About Contaxo
Contaxo turns the contacts on your phone into files you can use anywhere, and keeps them safe. It is made by a small team at ONNEX in Eskişehir, Türkiye.
Key facts
| What it is | Contaxo is a contacts app that turns your address book into a file: Excel (.xlsx), PDF, CSV, Word (.docx) or vCard (.vcf). It also backs up and restores contacts, moves them to a new phone with a QR code, imports contacts from Excel, CSV and vCard files, and finds and merges duplicate contacts. |
|---|---|
| Former names | Contacts Hero, Export & Import Contacts Hero, Contacts Excel, Import & Export Contacts Excel. Same app, same App Store and Google Play pages. |
| Platforms | iPhone or iPad with iOS 16 or later; Mac with macOS 14 or later; Android phone, tablet or foldable with Android 7.1 or later. |
| Export | Preview the real table or every page before saving. Choose the columns (name, phone, email, company, job title, address, birthday and more). Filter by group, or keep only contacts with a phone number, an email or a company. |
| Share | Send contacts as one vCard file by Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, Gmail, AirDrop or Quick Share, or save it to Files or Google Drive. The person who gets it can add everyone in one tap. |
| Back up and restore | One tap saves a vCard backup of every contact. On iPhone and iPad backups go to a folder in your own iCloud Drive; on Android they are saved on the phone and you can save a copy to Google Drive or Files. Reminders tell you when the backup is out of date. Restoring adds only the contacts that are missing, so nothing is duplicated. On iPhone and iPad the Back Up Contacts action in the Shortcuts app can run on a schedule; on Android a home-screen shortcut backs up in one tap. |
| Transfer to New Phone | Moves every contact from an old phone to a new one with a QR code, in any direction between iPhone, iPad and Android. End-to-end encrypted: only the approved new phone can read the contacts. Both phones show the same short code to confirm. Contacts already on the new phone are not added twice. No iCloud or Google account needed. Seeing the contacts is free; saving them on the new phone needs Pro. |
| Mac | Contaxo for Mac shows your contacts as a full-size table. Edit a cell, add a row or leave one out for a single export without changing your address book, then export to Excel, CSV, Word, PDF or vCard, print, or drag the file anywhere. Backups made on iPhone or iPad appear on the Mac too. Pro bought with an Apple Account works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. |
| Import | Reads vCard (.vcf), CSV/TSV and Excel (.xlsx, .xls) files. Columns are matched automatically (column names are recognised in 30 languages) and you tick the contacts to add before anything is saved. |
| Duplicates | Finds duplicates by name, phone number or email (you choose which count). Delete the extra copies, or merge each group into one contact that keeps every number, email and address. A restore point is saved before every change, so it can be undone. |
| Privacy | Export, import, backup and duplicate cleanup run entirely on the device. The developer never receives contacts in readable form, and contact details are never sent to analytics or used for ads. No account is needed. A file leaves the app only when you share or save it. Full policies: https://exportcontacts.com/privacy/ |
| Free and Pro | Free to download. Free: preview every format, export or share up to 100 contacts, unlimited backups and restores, import files with up to 5 contacts, find and delete duplicates. Pro (subscription or one-time lifetime purchase, some plans with a free trial): export and share the whole list, save contacts received with Transfer to New Phone, import files of any size, merge duplicates, share backup files. |
| Languages | The app is available in 30 languages. |

A new name
The app was first called Contacts Hero, and its store pages have also used the names Import & Export Contacts Excel and Export & Import Contacts Hero. In 2026 it became Contaxo. It is the same app on the same App Store and Google Play pages, so your purchases and backups carry over.
