There are a few reasons you might need to convert vCard to CSV.

• Many software doesn’t supports the VCF format. However, CSV can be opened in most spreadsheet software.
• CSV makes it easier to sort, filter, or edit contacts. It is especially useful for managing large contact lists.
• CSV is also compatible with more email and contact applications, making it easier for you to import contacts.

CSV (comma-separated values) is a text data format used to store tabular data. We can use it to store different kinds of information, such as contacts. In a CSV file containing contact information, each row represents a contact, and each column represents a specific field.

Some services or apps, such as Outlook, Google, or Shutterfly, may only accept (or better support) CSV files in a specific layout. Below are some details about Google CSV and Outlook CSV.

• Google CSV uses Unicode to preserve international characters while Outlook CSV doesn’t support these characters.
• Google CSV and Outlook CSV use different header names and orders. For example, Google CSV typically uses Name, Given Name, Family Name. Outlook CSV uses First Name, Middle Name, Last Name.
• Google CSV is better suited for Google Contacts. Outlook CSV is for Microsoft Outlook, Exchange, and Office 365.
