Overview & guides
The CSV to vCard Converter helps you transform CSV into vCard effortlessly, designed for contact files.
Perfect for vCard compatibility, this tool ensures secure, fast, and precise results for cross-platform sync.
You can either paste your CSV data directly into the input field or upload a file. Select vCard as the desired output format, and the converted file will be ready in moments.
Your converted vCard file is ready to download. Simply save it to your device.
- Step 1: Enter Text or Upload File - Begin by providing your data in CSV format. You can either type it in manually or upload a CSV file containing the information you want to convert to VCF. Ensure that the CSV file adheres to the required structure for accurate conversion. Use Load Sample to try the built-in example.
- Step 2: Map columns to vCard fields - Open vCard mapping options. Each vCard property can be linked to a CSV column; use Include to control what is written. For EMAIL, TEL, and ADR, pick a type (e.g. Home, Work, Car) and use + / - for extra values. Types are inferred from column names such as Email Home or Phone Car when possible.
- Step 3: Click the 'Convert' Button - When mapping looks correct, click Convert to generate VCF.
- Step 4: Copy Result Data or Download File - Copy the resulting VCF text or click Download to save a
.vcffile. Use Clear to reset input and output.

1. How does the CSV to VCF conversion work on ConversionTab?
The CSV to VCF conversion feature on ConversionTab allows users to seamlessly transform CSV data into VCF (vCard) format, commonly used for contact information storage. Users have two input options: 'Text' and 'File.'
2. What are the input options for CSV data?
ConversionTab offers users two convenient ways to input their CSV data:
- Text Tab: Users can manually enter CSV data as a valid string in this tab.
- File Tab: Users can upload their CSV file through the 'Drop/Browse File' feature, making it easy to work with existing data.
Furthermore, users have the option to specify custom settings such as the number of lines to skip and the field separator, allowing for precise data parsing.
3. What happens after entering CSV data?
Upon entering CSV data, users are directed to the 'Output Options' section, where the crucial process of mapping CSV columns to vCard fields takes place. Accurate mapping is essential for ensuring that the resulting vCard file contains the desired contact information.
4. What are the special requirements for mapping Email, Phone, and Address?
Mapping Email, Phone, and Address columns involves specific requirements to achieve correct conversions:
- Email: Users must select both the column type (e.g., Email Home) and the corresponding vCard field (e.g., Email). This ensures that the email address is correctly categorized.
- Phone: Similar to Email, Phone mapping requires users to specify both the column type (e.g., Phone Home) and the desired vCard field (e.g., Tel).
- Address: Address mapping involves assigning the column type (e.g., Address Home) to the appropriate vCard field (e.g., ADR).
These specific mappings ensure that contact details are accurately represented in the vCard format.
5. What is the 'Include' column?
The 'Include' column is a crucial part of the conversion process. It provides a checkbox for each vCard field. Users can check or uncheck these checkboxes to control whether specific vCard fields are included or excluded in the resulting vCard file. This gives users full control over which information is included based on their preferences.
6. What are the auto-mapped columns and their formats?
ConversionTab provides the convenience of auto-mapped columns and their corresponding formats:
| # | VCF Field | Mapping | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | UID | UID | Unique Identifier |
| 1 | TITLE | Title | Title of Contact |
| 2 | FN | Full Name | Full Name of Contact |
| 3 | TEL | Phone Voice | Voice Phone Number |
| 4 | N | N | Name Components |
| 5 | Email Work | Email Address (Work) | |
| 6 | CATEGORIES | CATEGORIES | Contact Categories |
| 7 | ADR | Address Home | Home Address |
| 8 | URL | URL | Website URL |
| 9 | NOTE | NOTE | Additional Notes |
| 10 | ORG | Organization | Organization Name |
| 11 | BDAY | Birthday | Date of Birth (YYYYMMDD) |
| 12 | GENDER | GENDER | Gender Information |
| 13 | ROLE | ROLE | Contact's Role |
| 14 | IMPP | IMPP | Instant Messaging Protocol |
| 15 | GEO | GEO | Geographical Coordinates |
This auto-mapping simplifies the conversion process by recognizing and configuring common columns automatically.
7. How can I handle multi-valued fields like multiple email addresses?
For multi-valued fields, such as multiple email addresses, ConversionTab provides two methods:
- Combine in a Single Column: Users can include multiple values in a single column, separating them using a specified separator (e.g., Email 1, Email 2, Email 3).
- Add Rows: Alternatively, users can click the '+' button to add additional rows for each value. The '-' button allows users to remove incorrect mappings or unwanted rows.
This flexibility ensures that multi-valued fields are handled efficiently.
8. How do I get the VCF output?
Once the mapping and settings are complete, users can initiate the conversion process by clicking the 'Convert' button. The resulting VCF data is displayed in a textarea, providing users with two options:
- Copy: Users can copy the generated VCF data for use elsewhere.
- Download: Users can download the VCF file, with the option to specify a custom file name if desired.
This flexibility ensures that users can choose the most suitable method for accessing their converted data.
9. Is there an example CSV and a way to reset the input/output data?
ConversionTab provides additional features to enhance the user experience:
- Sample CSV: Click Load Sample to fill the editor with example rows (two contacts) so you can see how headers map to vCard fields.
- Reset: Use Clear to wipe input and output before a new conversion.
