How to Use This Tool

This tool converts legacy QIF files into QBO format. It runs directly in your browser — your financial data is never uploaded anywhere.

QIF is Quicken’s older plain-text format; QBO is what QuickBooks imports today. Dates, amounts, payees, memos, and check numbers carry over, with transaction IDs generated for clean importing.

  1. Provide your QIF file — Paste the file content or drop your .qif file onto the File tab.
  2. Enter account details — QIF files don’t include them, so add your account number and institution info.
  3. Download the QBO file — Then import it into QuickBooks (Banking → Upload transactions).

FAQ

5 questions
Does 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 QIF to QBO?
QuickBooks has never imported QIF. Converting to QBO (Web Connect) lets you bring QIF exports from old Quicken or other legacy apps into QuickBooks.
Why do I have to enter account details?
QIF files carry almost no account information, but the QBO format requires an account number, type, and institution details. Fill them in once and the converter builds a complete file around your transactions.
How are transaction IDs handled?
QIF has no transaction IDs, so the converter generates stable FITIDs from each transaction's date, amount, and payee. Duplicate detection works within this file, but converting overlapping QIF exports separately can still produce duplicates on import.
What happens to QIF categories?
They're dropped — the QBO format has no category field. Categories are a Quicken-side concept; you can re-categorize after importing.
