# Convert QlikView Applications

The Convert QlikView Applications step retrieves all QlikView applications specified in the migration plan, converts them to Qlik Sense applications, and saves the resulting `.QVF` files in the Converted Apps folder inside the project directory on the server.

## Prerequisite steps

This step has no prerequisites.

## Step details

### Conversion process

This step leverages the underlying [QlikView to Qlik Sense Converter Tool](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/Qv2qsMigration/Home.htm) (QV2QS) to perform conversions, but does so programmatically through API calls.

By automating the process, the migration tool simplifies and scales the conversion of `.QVW` files to `.QVF` format, ensuring consistency across larger migrations.

### Output

All converted applications are stored in the `Converted Apps` folder within the project. They can then be imported into Qlik Cloud through the [Import QlikView Applications](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/AnalyticsMigrationTool/Managing-Migration-Steps/QlikView/Import-QlikView-Applications.htm) step.

## Notes

A successful conversion requires setting the **Export Type** to

> With Data

in the plan.

The resulting Qlik Sense application will likely require further UI edits upon import. Information about expected edits and limitations can be found in [Adjustments Required](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/Qv2qsMigration/conversion-results/conversion-outcomes.htm#anchor-5) and [Conversion Scope](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/migration/Content/Qv2qsMigration/known-limitations/conversion-scope.htm).
