The oldest export format still in the wild
QIF predates OFX, predates online banking, nearly predates the web - and plenty of banks, credit unions and accounting tools still offer it as an export option, while decades of personal finance history sit in .qif files from retired copies of Quicken and Microsoft Money. The format is plain text and refreshingly simple; the tools that read it are what disappeared.
This converts it to a CSV that behaves: amounts stripped of thousands separators so they sum, payees and memos decoded correctly even from legacy encodings, categories and cleared status preserved, and a column carrying the account type when one file holds several sections. One honest caveat: QIF dates never specified day-month order, so they are passed through as written rather than silently guessed - the one place where guessing would mean corrupting data. Banks that offer OFX solve that properly.
Your financial history stays yours
A QIF export is years of transactions in one file. It is parsed here by a dependency-free text reader, entirely in memory, never written to disk, never logged, and deleted the moment your download is delivered. On the way out, text cells are neutralised against spreadsheet formula injection while amount cells are validated as pure numbers and left clean for arithmetic.
Want a ready workbook instead? QIF to Excel types the amount column numerically. Building an import pipeline? The API runs this at /api/convert/qif-to-csv.
