What is an IMFX file?

IMFX files mostly belong to Invoicing software. IMFX files are invoice message format containers that package invoice data in a ZIP archive structure.
They follow the Factur-X standard, meaning the file holds both machine-readable XML and sometimes human-readable data for invoices.
Key details compiled by FilExt.com include:
  • ZIP Archive: The internal format is compressed using ZIP.
  • Invoice Message: The file carries detailed invoice data for automated processing.
  • Factur-X Standard: They are used as a container for electronic invoice messages.
  • Extraction: You can open these files with common ZIP extraction tools to view the enclosed XML or PDF files.
  • FilExt.com tip: For viewing, use a ZIP file extractor (like 7-Zip or WinZip) and then load the XML with an invoicing or text editor tool designed for such data.

The XML portion contains structured invoice data according to the UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice XML standard, while the PDF/A-3 part provides a visually presentable version of the invoice, often including attachments like delivery notes or order confirmations. This combination makes Factur-X invoices suitable for various accounting systems and archiving purposes, promoting interoperability and compliance with legal requirements. This file format is classified as Invoice.
