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.

Customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, and payment terms are all migrated to Xero contacts format.

Use our dedicated tools: QBO Vendors to Xero, QBO Products to Xero, QBO Invoices to Xero, QBO Accounts to Xero, and QBO Bank to Xero.
