qfx2qif Convert

The QIF file format is no longer be endorsed by Intuit, but older versions of Quicken, as well as various other finance programs, can still work with these files. If you rely on one of them, you may need a utility to help you convert transactions.

qfx2qif Convert is a compact application that enables you to perform conversions between the QFX and QIF formats. It makes it easy to migrate your transactions, and it is very easy to use.

Before anything else, it is worth pointing out that this application requires Java Runtime Environment to be available on your machine. This is something to consider if you prefer not to install additional software, but it doesn’t complicate the setup process too much.

Thankfully, qfx2qif Convert downloads and installs JRE during the setup procedure, so there is no need to obtain the required software yourself.

Once you have installed the program, you should access the Settings panel and perform some simple configurations. You only need to define the account type and select the date format, although you can also provide an account name for Quicken.

Finally, you can import any QFX file stored on your hard drive, and the application will save the generated QIF file in the same folder. However, drag and drop actions are not supported, and the output file cannot be exported to another location.

A brief but helpful user guide is displayed in the main program window upon launch, and every other action performed by the software is listed in the log, which can be saved or cleared at any time.

Novices should find the application’s user interface to be self-explanatory, if somewhat outdated. Detailed documentation is also available for those who run into any issues.

Overall, qfx2qif Convert is a simple, easy-to-use application that does its job well, without unnecessary fuss. It could be improved in a couple of respects, but it is a great choice for those who need a straightforward QFX to QIF conversion utility.
