Excel to VCF — contacts from a spreadsheet to your phone
Convert an Excel (.xlsx) contact list to a .vcf file for iPhone, Android, iCloud or Gmail. Columns are recognised by their names.
About this conversion
A client list, a class register, a phone tree for the building — they live in Excel, and the phone only takes a .vcf. Open the workbook here: the first sheet is read, the header row tells which column is the name, the mobile, the email or the company, and each row becomes a contact card. Birthdays stored as Excel dates come out as real dates, not as numbers like 33200.
Just want to look inside it?
The same tool without converting anything: open the file and read it.
The same contacts, any way out
The file is read once and stays open, so the format is picked at the end: the same list
can leave here as CSV, CSV for Google Contacts, CSV for Outlook or PDF. Before that you can search it, see which people are saved
twice — the same number written as (555) 201-4477 in one file and
+15552014477 in another counts as one — and fold the duplicates into a single
card without losing any phone, address or note.
Questions
- Does it need a particular template?
- No. Any first row that names the columns works — “Name”, “Mobile”, “E-mail”, “Company”, or the same words in several other languages. First and last name in separate columns are joined.
- Only the first sheet is read?
- Yes. If the list is on another sheet, move it to the front or save that sheet on its own.
