About GFI files
The .GFI file is primarily a General Index of Financial Information (GIFI) export used in Canada for corporate tax reporting. It also occasionally serves as a Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data file created by Galactic Industries software, or an ESAin ESApro technical data sheet. GIFI files are generated by accounting software like Intuit QuickBooks to be imported into professional tax applications such as ProFile or Taxprep. The format is highly specialized and restrictive. A GIFI file is essentially a structured text file that is difficult to read manually without the correct mapping codes. Without dedicated tax or accounting software, users cannot view or audit the financial data properly. Converting .GFI tax data to CSV or TXT is often required so the balances can be audited in Microsoft Excel. For spectroscopy data, converting to standard SPC or CSV is recommended. Standard online converters usually fail to process .GFI files because they do not recognize the proprietary CRA accounting mapping codes or the binary Galactic spectroscopy structures. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible using convert.guru. If our analysis detects text-based GIFI data or a supported embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GFI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GFI file to JPG, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR, PSD or PSB, you can use Intuit QuickBooks or similar software from the "Tax Data Export" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

The GFI Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GFI converter.
