Why standard exports break in Excel.

Most tools dump raw text that causes Excel to drop leading zeros, strip international plus codes, or misinterpret phone numbers as subtraction formulas. Folivio formats every cell with precision.

How to Export iPhone Contacts into Excel, CSV, or PDF in 3 Steps

STEP 1
Select Target Contacts

Choose your full address book, an existing iOS contact list (e.g. Clients, Friends), or manually select individual records.

Pick Columns & Presets

Select exact fields or apply one-tap presets (Business CRM, Minimalist, or Complete) to prevent empty columns in your spreadsheet.

STEP 3
Export & Share Immediately

Apple Privacy First

Your address book never leaves your iPhone. Period.

Your contacts contain private phone numbers, personal notes, home addresses, and confidential client details. We believe no utility app should ever require you to upload that data to an unknown cloud server.

Zero Servers

Folivio has no backend, no cloud database, and no API endpoints. Calculations run entirely on your Apple Silicon chip.

No Accounts

No signup, no passwords, no email verification, and no marketing newsletters. Launch the app and start exporting immediately.

No Analytics

Zero third-party SDKs, tracking pixels, or advertising trackers. Apple's "Data Not Collected" privacy badge in the App Store.

Answers & Details

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Folivio's spreadsheet formats, privacy, and safety.

Does Folivio upload my contacts to a cloud server or third party?
No. All contact processing, spreadsheet generation, and duplicate scans happen 100% on your device. Folivio has no custom backend servers, requires no user account, and includes zero behavioral tracking or advertising SDKs. Your address book never leaves your iPhone.
How does Folivio prevent Excel from breaking phone numbers and postal codes?
Standard export tools output numbers as unquoted numeric data, prompting Excel to auto-format them as mathematical integers (dropping leading zeros like '02138' to '2138') or formula calculations (+1 555 becomes an error). Folivio sets explicit text cell formatting in .xlsx files, ensuring phone numbers, country codes, and zip codes display exactly as saved in your phone.
Can I export only a specific group or selected contacts?
Yes. You can export your entire address book, filter by existing iOS contact groups/lists, or use instant search to check and select specific contacts. You can also reorder and select exactly which columns appear in your spreadsheet.
How does Folivio handle contacts with multiple phone numbers or emails?
Rather than combining multiple numbers into a single messy cell or duplicating the entire row, Folivio generates separate, numbered columns (e.g., 'Phone 1 (Mobile)', 'Phone 2 (Work)', 'Email 1 (Home)'). This keeps your spreadsheet clean, filterable, and ready to import into Google Sheets, Numbers, or CRMs.
What is the pricing model? Are there recurring subscriptions?
Folivio is built on transparent, fair pricing. You can test exports completely for free. When you are ready for unlimited exports, custom column presets, and duplicate cleanup, unlock lifetime access with a single, one-time in-app purchase. There are no weekly or monthly subscriptions.
Is duplicate merging safe? Can I undo changes?
Yes. Folivio performs a dry run where you inspect proposed merges side-by-side before anything is committed. Before applying any changes, an automated vCard backup of your modified contacts is created locally. You can revert any merge action with full undo support.
