Before You Start

• Download and install the free demo. It converts the first 10 contacts so you can check the result.
• Export your contacts to a CSV file with a header row, so each column has a name the converter can map.
• Decide whether you want one VCF file for all contacts or one file per contact.

1 Step 1

Add your CSV files

Start CSV to VCF Converter. On the Add File(s) tab, click Add File(s) to pick one or more CSV files, or Add Folder(s) to load every CSV in a folder. Use Remove or Remove All to change the list, then click Next.

2 Step 2

Map the columns

The Export Settings tab lists every column header from your CSV. Click Auto-Detect Mapping to match them to vCard fields, or choose the vCard property for each column from its drop-down list.

3 Step 3

Choose VCF or PDF

Under Select Export Type, choose vCard (.vcf) or PDF. For vCard, set the version (2.1, 3.0 or 4.0) and choose Single file for one VCF with every contact, or Individual files for one VCF per contact.

4 Step 4

Set the destination and file name

Click Change to choose the destination folder and type a name in Output File Name. Use a drive with enough free space.

5 Step 5

Export the contacts

Click Export. The status bar reports how many contacts were exported, and a prompt offers to open the output folder.
