Most of the time, people need to export their contacts from Excel to VCF (vCard) format. This is especially true when they want to back up their contacts or share them fast. Most of the time, the most difficult part is determining whether to produce one huge VCF file with all of your contacts for backup or several smaller VCF files, each with one contact, so that you can share them more easily.

 
Excel stores contacts in rows and columns, but VCF files need to be set up in a precise way to keep contact information correct. If you have hundreds or thousands of contacts in Excel, it can be hard and take a long time to convert them to VCF manually. Also, most easy ways only let you export one contact at a time, which makes it challenging to move a lot of them at once.


An effective converter tool can usually directly import Excel files and convert all of the rows to VCF format at once maintaining all of the crucial information like names, phone numbers, emails, and addresses. You can also choose the output format, which makes sure it works with phones, email clients, and contact management.

In short, yes, you can save Excel contacts to one or more VCF files. But using a certain Excel to VCF conversion tool like Softaken Excel to vCard Converter makes the whole thing quick and simple to use. This way, you can effortlessly back up or share your contacts without losing any important information.
