Convert VCF to Excel or CSV Free – Contacts to a Spreadsheet
Need your contacts in a spreadsheet — to clean up a list, send a mailing, or move them to another system? Open the .vcf file below and click Download Excel (.xlsx) or CSV. It all happens in your browser.
How the spreadsheet is laid out
| Column | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Name, First name, Last name | As saved in the contact |
| Phone 1, Phone 1 type, Phone 2… | One pair of columns per number, as many as the contact with the most numbers needs |
| Email 1, Email 1 type… | Same for email addresses |
| Company, Job title, Address, Birthday, Website, Notes | The rest of the card |
- The header row is bold, frozen and has filters switched on, so you can sort straight away.
- Duplicates are merged before export (tick or untick Merge to choose).
- CSV opens correctly in Excel with accents and non-Latin names, because it is saved as UTF-8 with the marker Excel looks for.
- Cells that start with
=,+or@(other than phone numbers) are protected with a leading apostrophe so a spreadsheet can't treat them as formulas.
CSV for Google Contacts
CSV for Google Contacts uses the column names Google expects (First Name, Phone 1 - Value, E-mail 1 - Value…). Edit it in a spreadsheet if you like, then import at contacts.google.com › Import. If you don't need to edit anything, Google also imports the .vcf file directly.
Excel can't open .vcf by itself
Opening a .vcf in Excel shows raw lines like TEL;TYPE=CELL:… in one column. Converting it first gives you one tidy row per contact.
