CSV to VCF Converter Software for vCard Screenshot.
A CSV file is a table; a VCF file is a stack of contact cards that phones, mail clients and car head units read. SoftOrbits CSV to VCF Converter tool maps each column onto a vCard property and writes the cards. You choose the vCard version.

How to download and use the CSV to VCF Converter Software

Add your CSV files.
1

Add your CSV files

Download the CSV to VCF Converter tool and drag your files into the window. The list shows how many contacts were found and the character set detected for each file. A wrong guess is visible before conversion.

Map the columns, pick a vCard version.
2

Map the columns, pick a vCard version

Open the mapper to see which CSV column feeds each vCard property. Fix the auto-mapping, drop columns you do not need, and choose vCard 2.1 for an older handset or 3.0 and 4.0 for current phones.

Convert and import.

Convert and import

Pick one combined Contacts.vcf or a separate card per person, then press Convert. Import the result into Google Contacts, or copy the .VCF straight onto the phone.

Names that arrive readable.

Names that arrive readable

Wrong character-set guesses turn Chinese, Cyrillic and accented European spellings to mush. Detection starts at byte order mark, validates UTF-8, then weighs byte statistics for windows-1251, windows-1252 and GBK. Override the guess if it looks off. vCard 2.1 output also gets CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE, so an old handset shows the letter itself instead of =C3=BC.

Every number keeps its label

Round-tripping an address book through Outlook and the mobile can lose mobile and home numbers while leaving business lines behind. Naive mapping grabs the first phone heading and stops there. CSV to VCF Converter Software picks up the Google pair Phone 1 - Value next to Phone 1 - Type, as well as the Outlook headings Mobile Phone and Home Phone. Two or three numbers in one box are pulled apart too. A Google export can reach around 160 columns because of its paired Value and Type fields.

No duplicate pile-up after the import.

Switch on the duplicate filter and a repeated contact is dropped during conversion. An entry with no contact details never reaches the output.

Every vCard version

CSV to VCF Converter Software writes vCard 2.1, 3.0 or 4.0. Phone parameters print bare on 2.1 and quoted on 4.0. BDAY switches between YYYYMMDD and YYYY-MM-DD, and a portrait travels as raw base64 or a data URI. 4.0 records also carry UID and REV, and long properties fold at 75 octets the way RFC 6350 asks.

Reads real CSV, not the textbook kind

The parser follows RFC 4180. Quote marks around a field and line breaks inside a record come through intact, while two escaped quote characters are read as one. CRLF and LF endings both load. Delimiters are worked out by frequency across the first lines, including semicolon, tab and pipe files.

Whole folders in one run

Point the program at a directory and every table inside it loads, subfolders included. Finished files go to a destination folder you choose, or land beside the source.

Visual column mapper

A dialog puts each CSV column next to the vCard property it will fill. Reassign whatever auto-mapper got backwards. Exclude a column you do not want, or move it higher up. Unmapped columns can be kept as X- properties rather than thrown away, and a text preview renders the finished cards for whichever file you select.

One file or one card each

Send everything into a single Contacts.vcf for a bulk import, or produce a separate .VCF per person. A file name template builds the names from the contact, their email or a plain counter. Two people with the same name get a _2 suffix instead of overwriting each other.

Photos and addresses come across

Point the photo option at a column that holds a path to a picture, and that file is read and embedded as a base64 PHOTO. Street and city sit in their own columns, and so do the postal code and the country. Together they build a proper ADR instead of one flat string. A single name written surname first is split into N and FN.

Who needs CSV to VCF Converter Tool

Switching phones

If contacts arrived in pieces, merge CSV files into one table before converting. Convert the export once and import the .VCF on the phone. Going the other way, a VCF to CSV converter turns a folder of old cards into one table.

Office and IT admins

The staff directory lives in one spreadsheet, but colleagues want a card each for a mail signature or desk phone system. One run leaves a folder of separate .VCF files, one per person.

Migration and data cleanup

Lead lists leave a CRM with semicolon delimiters, mixed alphabets and inconsistent column names. Map them once, drop the repeats, and give the next system a vCard file it can read.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. CSV is a plain table with one row per contact and headings chosen by whatever program exported it. VCF holds vCard records with named properties such as FN for the display name and TEL for a number, which phones and mail clients read directly.

Add the CSV file, check the mapping, choose a vCard version and press Convert. Most lists need nothing set by hand before that.

Save the sheet as CSV in Excel first, then convert that file. On many European systems Excel writes a semicolon-separated file rather than a comma-separated one. The delimiter check catches it, so the file does not become a single-column mess. You can print a CSV table as a PDF instead.

You can. Most free browser converters upload the file, which sends the whole address book, including home numbers and birthdays, off the machine. Our CSV to VCF converter online works inside the browser tab without uploading and suits a single list. Desktop software processes whole folders and thousands of rows in one pass, and adds vCard 2.1 and encoding controls the online tool does not have.

Export the contacts folder from Outlook as CSV, then convert that file. Outlook writes Business Phone, Home Phone and Mobile Phone as separate headings, and all three reach the card with their own labels.

In Google Contacts use Import and pick the file. On iPhone and Android a .VCF opens straight from mail or storage. Outlook on Windows takes vCards one card at a time, so choose the separate-file mode when Outlook is the target. Google Contacts accepts 3000 contacts per import, so split a longer list or write one card per person.

The program runs on Windows, so conversion happens on the PC. Move the .VCF by mail or iCloud, and iOS takes it into Contacts.

Usually because the cards carry no UID that the phone can match, so a second import creates a second copy of everyone. Deduplicate before the export rather than after: the duplicate filter drops repeated rows at conversion time, and vCard 4.0 output carries UID and REV for the next round.

The source table was read in the wrong character set, or the card used quoted-printable and the receiving app never decoded it. Set the input encoding by hand on the Convert tab when the guess was off, and target vCard 3.0 or 4.0 when the device on the other end is a modern one.

The free trial converts 5 contacts per run and shows a reminder screen. The registered copy has the same behavior otherwise.
