QIF to QBO
Upload a .qif file and download a .qbo for QuickBooks Online. QIF is Quicken’s old plain-text format and QuickBooks Online does not read it; the .qbo carries the same transactions with dates, payees and signed amounts in the fields QuickBooks imports. A .qfx file works here too, and has its own page.

What the QBO file contains
- One transaction per line, in the order the source file lists them
- Dates, descriptions, and amounts mapped to the fields the import reads
- Debits and credits on the side the source file puts them
- A file for the bank-feed import, not a spreadsheet to clean up first
How to convert
Upload the Quicken file
A .qif or .qfx both work — the same converter reads either.
Keep QBO selected
QuickBooks is already the selected output on this page.
Import into QuickBooks Online
Bring the .qbo in through the bank feed.
Statements it handles
Layouts differ from bank to bank, so nothing is matched against a fixed template. An unusual statement still produces a table you can check before exporting — which is what makes it usable for bookkeepers and accountants who receive statements from every client.
PDF statements and CSV exports
A statement downloaded from your bank, or the CSV your bank lets you export. Both arrive as the same clean table.
Multi-page statements, read as one table
A statement that runs over several pages — or several statements uploaded together — is read as one continuous table, not one file per page.
Amounts and dates kept as your bank prints them
Debit and credit signs, decimal places and date formats are left as printed, so the numbers still reconcile against the statement.
Scanned, image-only PDFs, read with OCR
A statement with no text layer is read with OCR and may need a quick review — the one case where a row can come out wrong.

Frequently asked questions
Does it take QIF or QFX?
Both. QFX is Quicken’s variant of OFX and QIF is the older flat format; they carry the same transactions, so either can be dropped in here.
QIF, QFX, OFX, QBO — what are they?
Four ways to describe the same transactions. QIF is the oldest and simplest, OFX and QFX are structured bank-feed formats, and QBO is the variant QuickBooks Online imports.
Will categories come across?
Categories are a decision rather than data, so they are set in QuickBooks after the import instead of being mapped across.
Can I move my whole Quicken data file to QuickBooks this way?
No — this converts transaction files, not a Quicken company or data file with its accounts, categories and history. Use it to bring an account’s transactions into QuickBooks Online; a full Quicken-to-QuickBooks migration is a separate job.
Is it free?
Each QIF file counts as one page, and the first 3 pages of your first upload are free. After that it is $0.20 a file with a $3.90 minimum per batch.
Is my file kept after conversion?
No. The file is deleted when the conversion finishes; only the converted copy stays at your private link.
Do I need an account?
No. The converter works without signing up.
