📖 How to Use VCF to CSV

  1. 1
    Upload your VCF file

    Drop a .vcf file containing one or multiple contacts. VCF files exported from iPhone, Android, Outlook, Google Contacts, and iCloud are supported. Multi-contact VCF files (containing multiple BEGIN:VCARD blocks) produce one CSV row per contact.

  2. 2
    Preview the parsed contacts

    A table preview shows all parsed contacts with their fields: Full Name, First Name, Last Name, Phone 1, Phone 2, Email 1, Email 2, Address, Organisation, Title, Birthday, and Notes. Check that contacts are correctly parsed before downloading.

  3. 3
    Download the CSV

    Click Download CSV to save a UTF-8 encoded CSV file with all contacts. This file can be imported directly into Excel, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, or any CRM system. The CSV uses standard comma delimiter with quoted fields for compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions — VCF to CSV

What is a VCF file?

VCF (Virtual Contact File) is the standard format for storing contact information, defined by the vCard specification (RFC 6350). VCF files have the .vcf or .vcard extension. They are exported by: iPhone (Settings > Contacts > Export All), Android (Contacts app > Export), Google Contacts (More > Export), Outlook (File > Open & Export > Import/Export), and iCloud (icloud.com > Contacts).

What fields are extracted from vCard files?

This tool extracts: FN (Full Name), N (Structured Name: Last;First;Middle;Prefix;Suffix), TEL (Phone numbers, up to 3, with type labels: CELL, HOME, WORK), EMAIL (Email addresses, up to 3), ADR (Postal address), ORG (Organisation), TITLE (Job title), BDAY (Birthday), NOTE (Notes/memo), and URL (Website). PHOTO fields are ignored as they contain binary data.

How are multiple phone numbers or emails handled?

vCard allows multiple instances of the same field type. For example, a contact can have three TEL entries: one CELL, one HOME, one WORK. This tool places up to 3 phone numbers in Phone 1, Phone 2, Phone 3 columns, and up to 3 emails in Email 1, Email 2, Email 3. The phone type (CELL, HOME, WORK) is included in the column header for clarity.

What vCard versions are supported?

vCard 2.1: older format used by some Nokia and legacy Android exports. Limited field support. vCard 3.0: used by iOS, macOS Contacts, and most modern exporters. Full field support. vCard 4.0: newer format with additional features (KIND, GENDER, LANG fields). Basic fields are fully supported. All versions use the same BEGIN:VCARD / END:VCARD block structure.

Can I import the CSV into Google Contacts?

Google Contacts accepts CSV import (Contacts > Import) but requires specific column names: Name, Given Name, Family Name, Phone 1 - Value, Phone 1 - Type, Email 1 - Value, Email 1 - Type. For direct Google Contacts import, use the VCF file directly — Google Contacts imports .vcf natively. Use the CSV output for Excel analysis, CRM import, or Mailchimp contact lists.

How do I export contacts from iPhone as VCF?

Individual contact: open the contact > scroll down > Share Contact > Save to Files (as .vcf). All contacts at once: go to iCloud.com on a computer > sign in > Contacts > Select All (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A) > Export vCard (gear icon). Google Contacts: contacts.google.com > More > Export > vCard (.vcf). Android: Contacts app > Settings > Export > choose storage location.
