iCloud: Export contacts - how it works

You can export your iCloud contacts as a vCard. This works in a few steps via the browser. We'll show you how to do it.

Export iCloud contacts

You can currently only export your iCloud contacts as individual vCards, whereby the vcf format can be read in with all common programs and devices. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the iCloud website in your browser and log in with your Apple ID.
2. Now click on the "Contacts" entry.
3. Select the contacts you want to export. To do this, hold down the [Ctrl] key and click on the individual contacts. Alternatively, you can use the key combination [Ctrl] + [A] to select all contacts.
4. Click on the Settings icon at the bottom left and select "Export vCard".
5. Finally save the files on your computer to finish the export.

On the next page we will show you how to edit your iCloud contacts afterwards.
