Extract text from KMyMoney data files (KMY)
To convert KMY data files to another format, you need KMyMoney or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Personal Finance Database" file type, you need software like KMyMoney or a similar tool.
The .KMY file is a personal finance data file created by KMyMoney, an open-source personal finance management application. It serves as the primary storage mechanism for a user's financial accounts, transaction history, categories, budgets, and payee information.
Under the hood, .KMY files are typically GZIP compressed archives containing a structured XML file. While efficient for the application, this creates a strict dependency. Users frequently need to convert these files because .KMY is highly specialized and proprietary in its schema. You cannot open it natively in Microsoft Excel or standard web browsers. Sharing your financial data with an accountant or migrating to competing software like GNUCash or Quicken requires installing the specific desktop application just to perform an export.
The most practical conversion targets are CSV, XML, or QIF for data migration, and PDF for generating static, readable financial reports. Be aware that exporting to flat formats like CSV will strip away complex relationships between nested accounts.
Because this is an application-specific state file, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly map and export the relational data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KMY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EDI, PCK and DJVU files.
If you want to convert KMY file to XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, ODS, CSV, TSV, TAB, DIF, SLK, WK1 or WK3, you can use KMyMoney or similar software from the "Personal Finance Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert WQ1, XLSM, NOTES, QPW, WK3, WB2, WKS, XLSB, 123, XLS, WB1 or XLSX files to KMY, try KMyMoney or another comparable tool in the "Personal Finance Data Storage" category.
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 KMY converter.
