Convert PDF to QFX Free →QFX (Quicken Financial Exchange) is a proprietary file format created by Intuit specifically for Quicken personal finance software. It is closely based on the open OFX (Open Financial Exchange) standard but includes a Quicken-specific application identifier — QWIN for Quicken Windows or QMAC for Quicken Mac — in the file header. This identifier tells Quicken to accept the file as a trusted bank download.
QFX files contain structured transaction records with each transaction's date, amount, type (debit or credit), payee/description, and a unique FITID (Financial Institution Transaction ID). Quicken reads these records and adds them to the corresponding account register, eliminating manual transaction entry entirely.
While OFX is an open standard supported by many applications, QFX is used almost exclusively by Quicken. If you are a Quicken user, QFX is the preferred import format. For other personal finance software, use our PDF to OFX converter.
QFX import is supported by all current and recent versions of Quicken:
Quicken Simplifi (the newer web-based app) does not support manual QFX file import — it relies on automatic bank connections only. If you use Simplifi and your bank isn't connected, convert your PDF to CSV instead and use Simplifi's manual CSV import feature.

| QFX | .qfx | Quicken (preferred format) | Quicken Starter, Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business, Mac |

Quicken can connect directly to thousands of US banks via Direct Connect and Express Web Connect. However, many smaller banks, credit unions, and international banks are not supported for direct connection. Downloading the PDF statement and converting it to QFX is the standard workaround — you get all transactions into Quicken without manual entry.
Setting up Quicken for the first time and need years of history? Direct Connect only downloads recent transactions. PDF to QFX conversion lets you import archived statements from your bank's online portal for complete historical records in Quicken.
Quicken users in the UK, Canada, and Australia who use banks that do not support Quicken Direct Connect can use PDF to QFX conversion to keep their Quicken accounts up to date. Download the monthly statement PDF, convert to QFX, and import.
QFX (Quicken Financial Exchange) is Intuit's proprietary variant of the OFX standard, designed specifically for Quicken personal finance software. It includes a Quicken-specific identifier (QWIN or QMAC) in the file header that allows Quicken to recognise it as a bank download file.
Quicken for Windows: File → Import → Bank or Brokerage File (.OFX, .QFX) → browse to your .qfx file → Import → link to your account → Continue. Quicken for Mac: File → Import → Quicken Windows File (.QFX) → select the file → Import.
QFX and OFX are very similar — QFX is Quicken's proprietary variant of the open OFX standard, with a Quicken-specific identifier in the file header. Quicken prefers QFX. For other finance software (Moneydance, GnuCash, Microsoft Money, YNAB), use our PDF to OFX converter.
QBO (.qbo) is QuickBooks' variant of OFX for QuickBooks Desktop imports. QFX (.qfx) is Quicken's variant for Quicken imports. Despite similar names, they target different software — QFX for Quicken, QBO for QuickBooks Desktop.
Quicken uses a FITID (Financial Institution Transaction ID) to detect duplicates — if a transaction with the same FITID already exists, Quicken skips it. Our converter generates unique FITIDs for each transaction. Duplicates typically occur only when importing overlapping date ranges.
