I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ wanted to import my phone contacts into Excel, and I found it quite difficult to convert VCF to CSV manually. After trying out a few options, GainTools vCard to CSV Converter was the one that worked perfectly. It preserved the formatting of contact fields throughout and did not mix names or numbers. Its accuracy and simple layout were what I enjoyed most. It is compatible with all vCard versions 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0 which made it compatible with all of my files. The product was great for both small and large contact lists. I used the free demo first, and it got me with its neat and accurate ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌output.

    That’s a great pick! I’ve also worked with several tools for converting VCF files, and if you’re ever looking for an alternative, you might want to try the BitRecover vCard Converter.

    It’s super reliable for exporting vCard contacts to multiple formats like CSV, PST, PDF, Excel, and more, while keeping every detail — names, phone numbers, email addresses, and even images — perfectly organized. What I really like is how it maintains folder hierarchy and supports all vCard versions (2.1, 3.0, 4.0), just like you mentioned. The tool also comes with a free demo edition, so you can test the conversion quality before buying.

    If you need to convert VCF contacts into CSV for Excel, the manual way works only for a few contacts. I tried the manual route first, and copying contact details into Excel one by one became slow and some fields needed correction. What worked for me was Softaken VCF to CSV Converter, a trusted offline tool I used to export multiple vCard files into a CSV that opened properly in Excel. If your contact list is large, try its free demo first and check whether the CSV format meets your import needs.
