Convert UBL XML to CII XML

Drag and drop your UBL XML file here, or click to browse.

Why Convert UBL to CII?

Move from the Peppol UBL syntax to the CII syntax that Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, and XRechnung are built on.

Faithful EN 16931 Mapping

UBL and CII are two syntaxes for the same EN 16931 data model. Every business term, party, line item, and tax group is mapped across, not re-keyed.

Ready for Factur-X and ZUGFeRD

CII is the XML that gets embedded into a Factur-X or ZUGFeRD hybrid PDF. This conversion is the missing first step.

Private by Design

Your XML is processed in-memory over TLS and never stored on our servers. It is purged the moment your request is complete.

Instant and Free

No installs, no plugins, no account. Drop your UBL XML and download the CII XML straight away.
