Decades of Quicken history, one working sheet

Whether it came from a bank’s export menu last week or from a copy of Quicken retired fifteen years ago, a .qif file holds clean transaction data in a format almost nothing modern opens. This turns it into a workbook that behaves like one: real numeric amounts that sum on selection, payees and memos as proper Unicode even when the source used a legacy code page, and category and account-type columns intact for pivoting.

Dates are the format’s one honest flaw - QIF never specified day-month order - so they arrive as written rather than silently guessed. For text output use QIF to CSV; if your bank also offers OFX, OFX to Excel gives you unambiguous ISO dates.

In memory, dependency-free, gone on delivery

Financial exports get the strictest handling this site has: a dependency-free parser (plain text in, no XML engine, nothing executable), processing entirely in memory on a server with swap disabled, no logging of contents, and deletion the moment your download is delivered. Text cells are neutralised against spreadsheet formula injection; the amount column is validated numeric and left clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the workbook look like?
One Transactions sheet: Date, Amount, Payee, Memo, Number, Category, Cleared and Account type. The amount column holds real numbers - thousands separators stripped, sign preserved - so totals and pivot tables work immediately.
Why do dates arrive as text?
QIF never defined day-month order; 03/04/26 means March in one file and April in another, depending on what wrote it. Converting those strings to date cells would require a silent guess that corrupts half of all files, so the strings arrive as written and the interpretation stays yours. OFX exports carry unambiguous dates; prefer them when your bank offers both.
Several accounts in one export?
The Account type column distinguishes them, following the file’s !Type headers (Bank, CCard, Cash, and so on).
Will old files with legacy encodings read correctly?
Yes. UTF-8 first, then the common legacy code pages, so payees from 1990s exports - including Hebrew and accented European names - arrive readable Unicode.
Do you keep the file?
No. Parsed in memory by a dependency-free reader, never written to disk, never logged, deleted on delivery. Text cells carry the standard formula-injection guard.
