CardmendOpen the converter

Move contacts between iPhone, Android, Google and Outlook

Every service exports contacts a little differently. Cardmend reads all of them and writes the format your new phone or account expects.

From iPhone or iCloud

Export a vCard from iCloud Contacts or share contacts from the Contacts app. Custom labels such as “Lab line” are kept.

To Google or Outlook

Google Contacts imports the Google CSV or vCard; Outlook imports its own CSV format. Cardmend writes both with the column names those services use.

Combine several sources

Open the old phone export, the Google export and the Outlook export together. Duplicates across them are found, and you get one clean file.

How it works

  1. Export your contacts as a vCard (.vcf) or CSV file from your phone, Google Contacts, iCloud or Outlook.
  2. Open the file in Cardmend. It is read on your device and is not uploaded.
  3. Fix phone numbers, review and merge duplicates, then download vCard, CSV or Excel.

What you get

Stays on your device

There is no server behind the converter, and the page's security policy blocks every network connection. You can turn off Wi-Fi after it opens.

Reads messy vCards

vCard 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0, quoted-printable text, folded lines, old character sets, photos, several phones and e-mails per person, iPhone custom labels.

Duplicates you can review

Groups are found by phone, e-mail and similar names. You see each group and choose which ones to merge and which name to keep.

Phone numbers in E.164

Numbers are checked with Google's phone number metadata and can be exported as +972521234567, in international or in national format.

Google, Outlook and Excel

Exports Google Contacts CSV, Outlook CSV, a clean CSV with one column per number, and Excel. Imports the same, plus any CSV with column matching.

Hebrew, Arabic and accents

Right-to-left names, niqqud and tashkeel, windows-1255/1256 files and UTF-8 come out readable, not as question marks.

Good to know

  • Cardmend works with files. It does not sign in to Google, iCloud or Outlook: you export and import the file there yourself.
  • Duplicate groups are suggestions. Similar names can belong to different people, so check each group before merging, and keep your original export.
  • Photos are kept in vCard exports. CSV and Excel only mark whether a contact has a photo. Old .xls files and iCloud contact groups are not supported.

Questions

Does Cardmend sign in to my accounts?

No. It never connects to Google, Apple or Microsoft. You export and import the files yourself, which keeps your passwords out of it.

What about groups and labels?

Google labels and vCard categories are kept. iCloud contact groups are not converted.

Are my contacts uploaded?

No. Cardmend runs in your browser. The converter page is not allowed to send data anywhere, and it keeps working offline.

What does it cost?

Opening files, checking duplicates and fixing numbers is free for all your contacts, and you can export up to 50 contacts. A lifetime key costs $9, paid once.

Which files can I open?

vCard (.vcf) from iPhone, iCloud, Android, Google, Outlook and older phones; Google and Outlook CSV; and any CSV or Excel .xlsx file, where you match the columns.
