CSV to vCard Converter

What this tool does

Turn a spreadsheet or exported contact list into a single .vcf vCard file you can import into iPhone Contacts, Android Contacts, Google Contacts, Outlook, Apple Contacts, or many CRM tools.

Paste either:

First Name,Last Name,Email,Mobile Phone,Company
John,Doe,[email protected],555-1234,Acme

or a JSON array of contact objects. The converter maps common headers to vCard fields automatically:

• name parts (First Name, Last Name, Full Name) → N and FN
• email columns → EMAIL, with home/work type qualifiers when the header says so
• phone, mobile, cell, fax → TEL, with CELL, HOME, WORK, or FAX
• company, department, job title → ORG and TITLE
• street, city, state, zip, country → ADR
• website, birthday, note, gender → URL, BDAY, NOTE, GENDER (gender is vCard 4.0 only)

Everything runs locally in your browser. No contact data is uploaded.

Worked example

Input:

First Name,Last Name,Email,Mobile Phone,Company
John,Doe,[email protected],555-1234,Acme

Output:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Doe;John;;;
FN:John Doe
ORG:Acme
EMAIL:[email protected]
TEL;TYPE=CELL:555-1234
END:VCARD

Save the result as contacts.vcf, then import it in your contacts app.

Options

• Input format — auto treats input starting with { or [ as JSON and everything else as CSV. You can force csv or json.
• CSV delimiter — auto sniffs comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe from the header row. You can force one when the CSV is ambiguous.
• vCard version — 3.0 is the safest default for broad import compatibility. 4.0 emits vCard 4.0 syntax and includes GENDER when present.

Limits and edge cases

• The input must have recognizable headers such as Name, First Name, Email, Phone, Company, or address fields.
• Up to 5,000 contacts are converted in one run.
• Photos and binary attachments are not embedded. This is for text contact fields.
• Long vCard lines are folded at 75 octets for importer compatibility.
• Unknown columns are ignored rather than copied into custom properties.
• The converter escapes commas, semicolons, backslashes, and newlines in vCard values.
