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.

    It can be a real pain trying to manually convert VCF to CSV, so it’s awesome that you found a tool that preserves the formatting and works with all vCard versions.

    The best way to convert VCF contacts into CSV for Excel import is by using a reliable automated tool instead of manual methods. Because if you want safe contact migration, then the third-party utility performs better than doing it manually. The manual conversion often leads to missing fields or formatting errors in Excel. I suggest the WholeClear VCF to CSV Converter Software, which allows you to rapidly export single or multiple vCard files while keeping contact details properly aligned. The tool supports all vCard versions, offers a preview option, and ensures accurate results, making the Excel import smooth and error-free. Plus, it is fully offline, so all your contact data remains safe and accurate during or after the vCard to CSV conversion. A free demo version is also available for all users. Download and try it.
