Import contacts from Excel and CSV into Apple Contacts on your Mac. Full privacy, no subscription.
Bulk-Import Contacts on Mac
Got a big list to load? Importer for Contacts imports hundreds or thousands of contacts from a single Excel or CSV file into Apple Contacts in one pass – with the fields mapped correctly and groups assigned along the way. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.
How to bulk-import contacts
- Open Importer for Contacts and add your Excel or CSV file – the whole list at once.
- Map the columns to contact fields; optionally add a column of comma-separated group names.
- Import – every record lands in Apple Contacts and syncs via iCloud.
- Save the mapping as a setup so the next batch is a few clicks.
Scales to large lists
Thousands of records import in one go, so consolidating a CRM export, a member database or years of accumulated contacts is a single operation rather than a manual slog.
Group as you import
Add one column of comma-separated list names and each contact is filed into the right groups during the import – missing groups are created automatically.
Repeatable with saved setups
If you import similar files on a schedule, your saved field mapping turns each new bulk import into a quick, reliable routine.
What users say
“I tried it. It worked. And then I purchased it. When you try to do it with Apple programmes you will loose masses of time and still not get it.”
“This saved us hours. Very grateful to the developers to create a product that does what it promises - and in a way that is easy enough for anyone to use.”
“Many thanks - works a treat. This app needs to be promoted. Easy to use, just upload an .xl file could not be simpler.”
