Frequently asked questions

What is VCF to CSV?

Turn a vCard address book into a spreadsheet-ready CSV, one contact per row.

When would I actually use this?

Moving an address book between a phone, a mail client and a spreadsheet, merging exports from two devices that each hold half the contacts, and reading a .vcf someone sent without importing it first.

What is the most common mistake?

Splitting a structured field on its separator without honouring the escape. A vCard writes a name and an address as parts joined by semicolons — but a semicolon inside a value is escaped, so a company written "Dupont & Sons\; Ltd" is one part and naive splitting tears it in two. Long values fold onto continuation lines for the same reason.

How is VCF to CSV different from CSV to VCF?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions. CSV to VCF: build a vCard file your phone can import from a spreadsheet of contacts. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Merge VCF files is the closest one after this: Combine several vCard files into a single address book you can import once.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

VCF to JSON and VCF viewer — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

vCard files are read against the published specification, with line folding undone and escapes honoured before anything is split. The tools do not reconcile duplicates by guessing: merging keeps what both files agree on and shows you the rest rather than silently choosing.

Knowing which you have explains most import surprises.ComparisonTwo Emails in One Cell, or Two Strings in an ArrayA contact can have several phone numbers and several addresses. The CSV joins them with a middle dot into one cell; the JSON keeps them as a list, which is the difference between a script that works and one that splits on a guess.How-toYou Do Not Have to Rename Your Columns to EnglishThe header row is matched in six languages, so prénom, apellidos, Vorname and cognome are all understood.
