What Our Users Say
works good, wish it had batch mode
I was spending 4-5 hours every month reformatting exports manually. This tool paid for itself in the first use. The preview feature helped me verify the mapping before paying.
exactly what i needed thx!!
Super straightforward. Upload, convert, download. No account needed which is nice. Would give 5 stars if they add Xero support.
saved me hours of work
My accountant was so happy when I sent her the converted file. No more back-and-forth about date formats or missing columns. Everything imported correctly on first try.
fast and easy 10/10 would recommend
Been using this for 6 months for monthly reconciliations. Handles all the edge cases - partial refunds, multi-line orders, currency conversions. Very reliable tool.
Good tool, does what it says. Interface could be bit better but conversion quality is excellent. Using it for my 3 Shopify stores.
Switched from A2X to this. Way simpler for my needs - I don't need real-time sync, just clean data once a month. This delivers exactly that.
finally!! something that works with QB desktop!!

Why Convert QBO Files to IIF?
What is a .qbo File?
A .qbo file is QuickBooks' version of the OFX bank download format. Many banks
offer "Web Connect" downloads as .qbo files specifically for QuickBooks users.
**Important:** .qbo files are NOT the same as QuickBooks Online (also called QBO).
This tool converts .qbo FILE downloads to IIF format for QuickBooks Desktop.
When to Use This Tool
While QuickBooks Desktop can import .qbo files directly via Web Connect,
sometimes you need more control:
- Direct Web Connect is unavailable or broken
- You need to edit transactions before import
- You're importing historical data
- You want to choose specific accounts for transactions
This tool gives you that control by converting to IIF format.
Common IIF File Import Errors
Issues you might encounter when importing OFX/QFX/QBO Bank Transactions data to IIF File - and how we solve them
Account Not Found
QuickBooks can't find the specified account name
Account 'Bank Account' not in Chart of Accounts
Create the account first or use exact name
Verify account names match your Chart of Accounts exactly
Edit account names in the tool options before converting
Transaction Doesn't Balance
IIF requires AMOUNT sum to equal zero per transaction
TRNS: 100, SPL: -90 (doesn't balance)
TRNS: 100, SPL: -100 (balances to zero)
We ensure each transaction balances correctly
All amounts are validated before export
Why Use This Tool?
Full QBO File Support
Handles all QuickBooks Web Connect .qbo files.
Balanced Transactions
Every transaction has proper double-entry (debit = credit).
Account Control
Choose exactly which accounts transactions go to.
Desktop Compatible
Works with QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Enterprise.
Transaction ID Preservation
FITID from .qbo preserved as document number.
Browser-Based Privacy
Files process locally. Your bank data never leaves your computer.
Frequently Asked Questions
No! A .qbo FILE is a bank download format (extension of OFX). QuickBooks Online (also abbreviated 'QBO') is Intuit's cloud accounting software. This tool converts .qbo FILES, not QuickBooks Online data.
They're essentially the same format. QBO is Intuit's branded version of OFX with some QuickBooks-specific metadata. Both work with this converter.
Web Connect works well, but sometimes fails or isn't available. This tool gives you manual control over the import process and lets you specify exactly which accounts to use.
IIF import works with QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Enterprise versions 2000-2025.
Yes. The Bank Account and expense/income accounts you specify must already exist in your QuickBooks Chart of Accounts.
In QuickBooks Desktop, go to File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files. Select your converted file and click Import.
