Now, access the new created folder and press the button Import, which you find at the top. In the on-screen pane, select the item CSV (comma separated values) and fai clic sul tasto Import.

Other programs to convert CSV files to vCard
In addition to the solutions I showed you in the previous chapters, you can use third-party software that allows you to convert a CSV file to a vCard: here are some of the best.
- CSV to vCard (Windows) - is a free tool, only for Windows, which allows you to convert a CSV file to a vCard without any limitations. After mapping your contact fields, you can export to a single vCard file or to multiple files.
- CSV to vCard Wizard (Windows) - it is a software very similar to the one I told you about in the previous paragraph but, in its free version, it only allows the export of the first 10 contacts. To remove this limitation, you will need to purchase the license for use starting at $ 19 / one-time.
- Importer for Contacts (macOS) - is a macOS application available for free on the Mac App Store. In its free version, you can only import up to 10 contacts. This limitation, however, can be removed through an in-app purchase at a cost of 9,99 euros / one-off.

Convert file CSV to vCard online
Since a CSV file contains sensitive data of the contacts hosted within it, such as telephone numbers, email addresses, etc., my advice is to use only offline tools (such as those I told you about in the previous chapters) and not tools online. In fact, you should know that it may not be safe to upload this kind of file to websites that you do not know or that have an unclear policy on how user data is processed.
That said, if you still want to do this and convert a CSV file to a vCard online, you can use the Javascript tool hosted on the phrogz.net website, which converts the code of a CSV into that of a vCard in real time.
Its operation is simple: you have to open the CSV file with any text editor, such as the Block notes in Windows o TextEdit macOS, and copy the contents of the file. Then paste the text you copied into the section text box Step 1 and map the data through the drop-down menus at the bottom, so as to obtain the resulting vCard code, further down.
At this point, all you have to do is copy the vCard code and paste it into any text editor. Then save the file, taking care to add the extension .vcf to his name, and that's it!
