Where did you get it from?

Not sure I understand when to use ifrån vs från? Any way to simplify it for me. Tack

When used as a preposition, they are synonymous.
According to the below links, only ifrån is used as an adverb.
(från | Svenska Akademiens ordböcker)
(ifrån – SO | Svenska Akademiens ordböcker)

This sentence could also be formulated as “Varifrån har du fått det?”; there is no word “varfrån”.
