Microsoft Outlook requires a specific Windows-compliant CSV format for importing contacts reliably. Simply dragging a vCard into Outlook often results in only the first contact being imported. Our tool converts your entire VCF collection into a single, perfectly mapped Outlook CSV.
What is vCard to Outlook Conversion?
This converter takes standardized vCard data and transforms it into the specific CSV schema used by Microsoft Outlook. It maps standard fields like First Name, Last Name, Business Phone, and E-mail Address to the exact headers Outlook expects.
