VCF to Excel Converter: Core Features and Principles

Contacts exported from smartphones or email clients are often in VCF (vCard) format, which can be difficult to edit or organize in bulk. This VCF to Excel Converter parses vCard files into structured Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx), making your contact information clear at a glance for easy filtering, editing, and archiving. Essentially, it extracts fields like name, phone number, and email from text-based business card information and writes them into spreadsheet columns.

Why Choose Our VCF to Excel Converter?

Bulk Conversion for Multiple Contacts: Even if a single VCF file contains hundreds of contacts, it can be parsed into an Excel spreadsheet all at once, with each contact occupying one row.
Automatic Core Field Extraction: Automatically identifies common fields such as name, mobile phone, landline, email, company, and address. It outputs complete details without any extra configuration.
Pure Front-End Processing for Privacy: Files are parsed entirely within your browser and are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your address book privacy is strictly protected.

How to Use the Tool

Click the upload button and select the .vcf file you want to convert, or paste the vCard text directly into the input box.
The tool will automatically detect the file encoding (UTF-8 or GBK) and parse all contact entries. If needed, you can manually select the specific fields you want to export.
Click "Start Conversion," and the system will generate an Excel download link within seconds. Click download to get your .xlsx file, which can be opened with Microsoft Excel or WPS Office.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can a VCF file contain multiple contacts?
Yes. Even if the uploaded VCF file contains dozens or hundreds of contacts, the tool can parse all of them and generate a multi-row Excel spreadsheet.
What fields will be displayed in the Excel file after conversion?
By default, it extracts common fields like name, mobile, phone, email, company, job title, and address. If you find unrecognized custom fields, we recommend checking the encoding and format of the original VCF file first.

Important Notes

We recommend uploading VCF files no larger than 20MB and containing no more than 2,000 contacts; otherwise, your browser may experience lag. The file content should ideally be UTF-8 encoded. If you encounter garbled text, try opening the file in Notepad, saving it as UTF-8, and then converting it again. The entire process runs locally with no risk of privacy leaks, though we still advise against uploading sensitive address books on public networks. If some fields are not extracted, it is likely because the property tags in the vCard do not meet standard specifications. You can manually edit the VCF file and try again.

Technical Notes & Tips

The VCF format follows vCard 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0 standards, and attribute names exported by different devices may vary slightly (e.g., TEL;CELL vs. TEL;TYPE=CELL). Our converter is compatible with common variants, but to ensure the highest extraction rate, we recommend using contacts exported in version 3.0. If you see garbled text in Excel, it is highly likely that the original file is encoded in ANSI/GB2312. In this case, you can use any text editor to "Save As" UTF-8 before uploading. The converted Excel file can also be imported into Google Contacts or Outlook, enabling seamless contact migration across different platforms.
