Free QBO to CSV Converter: Export QuickBooks Transactions to Excel

Why Convert QBO to CSV?

QBO files contain your bank transactions in OFX format — readable by QuickBooks but not directly by Excel or Google Sheets. Converting QBO to CSV lets you:

• Analyze transactions with pivot tables, filters, and formulas in Excel
• Share data with accountants or bookkeepers who prefer spreadsheets
• Migrate to a different accounting system
• Reconcile outside of QuickBooks with custom logic

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the converter really free?

Yes — completely free and unlimited. No signup, no trial, no hidden limits.

Does my QBO file get uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your financial data never leaves your device.

Can I convert multiple QBO files?

Yes — just repeat the process for each file. There's no daily limit.

What if my QBO file has no transactions?

Check that the file contains <STMTTRN> records. Some QBO files only contain account information without transactions — these will produce an empty CSV.
