Troubleshooting Common Issues

❌ File Won't Convert

Common causes and solutions:

• Invalid file format: Ensure file has .vcf extension and contains vCard data
• Corrupted file: Try opening in text editor to check if readable
• Large file size: Files over 50MB may cause browser performance issues
• Browser compatibility: Use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge with JavaScript enabled

⚠️ Missing Contact Data

If some fields are missing:

• Non-standard fields: Custom fields may not map to standard CSV columns
• Encoding issues: Special characters may not display correctly
• Multiple values: Multiple phone numbers/emails may be combined or truncated
• Empty fields: Blank contact fields will appear as empty CSV cells

🔧 Character Encoding Problems

For special characters and international names:

• Export as UTF-8: When creating VCF files, use UTF-8 encoding
• Excel compatibility: Some versions of Excel may not handle UTF-8 correctly
• Alternative: Google Sheets: Generally handles international characters better
• Re-export: Try exporting VCF from original source with UTF-8 encoding

✅ Best Practices

For optimal conversion results:

• Clean source data: Remove duplicate or incomplete contacts first
• Test with small files: Try a few contacts first to verify output format
• Backup originals: Always keep a copy of your original VCF file
• Check output: Review converted CSV file before using in other applications
