Convert QIF bank and credit card files to QuickBooks .qbo in bulk. Each file converts in seconds; paid plans batch many files and the API automates the run.
No account needed for your first conversions. We never store your bank login.
Last updated June 2026. Bulk QIF to QBO conversion turns a folder of bank and credit card QIF files into QuickBooks .qbo files in one workflow, instead of importing each Quicken or Money export by hand. Upload one file free in the converter above to check the output in your own QuickBooks, then sign in to batch convert many files at once, with hundreds of conversions a month on paid plans and an API that automates the whole run.
Every file goes through the same checks. The converter reads each transaction's QIF tags, the date (D), payee (P), and amount (T), normalizes mixed date formats, signs credit card amounts correctly, and reconciles the parsed total against your original file before you download. You get back a real .qbo Web Connect file for QuickBooks Online or Desktop, plus matching XLSX and CSV copies, so a hundred QIF files import as cleanly as one.
QuickBooks no longer imports QIF for bank and credit card feeds at all, and its native CSV upload caps each file at 1,000 lines and 350 KB, takes one account at a time, and asks you to map columns on every upload. A .qbo carries the bank identity and a unique ID on each transaction, so it imports with no mapping screen and no size cap. For anyone clearing a backlog of QIF exports across many accounts, converting to .qbo first is the difference between an afternoon of fiddling and a few minutes.
| Approach | Files in one run | Monthly volume | Field handling | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bulk QIF to QBO converter (this tool) | Many files in a batch on paid plans | Hundreds a month, unlimited plus API on Pro | QIF tags read automatically | .qbo, plus XLSX and CSV copies |
| QuickBooks Online native CSV upload | One account at a time | 1,000 lines and 350 KB per file | Manual mapping on every upload, no QIF support | Imported rows, no reusable file |
| Desktop converter (ProperSoft, MoneyThumb) | Batch on a Windows or Mac install | Per-seat license, runs locally | Reads QIF directly | .qbo |
| Manual re-entry from Quicken | One file at a time | Limited by your patience | Retype every line by hand | Hand-keyed rows, error prone |
Built for the QIF files Quicken and finance tools actually export, checked before it exports.
The converter adds up the transactions it parsed and matches that to your file total before you export, so nothing is silently dropped.
Valid OFX 1.02 with QuickBooks Web Connect headers. Online and Desktop import it as a standard bank feed.
Date, payee, and amount are read straight from the QIF tags, so there is nothing to map and no layout to match.
Bulk upload for catch-up and cleanup work. Each file gets its own reconciliation check and its own exports.
Mixed date formats, apostrophe years, currency symbols, and split lines in a QIF are cleaned up and summed before the .qbo is built.
One conversion, three files: the .qbo for QuickBooks, an XLSX to review, and a CSV for everything else.
Three steps. No column-mapping wizard.
Drag in a .qif export from Quicken, your bank, or another finance tool. Any QIF type works.
Every transaction is parsed and checked against your file total. You see the rows before exporting.
Download the .qbo and import it as a Web Connect bank feed. Excel and CSV are in the same download.

Not through QuickBooks itself. QuickBooks Online has no QIF import for bank feeds, and Desktop dropped QIF transaction import years ago. The faster route for a backlog is to batch convert all your QIF files to .qbo first, then import each .qbo, which carries its own account identity and skips the mapping screen.
Upload one file free in the converter above to confirm the output, then sign in and add your files to a batch. Each QIF export is parsed by its tags, reconciled against its own total, and written to a separate .qbo. You download the .qbo files together and import them into the matching accounts in QuickBooks Online or Desktop.
Convert the bank QIF files to .qbo, then import each one. In QuickBooks Online, open Bank transactions, pick the account, and upload its .qbo. In Desktop, use File, Utilities, Import, Web Connect Files. Because a .qbo holds a full account history with no 350 KB cap, you can load a year per account in a single import.
QuickBooks Online has no QIF import, and its CSV fallback is limited to 1,000 lines and 350 KB per file, for one account at a time. A .qbo Web Connect file has no such cap, so a converted file can carry a full year of activity in one import. For very large histories, splitting by quarter keeps each batch easy to review and match.
No. QuickBooks Online cannot import QIF, and QuickBooks Desktop removed QIF transaction import some versions ago. The supported file for bank and card activity is a .qbo Web Connect file. To bring QIF transactions into either edition at volume, convert the QIF files to .qbo first, then import those.
Convert the year's QIF export to a single .qbo and import that. The .qbo has no line or size limit, imports with no column mapping, and matches automatically because every transaction carries a unique ID. This avoids splitting the year into 350 KB CSV chunks and remapping each one, which is what the native QuickBooks Online upload forces you to do.
QuickBooks Online does not accept QIF uploads at all, so the question becomes the .qbo you convert to. A .qbo has no 1,000-line or 350 KB ceiling, so the whole period imports at once. The converter here handles QIF files up to 10 MB on the free widget and larger files on paid plans.
Yes. Signed-in paid plans let you queue many QIF files and convert them to .qbo in one batch, rather than one at a time. Each file is reconciled against its own total before download, so a batch of fifty exports is as trustworthy as a single conversion. The free widget above converts one file so you can test the output first.
Most firms collect each client's bank and card QIF exports, batch convert them to .qbo, and import the .qbo into that client's company file. It beats hand entry because the converter reads the QIF tags for you, and the reconciled totals give a check before anything touches the books. High volume plans and the API keep a multi client close moving.
Yes, because every file is reconciled individually. The converter sums the parsed transactions and compares that to the original file before you download, and it flags any file that does not balance instead of letting it through. Running a batch does not loosen that check, so each .qbo in the set matches its source export to the cent.
Yes. The Pro plan includes API access, so you can post QIF files and receive .qbo files back without opening the browser tool. Firms wire it into a shared drive or a client portal so exports convert as they arrive. The same reconciliation runs on every API conversion, so automated output is held to the same accuracy as a manual one.
Start by uploading one file in the converter at the top to see a real .qbo come back in seconds. To run a batch, sign in and add your QIF files together; the tool reads each file's QIF tags, the date (D), payee (P), and amount (T), normalizes the dates to one format, signs each amount correctly, and reconciles each parsed total against its source. Download the .qbo files and import them into the matching accounts. There is no IIF formatting, no mapping wizard, and no 350 KB ceiling to work around.
Bookkeepers and accounting firms lean on it hardest, because month end means a stack of client QIF exports that QuickBooks will not import on its own. Businesses backfilling a year of history use it to load accounts the bank feed never reached, and teams migrating off Quicken or Microsoft Money use it to bring legacy transactions into QuickBooks without keying them. Anyone converting more than a handful of files a month saves the most.
Upload a QIF export, get a QuickBooks-ready .qbo back in seconds. No card to try it.
