What’s VCF?
The standard contacts file. Phones, Google Contacts, Outlook and iCloud export and import it.
This VCF to CSV converter turns a vCard contacts file into a spreadsheet you can open in Excel or Google Sheets, or import into Google Contacts and Outlook. Every contact in the file becomes one row. Your contact list is read in your browser and never uploaded.
What’s in the CSV
The columns use the same names as a Google Contacts export, such as “Phone 1 - Value”, so the CSV imports straight back into Google Contacts.
- Name: first, middle and last name, prefix, suffix and nickname, plus the display name.
- Every phone number and email, each with its label (Mobile, Work, Home…). A contact with three numbers fills three phone columns.
- Postal addresses, split into street, city, region, postal code and country.
- Company, job title, department, birthday, website and notes.
Which VCF files work
vCard 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0, as exported by iPhone, Android, Google Contacts, Outlook, iCloud and older Nokia and Samsung phones. Names saved in quoted-printable (common in old Android backups) are decoded, so Arabic, Urdu, Hindi and other names show correctly. Contact photos aren’t copied into the CSV.
Opening it in Excel
The CSV is saved as UTF-8 with a marker that tells Excel the encoding, so names in any language open correctly. Phone numbers are stored exactly as in the VCF, but Excel may show long numbers as 9.23E+11 or drop a leading 0 when it opens a CSV. To keep them, open the file with Data › From Text/CSV and set the phone columns to Text. Google Sheets keeps them as they are.
