Contact export

Move iPhone and iCloud Contacts into HOME.

A sample file in this layout, run through the converter on November 1, 2026. Every value below comes out of that run.

1Export from iPhone and iCloud Contacts

Sign in at icloud.com and open Contacts.
Select the contacts you want, or choose Select All Contacts.
Choose Actions, then Export vCard.

The file is a .vcf, which CRM Better reads directly.

Steps from Apple Support: Import, export and print contacts on iCloud.com, read November 1, 2026.

2What comes across

10 of 12 columns in the sample file reach a Home field.

A column counts as coming across when any contact in the sample file puts it in Home. Contacts that leave it empty do not change that.

In the iPhone and iCloud Contacts file	In Home
`N`	`First Name` `Last Name`
`FN`	`First Name` `Last Name`
`ORG`	`Company`
`EMAIL [home]`	`Personal Email`
`TEL [mobile]`	`Personal Phone`
`ADR [home]`	`Home Address Line 1` `Home City` `Home State` `Home Zip` `Home Country`
`BDAY`	`Birthdate`
`NOTE`	`Notes`
`EMAIL [work]`	`Work Email`
`TEL [work]`	`Work Phone`

This card also holds a photo. Nothing reads it (it is usually binary data), so it is not shown here, and the converter leaves it out of HOME_Import.csv.
