XLS to VCF Converter FAQ
What is an XLS to VCF Converter?
An XLS to VCF Converter is a specialized tool that transforms contact data from Excel spreadsheets (XLS or XLSX format) into VCF (Virtual Contact File) format, also known as vCard. Our XLS to VCF Converter allows you to easily migrate contact information from spreadsheets to your phone, email client, or contact management system without manual retyping.
How do I prepare my Excel file for conversion to VCF?
For optimal XLS to VCF conversion, ensure your Excel file has clear column headers in the first row (such as "First Name," "Last Name," "Email," etc.). Each subsequent row should contain information for a single contact. At minimum, include a first name for each contact. While our XLS to VCF Converter will attempt to automatically map columns, using standard header names improves accuracy.
Why does the XLS to VCF Converter create a ZIP file instead of a single VCF file?
Our XLS to VCF Converter creates individual VCF files for each contact and packages them in a ZIP file because this approach offers several advantages. It preserves all contact details correctly, prevents issues with large files, and allows you to selectively import specific contacts. Most importantly, it ensures each contact retains its unique information without any field conflicts that might occur in a single combined VCF file.
What contact fields does the XLS to VCF Converter support?
Our XLS to VCF Converter supports all standard contact fields including first and last names, email addresses, phone numbers, company names, job titles, physical addresses, and notes. When mapping your Excel columns to contact fields, you can specify which columns correspond to each field type. The First Name field is required, while all other fields are optional.
How many contacts can I convert from XLS to VCF at once?
Our XLS to VCF Converter can handle Excel files containing thousands of contacts. However, very large files may take longer to process depending on your computer's performance and internet connection. For optimal performance, we recommend converting Excel files under 10MB in size. If you have a larger file, consider splitting it into multiple smaller files for faster processing.
Is my contact data safe when using this XLS to VCF Converter?
Yes, our XLS to VCF Converter processes all data locally in your browser. Your contact information and Excel files are never uploaded to or stored on our servers. After conversion, the generated VCF files are delivered directly to you as a downloadable ZIP file. This ensures complete privacy and security for your sensitive contact information.
How do I import the converted VCF files into my phone or email client?
After downloading the ZIP file from our XLS to VCF Converter, extract its contents to access the individual VCF files. For smartphones, you can typically email the VCF files to yourself and open them on your device, or connect your phone to your computer and copy them directly. Most email clients like Gmail and Outlook have an "Import Contacts" feature where you can select multiple VCF files at once. Refer to your specific device or application's documentation for detailed instructions.
