.QBI File

The qbi file extension is associated with Quickbooks, line of business accounting software developed and marketed by Intuit.

The .qbi files contain images, which holds transactions that have been written until they are posted to the hard drive. It keeps the memory-resident changes to the data file while QuickBooks has the file open. When the .qbw file is closed, the .qbi file will be deleted automatically by QuickBooks. If .obi file is present when QuickBooks is not running, it probably means QuickBooks crashed.

Do not delete the .qbi file when the .qbw file is opened in QuickBooks.

How to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .qbi file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
