Best way to bulk convert Excel contacts for Gmail import?

In​‍​‌‍​‍‌ order to bulk import contacts into Gmail, I used a dedicated Excel to VCF converter and found that mapping was crucial. Before conversion, I suggest removing any unnecessary characters, organizing phone formats, and using consistent column names. Softaken Excel to vCard Converter offered a Batch Excel to vCard Conversion feature which I used to quickly convert the files and avoid any fields being left out. Once the files were created, I checked a few vCard files to see if they were compatible with Gmail. This tool preview displayed how the records would look, thus it helped me resolve mapping issues very quickly. Basically, it functioned efficiently and facilitated the whole Gmail import process ​‍​‌‍​‍‌today.

  • If you ever want to try another reliable option, the RecoveryTools Excel to vCard Converter is also great for bulk importing contacts into Gmail. It offers accurate field mapping, batch conversion, and ensures every detail — names, emails, and phone numbers — transfers perfectly. Plus, it supports all vCard versions (2.1, 3.0, 4.0) for full Gmail compatibility.
