Export Quicken (QIF)

PDF statements do not import as QIF.

Older finance software still accepts QIF but cannot do anything with the PDF your bank supplies. Converting the statement gives it dated, categorized transactions in its native import shape.

How it works

From PDF to QIF

  1. 1

    Upload the statement

    Add the PDF statement, including scanned, multi-page, and password-protected files up to 50 MB.

  2. 2

    Check the extracted transactions

    Bankflow extracts the rows and checks them against the statement's opening and closing balances before export.

  3. 3

    Scope the export

    Filter to the account, period, category, or transaction set the destination actually needs.

  4. 4

    Download the .qif file

    QIF uses a fixed record layout rather than spreadsheet headers, including date, payee, amount, and category data. Import the .qif file into the destination account, then review its imported transactions before reconciling.

Built for a clean QIF handoff

The format's expected layout

QIF uses a fixed record layout rather than spreadsheet headers, including date, payee, amount, and category data.

Reviewed transactions first

Correct descriptions, merchants, and categories while the data is still easy to edit, then export the cleaned rows.

Balance-checked source data

The statement's opening and closing balances are checked against the extracted rows, so a missing page is flagged before it reaches another system.

Only the rows you chose

Exports follow the active view, so a single statement can yield a monthly file, an account-specific file, or a category-specific file without re-reading the PDF.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I convert a PDF bank statement to QIF?

Upload the statement, review the extracted transactions, filter to the rows you need, and choose QIF in Export. Bankflow downloads the .qif file in the format's expected layout.

What fields are in the QIF export?

QIF uses a fixed record layout rather than spreadsheet headers, including date, payee, amount, and category data.

Can I export only part of a statement?

Yes. Filter by account, date, category, amount, or transaction selection before exporting; the download contains only the rows in that scope.

Are the source transactions checked before export?

Yes. Extraction is checked against the statement's printed opening and closing balances, which flags incomplete parses before you download the file.
