# QIF to QBO

Upload a .qif or .qfx file and download a .qbo for QuickBooks Online. This page owns both Quicken file types, because they carry the same transactions and differ only in how they are laid out.

## 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

1. **Upload the Quicken file** — A .qif or .qfx both work — the same converter reads either.
2. **Keep QBO selected** — QuickBooks is already the selected output on this page.
3. **Import into QuickBooks Online** — Bring the .qbo in through the bank feed.

## 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.

### Is my file 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.
