GnuCashToQIF

GnuCashToQIF is an easy-to-use Java-based application that enables you to convert GnuCash XML files to QIF format, as the name implies.
It doesn't include complicated options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users, even those inexperienced with file conversion software.

No setup necessary, aside from Java

As long as you have Java set up on your computer, you don't need to install anything else. It means that you can save the .jar file anywhere on the hard drive and just click it to launch the app.
You can also save a copy to a pen drive to directly run it on any machine with Java installed to convert files. It doesn't modify Windows registry settings.

Straightforward interface and options

At startup, you are greeted by a file browser that you can use to locate a GnuCash XML file to open. In the next phase, all you have to do is specify the output destination, file name and QIF type in order to proceed with the conversion procedure.
Furthermore, GnuCashToQIF can be asked to ignore unused accounts and to extract memos from descriptions. There are no other notable options provided by this piece of software.
