Contact List Converter

Converts between vCard, CSV and Google or Outlook contact exports, merging duplicate entries.

Contacts move between a phone, Google, Outlook and a spreadsheet in four different shapes, and the export you have is never the import the other side wants. This reads all of them, merges the duplicates that a two-way sync has left behind, and writes the one you need.

Drop a .vcf or a contacts .csv

Google, Outlook and iOS exports are all recognised. Nothing is uploaded.

Or paste it here

Embedded contact photos are not carried into CSV — there is nowhere to put them — and the count of what was dropped is reported rather than hidden.

How to use it

  1. Drop the export, or paste it

    A .vcf, or a CSV from Google or Outlook. The column names are matched against the spellings each of them uses.

  2. Choose the output

    CSV to edit in a spreadsheet; vCard to import into a phone or an address book. vCard 3.0 imports everywhere and is the safe choice.

  3. Leave merging on

    Contacts sharing an email address or a phone number become one, keeping every number and address from both. The count of what was merged is reported.

Common questions

vCard 3.0 or 4.0?

3.0 unless you have a reason. It imports into Outlook, Google Contacts and iOS without complaint; 4.0 is the current RFC and some older address books reject it outright.

Are contact photos kept?

Not into CSV — there is nowhere in a spreadsheet to put them. How many were dropped is reported rather than passed over in silence.

It did not recognise my CSV.

It needs a header row naming at least one column it knows — Name, Email, Phone and the Google and Outlook spellings of those. A file exported without headers has nothing to match on; add a header row and try again.
