A ProperConvert alternative that runs in your browser
Convert bank CSV and Excel files to QBO, QFX, OFX or QIF without installing desktop software. Free up to 150 transactions per file; nothing is uploaded.
ProperConvert (by ProperSoft) is a well-established desktop converter for bank files. If you only need to turn a bank or card CSV into a file QuickBooks, Quicken or Xero will import, Bankfold does that in a browser tab — no download, no install, no account.

FAQ
Is Bankfold really free?
Yes, for files up to 150 transactions, in every output format, with no signup. Pro ($5 for 7 days, $9/month or $59/year) removes the limit and merges several statements into one import.
Does Bankfold install anything?
No. It's a web page. The conversion code runs in your browser tab and your file is never uploaded.
Is it really private?
Yes. Your file is read and converted by JavaScript running in your browser tab. Its contents are never sent over the network. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools (Network tab), or disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded — conversion still works.
Which banks are supported?
Any bank or card that exports CSV, TXT or Excel — Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, Citi, American Express, RBC, TD, Barclays, HSBC, Monzo, Revolut, CommBank, Sparkasse and thousands more. Bankfold detects the columns automatically, and you can change any column with a dropdown; your choice is remembered for that layout.
Can it convert PDF statements?
Not directly — Bankfold converts CSV and spreadsheet exports. For PDF statements, use our sister tool TidyLedger, which also runs entirely in your browser.
Will QuickBooks import duplicates if I convert overlapping statements?
No, as long as the transactions are the same. Every transaction gets an ID based on its date, amount and description, so QuickBooks and Quicken recognize ones they've already imported.
Which file should I download?
QuickBooks Desktop or Online: QBO. Quicken: QFX. Xero, Sage, Wave, FreeAgent, GnuCash and most other apps: OFX. Older software: QIF. QuickBooks Online also accepts our 3- or 4-column CSV.
What's free?
Every format, one file at a time, up to 150 transactions per conversion. No account needed. Pro removes the limit and lets you merge several statements into one import with duplicates removed.
