CSV to vCard: Import a Spreadsheet of Contacts to Any Phone

Spreadsheets are where contact lists live; phones are where they need to be. The bridge between them is vCard (.vcf) — and converting your CSV to vCard takes about a minute.

Step 1: Get Your Spreadsheet Into CSV

In Excel: File → Save As → "CSV (Comma delimited)". In Google Sheets: File → Download → Comma Separated Values. Keep a header row — it's how the converter knows which column is which.

Step 2: Check Your Headers

The CSV to VCF converter recognizes these columns (case and punctuation don't matter):

  • Names: First Name, Last Name, or a single Name / Full Name column
  • Email: Email or Email Address
  • Phone: Phone, Telephone, Mobile, or Cell
  • Work: Company / Organization, and Title
  • Extras: Birthday, Notes

Every row with at least a name becomes a contact; rows without one are skipped rather than creating blank entries.

Step 3: Convert and Import

Drop the CSV into the converter, download the .vcf file, and import it:

  • Google Contacts / Android: contacts.google.com → Import
  • iPhone: open the file from Files, AirDrop, or email → Add All Contacts
  • Outlook: People → Manage contacts → Import contacts

Why Not Use an Online Converter That Uploads?

A contact list is one of the most sensitive files you own — it's everyone else's personal data, not just yours. Most online converters upload your file to their server, where you have no idea how long it's kept. Konverter's tools run entirely in your browser: the file never leaves your device. That's not a marketing line; it's the architecture — there is no upload endpoint.
