How to Convert From Quicken
Converting from Quicken to another personal finance management application requires transferring your existing data into the new software. Quicken files themselves are in a proprietary format, and cannot be read by other software. Instead, create a Quicken export file in Quicken Interchange Format (QIF), which has become an industry standard; nearly all financial management software can read QIF files.
