How to export iPhone contacts to Excel

Export your contacts from iCloud or the Contacts app as a vCard (.vcf) file, then convert that file to CSV here and open it in Excel or Google Sheets. Nothing gets uploaded — the conversion happens in your browser.

Open the free converter

Step 1 — get a .vcf file off the iPhone

Apple doesn't offer a CSV export, but it does export vCards, which convert cleanly.

On a computer: sign in at iCloud.com, open Contacts, press Cmd/Ctrl+A to select everyone, then choose Export vCard from the settings menu.
On the phone: open Contacts, tap Lists, long-press a list and choose Export, or share individual contacts to Files.

Step 2 — convert the vCard to CSV

Drop the .vcf into the vCard to CSV converter and download the spreadsheet. Each contact becomes one row with columns for names, every phone number, every email, company, job title, address, website, birthday and notes.

Step 3 — open it in Excel or Google Sheets

In Google Sheets use File → Import → Upload. In Excel, use Data → From Text/CSV and choose UTF-8 encoding so accented and non-Latin names display correctly.

Putting the contacts back afterwards

Once you've cleaned the spreadsheet, convert it back to a vCard and open it on the iPhone to re-import. Delete the old versions first to avoid duplicates, or use the built-in merge before you download.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export iPhone contacts to Excel without a computer?

Yes. Export the vCard to Files on the phone, open this site in Safari, convert it, and the CSV lands in your Downloads.

Will all my phone numbers come through?

Yes. Contacts with several numbers keep them all, separated by semicolons in the cell.

Are my contacts private?

Completely. The converter runs in your browser — the vCard is never uploaded.

Why does Excel show strange characters in names?

Excel opened the file with the wrong encoding. Re-open it with Data → From Text/CSV and pick UTF-8.
