Turn a contact list in CSV or Excel into one .vcf file that imports into iPhone, Android and Google Contacts. Columns are matched for you, and you can change any match.
Works in your browser. What you paste or upload is processed on your device.
Pick a CSV or Excel file with one contact per row.
Review the fields matched to your columns and change any that are wrong.
Look at the first contact cards to confirm names and numbers are in the right place.
Press Create .vcf and download the file.
On iPhone, open the file from Mail, Messages or Files and tap Add All Contacts. On Android or Google, use Import.
iPhones can't import a CSV contact list, and Android and Google prefer vCard too. This converter turns a spreadsheet of contacts, a CSV, a TSV or the first sheet of an Excel file, into a single .vcf file with one card per row, in vCard 3.0, the version iPhone Contacts, Android and Google Contacts all import.
It matches your columns to contact fields automatically by reading the header row (Name, First Name, Mobile, Phone, Email, Company, City, Birthday and common variants, including Google and Outlook export headings). Each match is shown in a mapping panel where you can change it or mark a column as not used. Separate columns for mobile, work, home and other phones are kept with their types, several values in one cell separated by ::: (as in Google exports) become several numbers, and rows with no name, phone or email are skipped. If your list has no header row, the tool spots email and phone columns from the values.
Limits: one address per contact is supported, and birthdays are written only when they are in year-month-day form (other formats go into Notes, because 03/04 means different days in different countries). Contact photos and groups can't come from a CSV. The output is one .vcf file; very large lists (tens of thousands of contacts) import more reliably through Google Contacts than straight onto an iPhone.
Typing contacts into a phone one by one, or paying for an app to do the import, is slow. A correct vCard file adds the whole list in one tap, with mobile and work numbers in the right fields, and building it in your browser means your customers' or colleagues' details aren't handed to a third-party server.

Send the file to the iPhone by AirDrop or email, or save it to Files. Tap it in Mail or Messages (in Files, tap Share › Contacts if you only see a preview), then tap Add All Contacts. From a computer, you can also import it at icloud.com › Contacts › + › Import Contact and it syncs to the phone.
Open the Contacts app, go to Fix & manage › Import from file and choose the .vcf. On Samsung phones it is Contacts › menu › Manage contacts › Import contacts. Or import it at contacts.google.com and it syncs to every phone on that account.
Yes. The tool recognises many common headings, and you can set any field to any column in the mapping panel. Pick Not used for columns you don't want, such as an internal ID.
Yes. Choose the .xlsx or .xls file and the first sheet with data is used. Phone numbers stored as numbers keep all their digits.
No. The file is read and the vCard is written in your browser. Our server only counts the run, so the names and numbers stay on your device.
Rows with no name, company, phone number or email are skipped, because they would import as empty contacts. The count of skipped rows is shown above the preview.
vCard 3.0 in UTF-8, so names in any language import correctly. It is the version iPhone, Android and Google Contacts all import. Outlook for Windows reads only the first contact of a file that holds several, so for Outlook import the file into Google Contacts first or use a CSV.
