How to Use Gmail CSV Contact Files Across Multiple Devices?

You must first convert the CSV file into a format that most devices allow typically VCF (vCard) if you exported your Gmail contacts into a CSV file and want to utilize them on other platforms. When trying to sync your Gmail contacts it can be annoying because many devices cannot directly read CSV files.

You can use an application like Softaken CSV to VCF Converter to make this process simpler. Without erasing any data it swiftly converts your Gmail CSV contact file to VCF format. Once converted the VCF file is simple to import into Outlook, iPhones and Android phones. I personally used it and it significantly simplified the process. Simply select the number of contacts per VCF file, load your CSV and export. When you are transferring contacts between platforms it truly helps.
