Convert Quicken files into the formats other software reads. Turn a Quicken QIF export into QBO, QFX, OFX, Excel or CSV, reconciled before you download it.
No account needed for your first conversions. We never store your bank login.
A Quicken file converter takes the QIF file Quicken exports and rewrites it as a format another program will actually open. Upload the .qif at the top of this page and you get back a QuickBooks Web Connect (.qbo) file, a Quicken or bank style .qfx, a plain .ofx, an Excel workbook, or a CSV. Nothing is installed, the transactions are reconciled against the file totals before you download, and the same upload produces every format.
Last updated July 2026. This is the hub page for every Quicken conversion this tool performs. Each format has its own page with the specific import steps for the software on the other end, linked in the table below. If you are not sure which format you need, the short version is: QuickBooks wants QBO, Quicken and most US banks speak QFX, other finance apps take OFX, and humans want Excel.
What this converter reads is the QIF export, not the .QDF data file itself. That is a real distinction and it trips people up. A QDF is Quicken's private database, encrypted and versioned, and no third party tool opens one. QIF is the plain text export Quicken has produced since the DOS era, and it is the only sanctioned way to get your register out of Quicken for Windows.
| You want to get data into | Convert your QIF to | Why that format | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| QuickBooks Online or Desktop | QBO (Web Connect) | Imports as a bank feed with duplicate protection, no column mapping | QIF to QBO |
| Quicken on another machine, or a bank style import | QFX | Quicken's branded flavor of OFX, accepted by Quicken Classic | QIF to QFX |
| Moneydance, Banktivity, GnuCash, most other apps | OFX | The open banking standard nearly every finance app reads | QIF to OFX |
| Excel, Google Sheets, a workpaper | XLSX | Real columns you can sort, filter and pivot | QIF to Excel |
| Xero, Wave, a bookkeeping import, a database | CSV | Universal, maps into any importer that takes columns | QIF to CSV |
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.

Export the account from Quicken as a QIF file, upload that file to the converter above, pick your output format, and download the result. The whole loop takes under a minute per account. In Quicken for Windows the export lives under File, then File Export, then QIF File, where you choose the account and the date range.
Two details are worth getting right at export time. First, export one account per QIF unless you genuinely want them merged, because most destination programs import into a single account and will pile everything into it otherwise. Second, set the date range deliberately. Exporting the full history is fine for an archive, but when you are loading a destination that already has recent transactions, exporting only the missing months saves you a deduplication headache later.
No. A .QDF is Quicken's own database file, and no converter, including this one, can open it. Quicken itself is the only software that reads QDF. To get data out you open the file in Quicken and export it, which produces a QIF on Windows or a CSV on Mac, and you convert that export instead.
This matters most when someone hands you a QDF and no longer has Quicken installed, which happens constantly in estate work and in bookkeeping cleanups. The only route is a Quicken install that can open the file version, even a trial, long enough to run the export. There is no shortcut, and any tool claiming to convert QDF directly is worth a hard look.
Free converters exist, mostly abandoned desktop utilities from the 2000s and a few web tools. The practical problems are accuracy and privacy: old utilities mangle Quicken's two digit apostrophe years and split transactions, and uploading a full financial register to an anonymous site is not a small decision. This converter shows you the parsed transactions and a reconciled total before anything downloads, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
Accuracy sounds like marketing until a conversion drops a split. A single missed transaction in a 900 line register does not announce itself. It shows up months later as a reconciliation that will not close, and finding it costs more than any converter charges.
Quicken for Windows exports QIF (per account, with a date range), QXF (a Quicken to Quicken transfer file), and CSV or Excel from any report. Quicken for Mac has not offered QIF export since 2007, so its practical export routes are a CSV register export and report exports. Only QIF and CSV are useful for moving data to non Quicken software.
QXF deserves a footnote because people find it and assume it is the universal export. It is not. QXF exists to move a Quicken file between Quicken installations, most often Windows to Mac, and nothing outside Quicken reads it. If your destination is QuickBooks, Excel, or any other app, QIF is the export you want.
QuickBooks accepts QBO (Web Connect), QFX, OFX and CSV for bank transaction imports. It does not accept QIF at all, in any version, which is why a Quicken file cannot go straight in. QBO is the best of the four because it arrives as a bank feed, carries a unique ID per transaction so duplicates are skipped, and needs no column mapping.
CSV is the fallback everyone reaches for and then regrets. It works, but you map columns by hand every time, dates get misread between US and other orders, and QuickBooks has no way to tell a re-import from a new transaction, so overlapping ranges duplicate. Converting to QBO takes the same minute and removes all three problems.
Splits are parsed and preserved in the spreadsheet outputs, where every line of the split is visible with its own category and amount. Banking style transactions convert cleanly to QBO, QFX and OFX. Investment registers are the harder case, because the QBO and OFX banking formats have no place to put lots, cost basis, or share counts.
If you are moving an investment account, convert it to Excel for the record and enter opening positions manually in the destination. That is not a limitation of this tool: QuickBooks does not track a brokerage account as a brokerage account either, so a clean spreadsheet plus a journal entry is the workflow every accountant uses for this.
Upload a QIF export, get a QuickBooks-ready .qbo back in seconds. No card to try it.
Upload one QIF at the top of the page and check the output against the register before you commit to a full migration. From here, the common next steps are converting Quicken to QuickBooks end to end, weighing up Quicken alternatives, moving a business file with Quicken Home and Business to QuickBooks, moving in from SEE Finance to QuickBooks, reading what is actually inside a QIF file, or checking how OFX, QFX, QBO and QIF differ before you pick an output.
