Bulk-Import Contacts on Mac

Importer for Contacts imports hundreds or thousands of contacts from a single Excel or CSV file into Apple's Contacts app in one pass, with the fields mapped correctly and the groups assigned along the way. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.

How to bulk-import contacts

1. Open Importer for Contacts and add your Excel or CSV file, the whole list at once.
2. Map the columns to contact fields; optionally add a column of comma-separated group names.
3. Import. Every record lands in Apple's Contacts app and syncs via iCloud.
4. Save the field mappings as a setup, so the next import is done in no time.

Handles large data sets too

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.

Work faster with saved setups

If you import similar files regularly, a saved field mapping turns every new bulk import into a quick, reliable routine.
