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.

    If you are looking for the best way to convert Excel Contacts files to Gmail in bulk, then I recommend trying the DataVare Excel to vCard Converter tool. Excel file does not support Gmail and VCF files support all platforms like Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail, Android, iPhone, Laptop, Computer, and more. So you have to convert first Excel to vCard files, then import the VCF file to Gmail. This tool is user-friendly which can convert one or more Excel files to VCF format in less time without erasing or changing any data. Furthermore, you can get the free demo version of the tool to checking its features.

    The best way to bulk convert Excel contacts for Gmail import is to first load your Excel file into the SysInfo Excel to vCard Converter. The tool scans the file, shows all the contact details, and lets you map each Excel column—like name, email, and phone number—to the correct vCard fields. Once everything is mapped, you select a vCard version supported by Gmail, usually vCard 3.0 or 4.0, and export all your contacts in one go. After conversion, you can easily upload the VCF file into Gmail’s contact section.
