How to Use This Tool
This tool converts QBO files into QIF format. It runs directly in your browser — your financial data is never uploaded anywhere.
QBO is QuickBooks’ Web Connect format; QIF is Quicken’s older plain-text interchange format, still required by Quicken 2013 and earlier and some legacy finance software.
- Provide your QBO file — Paste the file content or drop your .qbo file onto the File tab.
- Check the account type — Bank or Credit Card, detected from the file automatically.
- Download the QIF file — Then import it in your app (in old Quicken: File → Import → QIF File).
FAQ
4 questionsDoes this tool upload my financial data?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your bank transactions never leave your device — no server receives, stores, or processes them.
Why would I convert QBO to QIF?
QBO is QuickBooks' Web Connect format, but Quicken 2013 and earlier — and some other finance apps — only accept QIF. Converting lets those older programs import a modern bank download.
What information is lost in the conversion?
QIF has no transaction ID field, so FITIDs from your QBO file are dropped. That means Quicken's duplicate detection won't recognize these transactions if you also import the same data another way. Dates, amounts, payees, memos, and check numbers all carry over.
How is the Bank vs Credit Card type chosen?
It's detected from your QBO file automatically — a credit card statement produces a !Type:CCard header, a bank statement produces !Type:Bank. You can override it before downloading.
