Importing a raw CSV into Google Contacts often fails because of mismatched column headers. Our tool lets you map your existing spreadsheet columns (like "Cell Phone" or "Primary Email") directly to Google's required schema, ensuring every contact is imported with the correct details.
What is CSV to Google Conversion?
Google Contacts requires a specific set of header names in the first row of a CSV for it to recognize the data. This tool acts as an intelligent mapper that takes your source file and generates a new CSV with the exact headers and data types Google expects.

- Support for multi-value fields like multiple emails or phones
