VCF to Excel — open a contacts file as a spreadsheet
Convert a .vcf (vCard) contacts file to an Excel workbook: names, phones, emails, companies and addresses in readable columns.
About this conversion
Double-clicking a .vcf in Excel gives one long column of BEGIN:VCARD and TEL;TYPE=CELL lines. What people want instead is a list they can sort, filter and print: a row per person, the mobile in one column and the work phone in another. The page builds exactly that as a real .xlsx file, so dates and long numbers are not mangled the way a CSV opened in Excel sometimes is.
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
- Can I convert an Excel list back into a .vcf?
- Yes — open the workbook on the Excel to VCF page. It recognises columns called Name, Phone, Email and the like, in English and several other languages.
- The same person is in the file twice. Can that be fixed first?
- Tick “merge duplicates” before saving. Cards that share a phone number or an email are folded into one row, and nothing from either card is lost.
