03 / Importing it
Importing the QIF file.
Quicken for Windows
- File, then File Import, then QIF File, and pick the account. Current versions take QIF into any account; versions from 2005 to 2017 only into cash, asset and liability accounts (use the .qfx file there).
Quicken for Mac
- File, then Import, then Bank or Brokerage File.
GnuCash, Microsoft Money, Banktivity, MoneyWiz
- File, then Import, then QIF.
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.
- Choose MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY to match your app’s region: QIF has no date standard. Credit cards are written as a card register.
06 / Questions
Straight answers.
Is this IIF to QIF 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 QIF 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.
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.
Does it work for credit cards?
Yes. You can also set the account type to Credit card in the panel, and the QIF file is written as a card statement.
