate are right for your case: that's up to you or your tax adviser.
Are there limits on file size or page count?
Yes, so the tool stays free for everyone: text and data up to 1 MB per job. On top of that there's a generous daily allowance. Once it's used up, you can carry on the next day.
Is the tool free?
Yes. All tools on Gatefrog are free to use, with no sign-up, no installation and no watermark from us.
