Can I convert multiple Excel files to CSV at once?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans:<\/strong> Yes, with the help of the Aryson Excel to vCard Converter tool, you can convert multiple Excel files to CSV at once.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1777550228755\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q2. Why are leading zeros disappearing from phone numbers after conversion?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans:<\/strong> Excel automatically treats phone numbers as integers and drops leading zeros. To prevent this, format the phone number column as Text in Excel before saving the file as CSV, or use the above automated software that handles this correctly.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1777550238859\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q3. Which CSV format should I use when importing contacts into Gmail or Outlook?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Both Gmail and Outlook recommend using CSV UTF-8 encoding for contact imports. This format correctly keeps the special characters, accented letters, and international phone formats intact.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1777550250411\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q4. Does converting Excel to CSV delete the original Excel file?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans:<\/strong> No, the Save As process creates a new CSV file without modifying or deleting your original .xlsx workbook. It is always recommended to keep the original file as a backup before importing.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1777550259940\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q5. Can I convert Excel contacts to CSV without Microsoft Excel installed?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Yes, the Aryson Excel to vCard Converter works independently &amp; does not require Microsoft Excel or Outlook to be installed on your system to convert Excel contacts for Outlook import as well.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;5939&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;How to Convert Excel Contacts to CSV File Format Easily&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IT professionals and Enterprises store their contact information in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
