How to import the QIF file

Quicken (Windows)

  1. Go to File, then File Import, then QIF File.
  2. Select the .qif file from FileInto.
  3. Choose the Quicken account to import into, then Next.
  4. Review the imported transactions in the register.

Other apps

  1. Look for Import, then QIF in the File menu (Banktivity, Moneydance, MoneyWiz and others).
  2. Select the .qif file from FileInto.
  3. Pick the account to import into.

Problems and fixes

Dates show up as numbers like 46298
That is how Excel stores dates. FileInto reads real Excel dates, so this only happens when the column is formatted as text. Format the column as Date in Excel and save again.
Summary rows at the top are counted
Rows without a valid date are skipped and listed under "rows skipped". Delete totals and notes at the bottom if they have dates.
Quicken won’t import QIF into a bank account
Recent Quicken versions only accept QIF for some account types. Use QFX instead: switch "Save as" to QFX for Quicken.
Transactions are duplicated
QIF has no transaction ids, so apps can’t tell what you already imported. Import each date range once, or use OFX or QFX, which carry ids.
Dates are wrong
QIF dates are written month first. If your app expects day first, check its import date setting.

Questions

What is a QIF file?
QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) is an older plain-text format for transactions. Many apps still read it, but it has no ids to prevent duplicates.
Is my spreadsheet uploaded?
No. FileInto opens it inside your browser tab.
Which Excel formats work?
.xlsx and older .xls files. Only the first sheet is read.
Can I convert a CSV instead?
Yes. Drop a .csv file into the same converter; it reads both.
What are the limits?
Files up to 25 MB. Every file gets a full preview free. Downloads up to 25 transactions are free, no account needed; a Day Pass ($9 for 24 hours) or Unlimited ($7 a month) has no row limit. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers and phones.
