CSV to VCF Converter (Excel Contacts to vCard)

Turn a CSV or Excel contact list into a vCard (.vcf) file for iPhone, Android, Google or Outlook. Columns are matched automatically; files stay on your device.

The first row must hold the column names. Copying cells from Excel or Google Sheets works too.

Moving a contact list from Excel or a CRM to a phone means converting rows into vCards. Upload a CSV or Excel file (or paste the cells) and this converter matches the columns — Name, First/Last Name, Mobile, Phone, E-mail, Company, Address, Birthday, Notes, including Google and Outlook export headers and common Korean headers such as 성, 이름 and 휴대폰 — and writes a standards-compliant .vcf file that iPhone, Android, Google Contacts and Outlook can import. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose the CSV or Excel file, or paste the table with its header row.
  2. Pick vCard 3.0 (safest) or 4.0, and one file for all contacts or one per contact.
  3. Press Calculate and check the Column matching table; add an override line if a column was missed.
  4. Download the .vcf and open it on your phone or import it into your contacts app.

Formula

one table row → BEGIN:VCARD … END:VCARD

Commas, semicolons, backslashes and line breaks in values are escaped as RFC 6350 requires (\, \; \\ \n), and lines longer than 75 bytes are folded without splitting multi-byte characters. Version 3.0 always includes the N (name) field because it is mandatory there.

Example

The row Jane, Doe, +1 555 0100, jane@example.com, "Acme, Inc." under the headers First Name, Last Name, Mobile Phone, E-mail Address and Company becomes a vCard 3.0 with FN:Jane Doe, N:Doe;Jane;;;, ORG:Acme\, Inc. (the comma escaped), TEL;TYPE=CELL:+1 555 0100 and EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET:jane@example.com.

Frequently asked questions

Which vCard version should I choose?

Version 3.0 is read by every phone and contacts app. Choose 4.0 only if the receiving system asks for it.

My phone numbers lost their leading zero.

Excel stores 010-… or 0151… typed without separators as numbers and drops the 0. Format the column as Text in Excel before exporting; the converter warns when numbers look affected.

Korean names come out garbled.

CSV files saved by Korean Excel are usually in CP949 (EUC-KR). Automatic detection handles that; if not, choose the Korean encoding.

Are my contacts uploaded?

No. The file is read and converted entirely in your browser.
