Within the Quicken File menu, the Export function automatically creates a QIF file that can be imported into other Quicken data files. The following apply:
- The QIF file must have a name between three and eight characters in length followed by the qif extension for the Quicken program to recognize it.

Quicken Interchange Format (QIF) is a non-proprietary data format. Although Intuit originally developed QIF, and certain Intuit products (including this product) still contain the ability to import or export files in QIF format, Intuit does not endorse or provide support for this format. For this reason, Intuit does not know the identities of all institutions and processors that support QIF.
