Convert CSV to vCard on Mac

You have contact data in a CSV spreadsheet and need it as a .vcf file? Importer for Contacts is a reliable CSV to vCard converter for the Mac. Load your CSV file, map the columns and save your data as a vCard. That vCard imports into Apple's Contacts app, iCloud, Outlook and any service that supports vCards. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.

How to convert CSV to vCard

  1. Open Importer for Contacts and add your CSV file.
  2. Confirm the character encoding in the interactive preview, then map each column to a contact field.
  3. Choose vCard (.vcf) as the output.
  4. Save the vCard. It imports into Apple's Contacts app, iCloud or any other contact app.

The vCard format is a universal standard

The resulting .vcf works with Apple's Contacts app, iCloud, Outlook, Google and most webmail services. You are not tied to one app.

Copes with difficult CSVs

Unusual delimiters, line breaks inside fields and tricky encodings are all handled properly. Importer for Contacts carries on where the import function of Apple's Contacts app gives up.

Supports custom labels and extra fields

The flexible structure of an Apple contact is fully supported in the vCard. Simple converters usually handle standard fields only.
