Skip the fiddly CSV import. Exporter for Contacts 2 writes your Mac contacts directly into an Excel file – so leading zeros stay intact, umlauts aren't mangled and dates are real dates, not strings. Open it in Excel, Numbers or FileMaker. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.
How to export Mac contacts to Excel
- Open Exporter for Contacts 2 and select accounts, groups or single contacts.
- Pick the fields you want with the Simple Field Chooser or the Custom Export Layout Editor.
- Choose Excel as the export format.
- Save the file and open it directly in Excel, Numbers or FileMaker.
No more CSV import headaches
Excel files don't suffer the typical CSV problems: text encodings, mangled fields and date formats are all handled for you. There's nothing to interpret or convert after the export.
Exactly the columns you need
Decide which fields to export and in what order. Multiple phone numbers or e-mail addresses can be split by label or combined into one cell, and special fields like full name or a separate street and house number are available too.
Opens in Numbers and FileMaker too
An Excel file isn't just for Excel – Numbers and FileMaker open it out of the box, so the same export works whatever spreadsheet app you prefer.
