Outlook contacts to Gmail — from a .pst to Google Contacts
Move Outlook contacts into Gmail: read them from a .pst, .ost or Outlook CSV and save the CSV Google Contacts imports, with phones and addresses in place.
About this conversion
Gmail imports contacts best from its own CSV layout, which is not the one Outlook exports. The page reads the contacts from the .pst directly (or from Outlook's CSV) and writes Google's layout: “Phone 1 – Label: Mobile”, “Address 1 – City”, labels from Outlook categories. Only as many columns as your contacts need, the way Google writes it itself.
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 XLSX, CSV, CSV for Outlook, VCF 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
- Where do I import it?
- contacts.google.com → Import → choose the file. The contacts appear in “My contacts” with an “Imported on …” label.
- My Outlook already exported a CSV.
- Drop that CSV instead of the .pst — it is recognised as Outlook's layout and converted the same way.
