Migrating from Quicken to QuickBooks
Quicken and QuickBooks use incompatible file formats. Quicken exports QIF (a simple text format from the 1980s), while QuickBooks Online requires QBO files in OFX SGML format. There is no built-in way to import QIF into QuickBooks Online.
Our converter parses each QIF transaction — extracting the date, amount, and payee — and generates a valid OFX file that QuickBooks Online can import directly via the bank upload feature.
This is also useful for GnuCash and Microsoft Money users who need to move historical transactions into QuickBooks. Export your data as QIF, run it through this converter, and import the resulting QBO file.
Frequently asked questions
What is a QIF file?
QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) is a plain-text format used by Quicken, GnuCash, Microsoft Money, and other personal finance apps to store transactions. It uses single-letter codes for fields like Date (D), Amount (T), and Payee (P).
Why convert QIF to QBO?
QuickBooks Online does not import QIF files directly — it requires the QBO (OFX) format. If you're migrating from Quicken or another app that exports QIF, this converter bridges the gap.
How do I export QIF from Quicken?
In Quicken, open the account you want to export, go to File > Export > QIF File. Select the date range and account, then save the file.
How do I import the QBO file into QuickBooks Online?
In QuickBooks Online, go to Banking > Transactions > Upload transactions. Select the downloaded QBO file, choose your bank account, and review the imported transactions.
Does this preserve my payee names?
Yes — payee names from the QIF file are mapped to the MEMO field in the QBO file, so they appear in QuickBooks when you import.
Is there a transaction limit?
No — the converter is completely free with no limits. Your data never leaves your browser.
