CSV to vCard (VCF) Converter
If you are importing sprawling Excel contact lists into an iCloud Address Book, an Android phone, or Microsoft Outlook, you must first format it into the strict vCard (VCF) protocol. Most online converters force you to upload your sensitive, personally identifiable contact information (PII) to an unknown foreign server. Our CSV to vCard generator parses your names, emails, and phone numbers natively within your browser's private engine. **Your data is absolutely never sent to a server.**
100% Private & Secure
This tool runs completely inside your browser using client-side WebAssembly and JS. Zero data is ever sent to our servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this actually secure? Will my contacts be stolen?
It is mathematically impossible for us to collect your contact list. This specific page is built entirely in isolated static JavaScript (React state). The parsing and transformation calculations occur physically entirely on your phone or laptop processor. We deliberately designed it this way to prevent GDPR violations.
Which vCard version does this use?
This outputs the vCard 3.0 specification. 3.0 is universally accepted. It solves compatibility issues often found with the newer legacy 2.1 syntax while still loading perfectly on both Google Android and Apple iOS.
Can I import this file directly into iCloud?
Yes! Simply press 'Download', open the iCloud Contacts Web Portal or the Native Mac Contacts App, click 'File', and 'Import vCard'. It will ingest the entire multi-contact file simultaneously.
Does it support multiple contacts in one file?
Absolutely. The vCard 3.0 specification inherently allows concatenating dozens or thousands of `BEGIN:VCARD` block rows right after one another in a single `.vcf` document.
