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 Excel into Mac Contacts
Apple's Contacts app can't open an Excel file. Importer for Contacts can: drop in your .xlsx spreadsheet, map the columns to contact fields and import everyone into your Contacts directly, with no converting to CSV first. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.
How to import an Excel file into Apple's Contacts app
- Open Importer for Contacts and drop in your Excel file (.xlsx).
- Map each column to the matching contact field: name, phone, email, address and more.
- Optionally import list and group names, so the imported contacts are assigned to them automatically.
- Import. Your contacts appear in Apple's Contacts app, ready to sync via iCloud.
No detour via the CSV format
You don't have to export your spreadsheet to CSV and wrestle with delimiters and encoding first. Importer for Contacts reads .xlsx files directly, including embedded pictures.
Field mappings are remembered automatically
Map the columns once; the app stores the mapping so the next spreadsheet with the same layout imports in a few clicks. That suits lists you update again and again.
No data loss
Custom labels, multiple phone numbers and addresses, and notes are all supported. Fields that Apple's Contacts app does not support natively can be assigned to the Note field, so nothing is lost.
