For macOS
Import contacts from Excel and CSV into Apple's Contacts app on your Mac, or convert them to vCards. Full privacy, no subscription.
Import Contacts to iPhone from a Spreadsheet
An iPhone cannot import an Excel or CSV file of contact data directly, but your Mac does it for you. Importer for Contacts transfers your CSV or Excel spreadsheet into Apple's Contacts app on the Mac, and iCloud syncs every contact straight to your iPhone. No subscription, everything stays on your devices.
How to get spreadsheet contacts onto your iPhone
- On your Mac, make sure Contacts is signed in to the same iCloud account as your iPhone.
- Open Importer for Contacts and add your Excel or CSV file.
- Map the columns to contact fields and import into Apple's Contacts app.
- iCloud syncs the new contacts to your iPhone automatically, with no cable and no manual export.
Your Mac does the heavy lifting
Instead of wrestling with the iPhone's missing import feature, you import your data on your Mac. Because Apple's Contacts app syncs through iCloud, the result lands on every device signed in to the same account.
Everything maps correctly
Names, multiple phone numbers, emails, addresses and custom labels are all transferred, so the contacts arrive complete on your iPhone instead of as a handful of fields.
One place for all your contacts
Import contacts from any spreadsheet, any CRM export or an old database, and bring them together in your iCloud contacts.

"I made the mistake of not making my iCloud account the 'default' place to store contacts so for years I was storing contact with other internet account. It was beginning to get frustrating and I wanted all my contacts in one place, preferably my iCloud account! This fixed me right up!!!"
