What's the Difference Between QBO and IIF?
QuickBooks supports two main import formats:
- QBO (Web Connect): The modern format for QuickBooks Online and newer Desktop versions. Preserves transaction details and is the recommended format.
- IIF (Intuit Interchange Format): The legacy format for QuickBooks Desktop. Still widely used for complex imports.
Our converter supports both formats, so you can choose the one that works best for your QuickBooks version.
Step 1: Upload Your Bank Statement
Start by uploading your PDF bank statement:
- Go to our Accounting Export tool
- Drag and drop your PDF or click to upload
- Wait for the PDF to be processed (usually 2-3 seconds)
Our AI automatically detects and extracts transaction tables from any bank's statement format.
Step 2: Review Extracted Data
Before exporting, review the extracted transactions:
- Verify dates are correctly parsed
