For macOS
The premier Mac app to export your Address Book contacts to CSV, Excel and Outlook. Full privacy, no subscription.
Export Mac Contacts to CSV
Apple's Contacts app can only hand you vCards – Exporter for Contacts 2 turns your Mac Address Book into a proper CSV file instead. Choose the exact fields you want, export entire accounts or single groups, and open the result in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets or any CRM. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.
How to export Mac contacts to CSV
- Open Exporter for Contacts 2 and select the accounts, groups or individual contacts you want.
- Pick the fields to include with the Simple Field Chooser – or the Custom Export Layout Editor for full control.
- Choose CSV as the export format and adjust delimiter and encoding if needed.
- Save the file – ready to open in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets and more.
Choose exactly which fields land in your CSV
Export only the columns you actually need. Multi-value fields like several phone numbers or e-mail addresses can be split by label or combined into a single cell, and you decide the column order.
Built for hundreds and thousands of contacts
Whether you have 50 contacts or 15,000, the export runs in one pass. There's no per-contact fiddling and no row limit to worry about.
Your data never leaves your Mac
All conversion happens locally. Unlike online converters, Exporter for Contacts 2 collects no data, so your address book stays private.
