Convert an Excel contact list into a vCard file you can import into your phone.
Choose filesDrag and drop or select an Excel or CSV file
Supports .xlsx, .xls, and .csv. The first row must contain column headers.
Max 1 MB
Upload a spreadsheet and match its columns to preview contacts and create a VCF contact file.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This converter reads one Excel or CSV file and creates a downloadable vCard contact file, commonly saved with the .vcf extension. It accepts .xlsx, .xls, and .csv inputs up to 1 MB. It reads the first worksheet only. The first nonempty row is treated as the header row, and the remaining nonempty rows are candidate contacts.
vCard is a text format for exchanging contact details. You can choose version 3.0 or 4.0; the IETF specifications define the formats and contact properties, but the contacts app receiving a file determines which features and versions it imports successfully.
The converter can map spreadsheet columns to name, mobile number, work phone, email, organization, job title, address, and note. It tries to recognize familiar header names, then lets you change each mapping or exclude a field. It does not infer arbitrary columns into additional contact properties. Rows without a name, mobile, work phone, or email are omitted from the generated cards.
A preview shows up to five rows and a contact count. The generated file can be copied or downloaded. Converting creates a file; it does not add contacts directly to a phone, address book, or cloud account.
Phone numbers are contact text, not quantities. Spreadsheet software may remove leading zeros, reinterpret long digit strings, or change formatting before conversion. If a number or postal-like value matters, format that spreadsheet column as text before exporting or inspect the preview carefully. The converter cannot restore digits that were already lost in the source sheet.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Put one contact per row, column names in the first nonempty row, and keep the fields you want to export in separate columns. Review phone-number cells for leading zeros or scientific notation before saving.
Select an XLSX, XLS, or CSV file no larger than 1 MB. Only its first worksheet is read.
Review the detected columns for each contact field. Correct a match, choose “Do not export,” or leave an optional field unmapped.
Select 3.0 or 4.0 based on the receiving app’s supported import format. Review the contact preview and count.
Copy the generated vCard text or download the VCF file, then import it through the contacts app you intend to use.
For example, map “Full Name,” “Mobile,” and “Email” headers to the corresponding contact fields. A row containing only a company name, with no name, phone, or email, will not produce a card.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
An office coordinator can map names, work numbers, email, and departments into a VCF file, then test import it in the organization’s chosen contacts app.
A user can export a spreadsheet as VCF and then import that file on a phone. The import step happens in the phone’s contacts app after download.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
Compatibility varies. Choose the version supported by the destination app and test a small file before converting a large address book.
Rows need at least one mapped name, mobile number, work phone, or email to become a card. Check the field mapping and source cells for blank values.
No. It uses only the first worksheet in the workbook. Move the intended contact table to the first worksheet before conversion.
No. If spreadsheet software already changed the value, the converter receives the changed value. Preserve phone numbers as text in the source and inspect the preview.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
The converter processes the spreadsheet in the browser and generates a VCF file for you to copy or download; it does not directly modify your contacts. Contact data is sensitive: handle the source and output according to your organization’s policies, and store or share the downloaded file carefully. Import support and treatment of optional fields vary by the destination contacts app. Confirm a sample import before replacing or merging a full address book.
