PST to VCF — Outlook contacts as a vCard for any phone
Extract the contacts from an Outlook .pst or .ost file into one .vcf that iPhone, Android, iCloud and Gmail can import.
About this conversion
Moving away from Outlook usually means moving to a phone or to Gmail, and both take contacts as vCard. The page reads the contacts out of the .pst — including the ones in subfolders — and writes a single vCard 3.0 file. Phones keep their kind (mobile, home, work, fax), addresses stay split into street, city and postcode, and categories become vCard categories.
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 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
- One file or one per contact?
- One file with everyone in it. That is what phones, iCloud and Gmail import in a single step.
- Can the same people from another source be merged in?
- Drop the .pst and the other .vcf or CSV files together, tick “merge duplicates”, then save. People found in both are folded into one card.
