Common Conversion Questions

Do my accounts need to exist first?

Yes. The bank account, income account, and expense account names must exist in your QuickBooks Chart of Accounts before importing.

How do I import the IIF file?

In QuickBooks Desktop: File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files. Select your downloaded file and click Import.

Can I import OFX files directly into QuickBooks Desktop?

No, QuickBooks Desktop doesn't directly support OFX format. You must convert OFX files to QBO or IIF format first before importing.

Why Convert OFX to IIF?

The Bank Feed Alternative

QuickBooks Desktop's Bank Feeds can be unreliable or unavailable for some banks. OFX files downloaded directly from your bank give you complete control over which transactions you import and when. QuickBooks Desktop can't import OFX files directly for all transaction types—it requires IIF (Intuit Interchange Format) for full transaction import with proper account assignments.

What This Tool Does

We convert your bank's OFX/QFX/QBO download to IIF format: - Deposits become balanced DEPOSIT transactions - Payments become balanced CHECK transactions - Transfers are handled as GENERAL JOURNAL entries - All transactions balance (debits = credits) Import via File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.
No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.

No, QuickBooks Desktop doesn't directly support OFX format. You must convert OFX files to QBO or IIF format first before importing.
When banks provide downloads through Web Connect, they sometimes convert QBO files to OFX format during download. You'll need to convert it back or use IIF as an alternative.
IIF (Interchange File Format) is a text-based format that QuickBooks won't discontinue support for, making it ideal for long-term bank import compatibility.
Check that accounts exist in your company file, verify the IIF file structure in a text editor, and ensure data matches your chart of accounts exactly.
