Convert CSV contacts to vCard online
CSV files are useful for storing contact lists, but phones and contact apps usually need vCard files for smooth importing. A vCard file, also called a VCF file, stores contact details in a standard format that works across many devices and address book applications.
The CSV to vCard Converter on CSVall helps you turn spreadsheet contact data into import ready VCF files. You can convert names, phone numbers, emails, companies, job titles, addresses, websites, notes, and other contact fields from CSV into vCard format.
This tool is useful for business contact lists, customer records, leads, employee directories, event attendee lists, email contacts, phone backups, CRM exports, and personal address books.
What is a CSV to vCard converter?
A CSV to vCard converter changes contact data from a CSV file into a VCF file. CSV stands for comma separated values. It stores data in rows and columns. vCard is a standard contact format used to exchange information about people and organizations.
In most conversions, each CSV row becomes one contact. CSV columns such as First Name, Last Name, Phone, Email, Company, Job Title, Address, City, Country, and Website are mapped to vCard fields.
The final file can be imported into contact apps and devices that support VCF files.
Why use CSVall's CSV to vCard converter
Manual contact conversion can be frustrating. A CSV file may contain hundreds or thousands of contacts, and each app may expect contact fields in a different format.
CSVall helps prepare those rows as standard vCard contacts. It saves time, reduces manual entry, and gives you a downloadable VCF file that is easier to import into phones and contact managers.

END:VCARDCSV to vCard for iPhone
iPhone Contacts can import vCard files through iCloud Contacts, email attachments, AirDrop, or compatible contact apps. After converting CSV to VCF, import the file and review the contacts on your device.
Before importing, check names, phone numbers, country codes, and email addresses. This helps avoid duplicate or incomplete contacts.
CSV to vCard for Android
Android contact apps commonly support VCF import. You can save the VCF file to your device, open it with the Contacts app, or import it through Google Contacts.
CSV to vCard for Google Contacts
Google Contacts supports importing contact files, including CSV and vCard workflows. If you need a VCF file, convert your CSV contacts first, then upload the VCF file through the import option in Google Contacts.
Check duplicates after import because contact lists from CRMs, spreadsheets, and old phones often contain repeated names or emails.
CSV to vCard for Outlook
Outlook users often need VCF contacts when moving contact data between mail clients and address books. Convert your CSV to vCard and import the VCF file into Outlook or another contact manager.
CSV to vCard for CRM exports
CRMs often export leads and contacts as CSV files. A CSV to vCard converter helps turn those records into phone contacts for sales calls, event outreach, client follow ups, and field teams.
Recommended CSV columns include First Name, Last Name, Full Name, Email, Mobile Phone, Work Phone, Company, Job Title, Website, Street, City, State, Postal Code, Country, and Notes.
vCard 3.0 vs vCard 4.0
Many online CSV to VCF converters generate vCard 3.0 because it works well across many devices and contact managers.
vCard 4.0 is defined by RFC 6350 and supports modern contact data exchange.
Common vCard fields
A contact file can include many fields. The most common ones are full name, structured name, phone number, email address, organization, title, address, website, birthday, nickname, and note.
IANA maintains a registry of vCard elements, and vCard fields are standardized so different apps can understand contact data more consistently.
Best practices before converting CSV to vCard
Important notes about contact privacy
Contact files often contain personal information. Before uploading a CSV contact list, make sure you understand how the tool handles files and data.
CSVall processes the conversion locally in your browser. Avoid sharing VCF files publicly because they may contain names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, company data, and notes.
