04 / The IIF file
Getting a QuickBooks Desktop IIF file.
Intuit Interchange Format: tab-separated text QuickBooks Desktop imports. Each transaction is a TRNS line and its split (SPL) lines, which add up to zero.
- Point-of-sale, payroll and other tools that “export to QuickBooks Desktop” often write IIF.
- QuickBooks Desktop itself exports lists as IIF (File, Utilities, Export).
Have a bank statement PDF instead? The bank statement converter reads it in your browser too.
05 / Good to know
The details that matter.
- Dates like 03/04/2026 can mean March or April. The order is worked out from the file (a day over 12 decides it), and you can switch it when nothing does.
- You pick the account whose transactions you want; bank and card accounts are offered first. Each transaction’s other side becomes its category.
- The report never looks like a bank statement: it is titled “Transaction report”, says on every page that it is not a bank statement, shows only the last 4 digits of the account number, and has no bank name or balance boxes.
06 / Questions
Straight answers.
Is this IIF to PDF converter free?
Yes, for 2 files a day with no account. A free account (just your email, no password) gives you 2 more, and paid plans have no daily limit. It runs in your browser, and nothing is stored.
Is my IIF file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and the PDF file is written by code running in this browser tab. Neither is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and convert a file.
Is the PDF a bank statement?
No, and it is made so it can’t pass for one. It is a transaction report: titled as such, marked “Not a bank statement. Not issued by a bank.” on every page, with no bank name, logo or balance boxes, and only the last 4 digits of the account number.
How are dates read?
IIF files write dates in the order of the program that made them (MM/DD in the US, DD/MM in most other places). The order is worked out from the dates themselves, and you can switch it in the panel when nothing in the file decides it.
