- No account and no card, with no limit on CSV conversions
QIF is the oldest format on this site and the most widely understood. It predates OFX, carries no institution identifier, and describes nothing about where the statement came from. That is exactly why so many programs still read it when they read nothing else.
It is line-based rather than tagged. A one-character code opens each line: D for the date, T for the amount, P for the payee. A caret closes the entry. That simplicity is the reason it survived, and the reason a file written carelessly is still readable.
Dates are written here as four-digit MM/DD/YYYY. Quicken's own files abbreviate the 2000s with an apostrophe, as in 12/31'05. This reads that on the way in but does not reproduce it on the way out. An unambiguous date costs nothing.

A converter that tells you when it missed something.
Most tools hand you a file and let you find out in your ledger. Every conversion here is reconciled against the closing figure first. That figure is read from your statement’s balance column, or typed in from the page when there isn’t one.
When the totals don’t meet you get the exact size of the gap, every row that did read, and the converted file anyway.
Sample balance check
A transaction may be missing. Review the rows below, or re-upload including all pages.
A sample result. This is the same component the converter uses.
Client statements never leave the tab
Conversion runs in your browser, in JavaScript on this page.
Closing the tab discards the file and everything read out of it. There is nothing to delete later and nothing to breach.
There is no upload step to decline, because there is no upload. Open your browser's network tab and convert. You will see no request carrying your data.
Once this page has loaded, conversion runs with no connection at all. Useful on a client site with locked-down wifi. It also proves the file stays put.
Questions people actually ask
What is the difference between QIF and QFX?
Age and structure. QIF is a plain line-based list with a one-character code per line and no institution identifier at all. QFX is an OFX document: tagged, structured, and carrying an Intuit identifier naming the bank. They are not variants of one another. They share a vendor and very little else.
Why does the balance check ask me to type the figures?
Only when your CSV has no running-balance column. A QIF states no balance of its own, so nothing can be recovered from the output side. If the statement you started from carries a balance column, it is read from there automatically and no typing is needed.
Does my statement get uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser using JavaScript on this page. The file is read from your disk into memory, converted, and offered back as a download. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is nothing for us to store, log or delete. You can confirm this by opening your browser's network tab while you convert.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email capture and no usage limit on CSV conversion.
How do I know every transaction came through?
Every conversion shows a balance check above the results. If your file has a running balance column, the opening and closing balances are read from it. Otherwise you type them in from your statement. The check adds up every converted transaction, compares the total to the closing balance, and tells you the exact size of any difference.
My dates came out wrong. What happened?
A date like 05/01/2026 is ambiguous: 5 January in the UK and most of Europe, 1 May in the US. Turn on the day-first option and the file is re-read immediately. If your statement contains a date that can only be day-first, such as 19/02, the converter points this out before you download.
Some rows were skipped. Is that a problem?
Usually not. Totals rows, page footers, repeated column headings and blank lines carry no transaction date, so they are left out and counted. The skipped count is shown with the results so you can check it against what you expected.
Try it on the statement that’s annoying you right now.
No account, no card, no limit. If the layout isn’t recognised you will know immediately, rather than after a support ticket.
