Yes, it is possible to export Outlook contacts to Excel from Outlook Web, but the process works a little differently compared to the desktop version and has some limitations.

Outlook Web allows you to export contacts directly by saving them as a CSV file, which can then be opened in Excel. This method is simple and suitable if you only need to back up or download contacts stored in your Outlook Web account. However, Outlook Web only exports basic contact details, and you may not always get full or custom fields in a structured way.

If your contacts are originally stored in an Outlook PST file or you need a more complete and accurate export, Outlook Web alone may not be sufficient. In such cases, using a dedicated PST-based approach, like MailConverterTools PST Converter, helps export Outlook contacts to Excel (CSV) while preserving all contact fields and avoiding data loss. This is especially useful when working with older data, large contact lists, or when Outlook Web export options feel limited.
