PDF to QFX converter
Convert PDF bank statements into .QFXfiles that import straight into Quicken via Web Connect — no CSV, no column mapping. FlowParse AI reads any bank's statement and builds a ready-to-import bank-feed file, with .QBO (QuickBooks) and .OFX on the same download.

Get PDF statements into Quicken the way it expects
When your bank stops offering a direct connection — or only gives you PDF statements — getting that history into Quicken usually means a painful detour: export to CSV, then hand-map the date, payee and amount columns on every import and hope the formats line up. It works, but it is slow and easy to get wrong.
A .QFX fileremoves that step. It is Quicken's Web Connect format — a structured bank-feed file Quicken reads directly, so there are no columns to map. FlowParse extracts every transaction from your PDF statement and writes a valid .QFX (or .QBO for QuickBooks, or plain .OFX) that you import in one step. The same engine powers our PDF to QBO converter.

Why a .QFX beats a CSV import in Quicken
Quicken can take a CSV, but it treats it as raw data: you have to tell it which column is the date, which is the payee and which is the amount — every single time. If your statement uses a day-first date, separate debit and credit columns, or currency symbols inside the amount, the mapping breaks and you are back to cleaning a spreadsheet.
A .QFX file is already structured the way Quicken expects. The date, the signed amount, the payee and a unique transaction ID are all tagged, so Quicken just reads it — no mapping screen, no guesswork. You also get duplicate protectionfor free, because each transaction's FITID lets Quicken skip anything it has already imported.
| CSV import | .QFX file | |
|---|---|---|
| Column mapping | Manual, every time | None — auto |
| Date / amount errors | Common | Avoided |
| Duplicate protection | No | Yes (FITID) |
| Debits & credits | You fix the signs | Pre-signed |
| Import speed | Minutes of fiddling | One step |
.QFX, .QBO and .OFX — which one?
All three are members of the OFX (Open Financial Exchange) family — the same bank-feed standard, with small differences in which software reads them. The .QFX and .QBO variants add an Intuit identifier so Quicken and QuickBooks accept them as Web Connect downloads. FlowParse builds whichever you need from the same statement.
| Format | Use it for |
|---|---|
| .QFX | Quicken (Web Connect import) |
| .QBO | QuickBooks Online & Desktop (Web Connect) |
| .OFX | Most other accounting & finance tools |

From PDF to Quicken in three steps
1 · Upload the PDF
Drop your PDF bank statement — digital or scanned, any bank, any number of pages.
2 · AI builds the file
FlowParse extracts every transaction, signs the amounts, validates balances and writes a valid .QFX / .QBO / .OFX.
3 · Import into Quicken
File → File Import → Web Connect File (.QFX) → pick the account. Transactions post automatically — no mapping.
How to import the .QFX into Quicken
Quicken for Windows: File → File Import → Web Connect File (.QFX) → choose the file → confirm which account to link it to → review and accept the transactions in the register.
Quicken for Mac: File → Import → Bank or Brokerage File (OFX/QFX) → choose the .QFX → pick the account.
Because the file carries a unique ID per transaction, you can safely re-import or import overlapping statements — Quicken recognises what it already has and won't duplicate. For the account-by-account walkthrough, see bank statement to Quicken or the step-by-step QFX guide.
Works with any bank's PDF
Because extraction is AI-based rather than template-based, FlowParse reads layouts it has never seen — so you don't need a converter per bank, even for banks Quicken can no longer connect to directly:
Converting a whole year across several accounts? Use Smart Merge to consolidate them first, then export each as .QFX.
Validated before it reaches Quicken
A bad import is worse than no import. Before the .QFX is built, FlowParse checks the data so what lands in your register is complete and correct:
See the validation engine for how the checks work, or the bank statement validation overview.
