VCF to CSV converter (and back)
Turn a phone’s vCard export into a spreadsheet, prepare a CSV for Google Contacts, or build a VCF that iPhone and Android can import. Merge and split VCF files too.
Exports from iPhone, Android, Outlook, Gmail, iCloud — any vCard version.
Columns are matched automatically (Name, First/Last Name, Phone, Mobile, Email, Company…). Check the mapping below before converting.
How to export contacts as VCF
iPhone
Open the Contacts app → Lists → long-press All Contacts → Export. Or on iCloud.com → Contacts → select all → Export vCard.
Android
Contacts app → Fix & manage (or Settings) → Export to file. Many Android phones write vCard 2.1 with quoted-printable names; this converter decodes them correctly.
Gmail / Google Contacts
contacts.google.com → Export → vCard. To import a CSV back, choose Google Contacts import as the CSV layout above.
Outlook
Outlook exports CSV directly; to move those contacts to a phone, use CSV → VCF here and import the VCF.
What gets converted
Full name, first / middle / last name, organization, job title, every phone number with its type (mobile, home, work, fax), every e-mail, postal addresses, birthday, website and notes. vCard 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 are supported, including folded lines, escaped commas and semicolons, tel: URIs and grouped properties like item1.EMAIL. Photos are skipped in CSV because spreadsheets cannot hold them; merge and split keep every card exactly as it was, photos included.
Questions
Is there a contact limit?
No fixed limit. Tens of thousands of contacts convert in a few seconds on a normal computer.
Which CSV layout should I choose?
Simple gives one row per contact with Phone 1, Phone 2… columns — easiest to edit. Google Contacts import uses the exact headers Google expects, so labels such as Mobile and Work are kept.
Why split a VCF?
Some phones, carriers and e-mail services reject large VCF files or only import the first contact. Splitting into smaller files (or one contact per file) works around that.
