For macOS
The premier Mac app to export your Address Book contacts to CSV, Excel and Outlook. Full privacy, no subscription.
Export iCloud Contacts to CSV or Excel
Your iCloud contacts sync to your Mac – and from there Exporter for Contacts 2 can export them to CSV or Excel. Back up your whole address book, pull selected groups, or keep a safe spreadsheet copy of data that Apple Contacts can otherwise lose. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.
How to export iCloud contacts
- Make sure your iCloud contacts are syncing to the Mac's Contacts app.
- Open Exporter for Contacts 2 and select your iCloud account, a group, or individual contacts.
- Choose the fields to export and pick CSV or Excel.
- Save the file as a backup or for import elsewhere.
A safety net for fragile contact data
A plain spreadsheet export is an easy insurance policy. If contacts ever go missing or a sync goes wrong, you have a clean, readable copy you can re-import or check by hand.
Export everything – or just one account
Mix and match: entire iCloud accounts, specific groups, single contacts and even external vCard files can go into one export. You decide which fields are included and in what order.
Completely offline
Unlike web-based iCloud exporters, conversion happens entirely on your Mac. No account login on a third-party site, no upload of your contacts.
