# Bank statement to QIF

Upload a PDF or CSV statement and download a QIF file that Quicken and other QIF-reading tools can import. One entry per transaction, in the order the statement prints them.

## What the QIF file contains

- One entry per transaction, in statement order
- Date, payee, and amount in the fields QIF readers expect
- No category invented for you — the file imports cleanly and you set categories in Quicken
- A file you import directly, not a spreadsheet to tidy first

## How to convert

1. **Upload your statement** — Drop in the PDF or CSV you downloaded from your bank.
2. **Choose QIF** — Leave the output format on QIF — it is preselected on this page.
3. **Import the file** — Bring the .qif into Quicken through its file import.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I convert a bank statement to QIF?

Upload the PDF or CSV from your bank above, keep QIF as the output format, and download the .qif file. No account and nothing to install.

### What is a QIF file?

QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) is a plain-text format for moving transactions between finance programs. It stores dates, payees, and amounts as tagged lines.

### Can I convert a PDF bank statement to QIF?

Yes. A PDF statement is the most common input; upload it, pick QIF, and download the file.

### Does the file include categories?

No. Categories are guessed wrong more often than not, and a wrong category is harder to fix than an empty one, so they are left for you to set in Quicken.

### Is my statement kept after conversion?

No. The file is used only to produce your converted copy and is deleted right after.

### Do I need an account?

No. The converter works without signing up.
