Switching from Google to Outlook can be frustrating because both services use different CSV column headers. Exporting from Google and trying to import directly into Outlook often results in missing fields or "Address Book" errors. Our tool bridges this gap by remapping the headers instantly.
What is Google to Outlook Migration?
This tool is a dedicated re-mapper that takes the specific "Google CSV" export and translates it into the "Outlook CSV" format. It ensures that fields like "Phone 1 Type" and "Given Name" are matched to "Mobile Phone" and "First Name".
