Transaction data can be exported to a number of formats, some of which are intended to be opened and processed only with certain finance management applications. If you need to perform conversions between these formats, you often need to rely on a specialized utility.

qxf2qif Convert is a relatively straightforward program that enables you to perform conversions between the Quicken QXF and QIF formats. It sports a minimalistic, if somewhat outdated UI, and it is very easy to use.

First-time users will be pleased to find that the setup process is remarkably straightforward. Even though Java Runtime Environment is required for the program to function correctly, the software is downloaded and installed automatically.

After launching the application, you can read the short instructions listed in the main window to get started. They are in no way complex, and a more extensive user manual is also available.

To begin with, you should access the application’s settings in order to select the format dates should be written in. You can choose between the US (month-day) and EU (day-month) formats.

Next, you only need to click the Convert button and browse to the file you wish to process. However, it would have been great if the application offered support for drag and drop actions.

The output file is saved in the same folder, and you can analyze the log to make sure there are no issues. Sadly, you do not have the option of sending the converted files to a different location.

All in all, qxf2qif Convert would benefit from a couple of extra features, as well as a modernized UI, but the application does its job and can be very helpful for users who need to perform conversions between the QXF and QIF formats. It comes with extensive documentation and features an intuitive UI layout.
