Choose the right output

When Excel to vCard helps

  • You keep contacts in an Excel workbook and need a .vcf file for an address book.
  • You are moving spreadsheet rows into Google Contacts, Outlook, Apple Contacts, or a phone.
  • You can map name, phone, and email columns (and optional N, ADR, ORG, NOTE).
  • You will convert again after editing the worksheet or mappings.

When another tool fits better

  • Your source is CSV—use CSV to vCard instead.
  • You need to review vCards back in a spreadsheet—use vCard to Excel.
  • You need calendar events—use Excel to ICS.
  • You expect live directory sync; this export is a one-time .vcf snapshot.

Excel to vCard guides and FAQs

One overview and one step-by-step guide below, plus FAQs that match the workbook uploader and mapping table on this page.

Input format notes

Prepare your Excel contact sheet

Use one contact per row and clear column headers. Keep full name, phone, email, and optional notes in separate columns.

Phone numbers as Text: Format phone columns as Text in Excel before you save leading zeros (for example 00123456789 or 03001234567). If Excel already stored the value as a number and dropped zeros, this converter cannot recover them.

For structured names, put family and given parts in an N column as Family;Given;;; (semicolons separate name parts). Or map a full-name column to FN and let the tool derive N.

Use .xlsx files through the workbook uploader. For CSV input, use CSV to vCard.

Output format notes

Mapping, multiple phones, and blank names

Under vCard mapping options, map spreadsheet columns to FN, N, TEL, EMAIL, ADR, and other fields. Check Include for the fields you want.

Extra mapping rows (duplicate TEL/EMAIL/ADR lines) add more phone or email fields on the same contact—they are not extra spreadsheet rows or extra people.

If a row has no usable name, the export still creates a card and uses the placeholder name Contact. Add real names in Excel when you can so address books stay readable.

Import the downloaded .vcf into your address book. Re-importing can create duplicates depending on the app.

Questions before converting

One question per row — expand only what you need.

Upload an .xlsx workbook, choose the worksheet with one contact per row, map columns to vCard fields, select Convert, then download the .vcf file for your address book.

No. This page uses the workbook uploader (and a sample-files link when you need a template). Use Clear to reset the workbook, mappings, and result—there is no paste-Excel path, Example button, or Delete icon on this converter.

Store phone columns as Text in Excel before saving. Values already saved as numbers with zeros removed cannot be restored by this converter.

Use Family;Given;Additional;Prefix;Suffix with semicolons as separators—for example García;José;;;. Those semicolons stay structural in the vCard so contact apps can split first and last names.

Additional TEL, EMAIL, or ADR mapping rows add more phone or email fields on the same contact. They do not create extra people or extra spreadsheet rows.

The row still exports. The card uses the placeholder name Contact when no usable name is mapped. Add real names in Excel when you can.

Most address books that accept .vcf files—including Google Contacts, Outlook, and Apple Contacts. Import features vary by app; test with a small file first.
