Free QBO to IIF Converter — No Software Required
QBOConverter is a free online tool that converts .qbo and .ofx bank files to .iif format. No software installation or QuickBooks license is needed. Upload your bank file, download the converted .iif file, and import it into any version of QuickBooks Desktop via File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files. You get 3 free conversions per day. Files are processed in memory and never stored.
Quick Start
Upload your .qbo or .ofx file → download a .iif file → import into QuickBooks Desktop via File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files. Free, no software needed.
What Does a QBO to IIF Converter Do?
A QBO to IIF converter takes the .qbo or .ofx bank transaction file your bank provides and converts it to .iif — the Intuit Interchange Format that QuickBooks Desktop can import natively via File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files.
This is useful when QuickBooks Desktop can no longer import .qbo files directly (which happens after Intuit discontinues Web Connect support for your QB version).
How to Convert QBO to IIF Free
- Download your .qbo or .ofx file from your bank's website as usual
- Upload it to the converter above
- Download the converted .iif file
- In QuickBooks Desktop: File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files
- No software installation. No QuickBooks license required. File is never stored.
Why IIF Instead of Direct QBO Import?
QuickBooks Desktop 2020, 2021, and 2022 lost Web Connect support after Intuit's 3-year sunset policy. The .iif format is older but still fully supported by all QB Desktop versions. Converting .qbo to .iif is the most reliable workaround. For details on the IIF format, see our guide: QuickBooks IIF Import Format Explained.
