# Export (ZIP)

Download all your invoices and credit notes in one ZIP with PDFs, UBL files and a CSV overview for Excel. Handy for your accountant and your archive.

Under **Export** you download your invoices as a single ZIP file. Handy for your accountant, your VAT return or your own archive.

> **Pro**
>
> The ZIP export for a period is part of Pro. The ZIP with invoices that will be deleted soon is available on every plan.

## Making an export

1. Go to **Export**.
2. Choose a period: **This year**, **Last year**, **This quarter**, **Last quarter**, **Everything** or **Custom**. The period is based on the invoice date.
3. Click **Download ZIP**.

Drafts aren't included.

## What's inside?

| Folder or file | Contents |
| --- | --- |
| `pdf/` | The PDF of every invoice and credit note, exactly as your customer received it, with the UBL embedded. |
| `ubl/` | The UBL file (Peppol BIS 3 / NLCIUS) of every invoice, for your accounting software. |
| `invoices.csv` | An overview of all invoices. |

### The CSV overview

The CSV file opens directly in Excel with Dutch settings (semicolon as separator and a comma for decimals). The column names are in Dutch:

Nummer (number), Soort (kind), Factuurdatum (invoice date), Vervaldatum (due date), Klant (customer), Btw-nummer klant (customer VAT number), Subtotaal, Btw (VAT), Totaal, Valuta (currency), Status, Betaald op (paid on), Wisselkoers (exchange rate), Subtotaal (EUR), Btw (EUR), Totaal (EUR).

Credit notes have negative amounts in the euro columns, cancelled invoices have 0. Amounts in another currency are converted to euros with the invoice's [exchange rate](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/invoices/currencies).

## Deleted soon (every plan)

On the Free plan we keep invoices for 60 days. Under **Deleted soon** you download all invoices we'll delete within 30 days in one ZIP, with the same contents. See [Storage and retention](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/retention).

## Through the API

`GET /api/v1/export?from=2026-01-01&to=2026-03-31` returns the ZIP (Pro). See the [endpoint reference](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/api/reference).

> **Every quarter**
