How to Avoid Data Loss While Converting Excel Contacts to VCF? - DAVIESWILSON031 - 12-26-2025
I am planning to convert a large Excel file containing important contact details (names, phone numbers, email IDs, addresses, etc.) into VCF (vCard) format so that I can import them into my mobile and email clients. I am worried about possible data loss during the conversion process, especially with fields like multiple phone numbers, special characters, and email addresses. Can anyone suggest reliable methods or best practices to avoid data loss while converting Excel contacts to VCF? I am looking for a safe and accurate solution.
