Why do some VCF to CSV tools miss phone numbers or email fields during export?
I noticed some converters skip contact fields completely, especially when the VCF was generated by iCloud or Android. Is this a compatibility issue? Which converter keeps every field — including custom labels — intact?

Yes, that usually happens because not all converters read every vCard version or field type correctly. Some online or basic tools skip over non-standard fields like custom labels or multiple numbers under one contact. To prevent that, use a converter that supports VCF 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0 formats and keeps every contact detail intact. Softaken VCF to CSV Converter does this perfectly. It exports VCF contacts to CSV without losing data, preserving phone numbers, emails, addresses, and custom tags. It also works smoothly with contacts from Android, iCloud, Outlook, and Skype while maintaining full data accuracy. You can also preview VCF contacts before conversion to ensure nothing gets missed.
