VCF to CSV Converter
Convert a .vcf vCard file to a clean CSV or Excel contact list — names, phones, emails, addresses — entirely in your browser. Your contacts never leave your machine.
Private by construction. Your file is opened with JavaScript inside this page. It is never transmitted, and the tool keeps working with the network unplugged.
A contact export is a strange file to be casual about: it isn't just your data, it's everyone you know — their numbers, their emails, their home addresses — in one portable blob. The web's usual VCF-to-CSV converters ask you to upload exactly that. This page doesn't: the vCard format is parsed by JavaScript in your tab, each card becomes a spreadsheet row, and the CSV or Excel file you download is assembled in browser memory. Load the page, unplug the network, convert — it works, because nothing was ever going to be sent.
The parser reads what phones and mail clients actually export: vCard 3.0 and 4.0, and the old 2.1 flavor with its quoted-printable encoding that trips most quick scripts. Multiple phones and emails per contact land in numbered columns rather than being silently dropped, and the preview table shows every row before you download.
Questions this tool gets asked
How do I convert a VCF file to CSV?
Drop the .vcf on this page. Every contact card is parsed in your browser - name, phones, emails, organization, address, birthday - shown in a table for review, and downloaded as CSV or Excel. The file is never uploaded.
Are my contacts uploaded to convert them?
No - never. A contact list is other people's personal data as much as yours, which is why this tool runs entirely as JavaScript in your tab. There is no upload endpoint on this site. Load the page, go offline, and it still converts.
Does it handle exports from iPhone, Android, and Outlook?
Yes - those all export vCard. The parser reads vCard 2.1 (including its quoted-printable encoding), 3.0, and 4.0, single-contact files and combined files with hundreds of cards alike.
Can I open the result in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes - the CSV opens directly in both, and the Excel button downloads a real .xlsx workbook. Multiple phones and emails per contact land in numbered columns so nothing is silently dropped.
Why is CSV useful for contacts?
CSV is the format address books, CRMs, and mail tools import - and the format you can actually read, dedupe, and clean in a spreadsheet. vCard is for syncing; CSV is for working with the data.
Google Contacts imports VCF directly - when do I need CSV instead?
When the destination isn't an address book: a CRM import template, a mail-merge sheet, an invite list, a backup you can actually read, or any cleanup job (deduping, fixing formats) that wants a spreadsheet. If you're only moving contacts phone-to-phone, use the VCF as-is; the moment you need to see or edit the data, convert here.
