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 Outlook Contacts to Mac
Apple's Contacts app often does not import an Outlook CSV correctly: fields land in the wrong place, or notes go missing. Importer for Contacts maps your Outlook export properly and brings every contact into Apple's Contacts app with the details intact. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.
How to import Outlook contacts into Apple's Contacts app
- In Outlook, export your contacts to a CSV file.
- Open Importer for Contacts on your Mac and add that CSV.
- Map the Outlook columns to the matching fields in Apple's Contacts app.
- Import, or save as a vCard first. Your contacts are then in Apple's Contacts app, ready to sync via iCloud.
Where the native importer gives up
Outlook CSVs often have dozens of columns and odd encodings that Apple's Contacts app mishandles. Importer for Contacts lets you pick exactly which columns matter and ignore the rest.
Preserves notes and labels
Notes, labels and multiple phone numbers survive the move instead of being discarded.
Works for big address books
Hundreds or thousands of Outlook contacts import in one pass, and your saved field mapping makes the next export just as quick.
