What is an XBRL file
Why an XBRL file won’t open with a double click
An XBRL file is a data file made to be read by software, not by people. Each figure in the financial statements comes with tags that say what it is, for which period and in which currency. That’s why, if you open it directly, you see code or your computer doesn’t know which program to use.
An XBRL viewer reads those tags using the CMF taxonomy, the official dictionary for each figure, and arranges them as financial statements. The line items keep their official names in Spanish, as defined by the CMF. The viewer reads files filed with Chile’s CMF; it does not open SEC or ESEF filings.

Who the XBRL Viewer is for

It also helps you check your own XBRL before or after filing it.
Before you open your file
What people usually ask before using the viewer
“Why do I need to create an account?”
The account is all we ask in exchange for the viewer: name, work email, mobile number and company. We send the link to use it to that email.
“Is it safe to upload my financial statements?”
The file is used only to display and download it, and it’s deleted when you finish. Your registration data is handled according to our privacy policy (in Spanish).
“Is it really free?”
Yes. The viewer is free and requires no credit card: every month we email you a link to use it once. What you pay for is the full Siopea software, to prepare and validate your own XBRL.
“Will you flood me with emails?”
You get the viewer link every month. Siopea news is separate: only if you tick the optional box, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Does your company file XBRL with the CMF?
The viewer is one part of Siopea. With Siopea, your team enters the financial statements on screen or in Excel, validates them against CMF rules and generates the XBRL ready to file. Discover the XBRL software for the CMF.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about XBRL files
What program opens an XBRL file?
An XBRL file opens with an XBRL viewer, which shows it as financial statements. Common programs, such as Notepad or a web browser, only show the code.
Which file do I upload to the viewer?
The .zip file exactly as it’s downloaded from the CMF website. You don’t need to unzip it.
How many times can I use the XBRL Viewer?
Once a month. Every month we email you a new link to open an XBRL file and download it in Excel.
Can an XBRL file be opened in Excel?
Not directly: Excel doesn’t understand XBRL tags. You first need to run it through a viewer or converter, such as the Siopea XBRL Viewer, which downloads it in Excel or PDF.
Where do I download a Chilean company’s XBRL?
Companies that file with the CMF publish their financial statements on the CMF website, on each entity’s page.
What’s the difference between XBRL and iXBRL?
XBRL is the data file that software reads; iXBRL (Inline XBRL) combines that same data with a version people can read, like a web page.
