Free online VCARD to XLS converter

Source format: vCard

vCard is a standard file format for storing contact information such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, company details, addresses, and notes. It is widely used by email clients, smartphones, address books, CRM tools, and contact managers. Common file extensions include .vcf and sometimes .vcard. A vCard file may contain one contact or many contacts in a single file.

Target format: XLS

XLS is the classic Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format used for tabular data. It is supported by Microsoft Excel and many other spreadsheet applications. The main advantage of XLS is that it organizes contact data into rows and columns, making it easier to sort, filter, edit, and import into other business tools. It is commonly used for contact lists, mailing lists, reporting, and data exchange.

How to convert vCard to XLS

The most practical way to convert vCard to XLS is to extract the contact fields into a spreadsheet and then save the result as an Excel workbook. If you only need a quick conversion, you can use the built-in converter on 101convert.com for free, without installing any software.

1. Open the vCard file in a contact manager or conversion tool that can read .vcf files.
2. Export or save the contacts as CSV or directly as a spreadsheet if the software supports it.
3. Open the exported data in Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or another spreadsheet app.
4. Check that each contact field is placed in the correct column, such as name, phone, email, and address.
5. Use File → Save As or File → Export and choose .xls as the output format.

If your vCard contains multiple contacts, make sure the converter preserves one contact per row. For single-contact files, you may need to manually arrange the fields into a table before saving as XLS.

Notes on quality and limitations

vCard to XLS conversion is not always one-to-one. vCard supports many optional fields, custom labels, multiple phone numbers, and embedded photos, while XLS is best for structured tabular data. As a result, some information may be flattened, renamed, or omitted during conversion.

For best results, use a tool that correctly maps common fields such as full name, organization, job title, phone, email, postal address, and notes. Special characters and non-Latin text should be preserved if the file is handled in UTF-8 or another compatible encoding. If the source contains contact photos or complex metadata, those elements usually do not transfer well into XLS.

Also note that XLS is an older Excel format. If compatibility is not a strict requirement, XLSX is often a better modern target because it supports larger datasets and is less limited than XLS. However, if you specifically need XLS for legacy systems, the conversion is still straightforward after the contact data has been tabulated.
