How to use Convert CSV to vCard
- 1. Paste your CSV of contacts. Drop rows with a header naming each field, such as name and email, into the input pane. The first row's column names are used as the vCard properties for each contact.
- 2. Review how fields map to vCard. Recognized headers like name and email map to standard vCard fields such as FN and EMAIL automatically, so structuring your header row well is what determines how complete each card is.
- 3. Copy the vCard output. Copy the generated BEGIN:VCARD blocks, one per row, and save them as a .vcf file to import into a phone's contacts app, Outlook, or any address book that reads vCard.
When to use Convert CSV to vCard
Convert CSV to vCard turns a spreadsheet of names and details into individual vCard contact cards, one per row. It's for moving a contact list out of a spreadsheet and into an address book that expects the vCard format.
- Importing a spreadsheet contact list into a phone. You maintain a team roster or client list in a spreadsheet and need everyone in your phone's contacts app. Converting it to vCard produces a .vcf file most phones import directly.
- Migrating contacts between address book apps. You exported contacts from one service as CSV but the destination app only imports vCard files. This conversion bridges the two formats without retyping every entry.
- Bulk-adding event attendees to Outlook. An event registration tool exports attendee names and emails as CSV. Converting the list to vCard lets you import everyone into Outlook or another mail client's contacts in one step.
Examples
One contact per row (first row is the header)
Input
name,email Ada,ada@lovelace.org
Output
BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 FN:Ada EMAIL:ada@lovelace.org END:VCARD
