How to convert VCF to CSV

  1. Add your VCF contacts

    Drop VCF (vCard) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. CSV is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the CSV, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The VCF to CSV converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your contacts are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

VCF to CSV: what to expect

Phones and address books export contacts as vCard, a format you cannot sort or edit in a spreadsheet. A CSV puts names, phone numbers, email addresses and companies into columns that Excel and Google Sheets open, which is the usual way to clean up a contact list or move it into a CRM.

vCard versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 are all read, including quoted-printable text and per-line character sets. Each contact becomes one row, with extra email addresses and phone numbers in numbered columns. Files up to 100 MB are accepted.

VCF vs CSV

VCF

vCard contacts

A VCF file holds one or more contact cards: name, phone numbers, email addresses, addresses and optionally a photo. It is the standard way to export and import contacts. Versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 exist and differ in details such as character encoding.

Opens in Contacts on iPhone, Android and Mac, Outlook, Gmail and most address books

CSV

CSV spreadsheet

CSV is a table written as text: one row per line, values separated by commas. Every spreadsheet and database can import and export it, but it holds one sheet only and no formatting, formulas or data types.

Questions

Are my contacts uploaded anywhere?

No. The VCF to CSV conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting VCF to CSV?

The values are kept. Anything CSV has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.

Can I convert several VCF files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert VCF to CSV on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the VCF file, press Convert and save the CSV. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. A file can be up to 100 MB; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
