Contacts are among the most valuable pieces of data stored on your OnePlus phone. Whether you're switching devices, creating a backup, or managing large amounts of contact information for business, exporting contacts to Excel makes the process much easier. An Excel file allows you to organize, edit, and share contact details without needing to rely only on your phone.
If you're wondering how to export OnePlus contacts to Excel, this article walks you through three practical solutions: using a professional tool, Google Contacts, a VCF file, or a third-party app. Each method has its advantages, and you can choose the one that fits your situation best.
If you're not sure whether your OnePlus phone has a built-in feature to export contacts to Excel, or if you want a quick way to export all your contacts at once, then Coolmuster Android Assistant is your best choice. This professional Android management tool makes it simple to transfer contacts and other data between your phone and computer. Beyond contact export, it also lets you manage your Android data directly from your computer, including sending/receiving/forwarding/deleting text messages, uninstalling or installing apps, and more.

If you prefer a cloud-based solution, you can export your OnePlus contacts via Google Contacts. This method doesn't require third-party desktop software, but you will need to sync your OnePlus contacts with your Google account first.
Steps to export contacts via Google Contacts
Step 1. On your OnePlus phone, go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Google", and ensure Contacts sync is enabled.
Step 2. Open a browser on your computer and sign in to Google Contacts with the same Google account.
Step 3. Select the contacts you want to export, or choose "Select All".
Step 4. Click the three-dot menu (More actions) and select "Export".
Step 5. Choose "Google CSV" or "Outlook CSV" (both can be opened in Excel).
Step 6. Download the file and open it in Excel to manage your contacts.
A VCF file (also called a vCard file) is a standard format for saving contact information. Most Android phones, including OnePlus, have a built-in option to export contacts to a VCF file. Once you have the VCF file, you can convert it into Excel format using Google Contacts, Microsoft Excel, or online converters. Here is how it works:
Step 1. On your OnePlus phone, open the Contacts app.
Step 2. Tap the three-dot menu (More options) and select "Settings" > "Import/Export" > "Export to .vcf file".
Step 3. Choose where you want to save the file (internal storage or SD card) and tap "Save".
Step 4. Transfer the exported .vcf file to your computer via USB, email, or cloud storage.
Step 5. To convert the VCF into Excel:
Open Google Contacts, import the VCF file, and then export it again as a CSV file that opens in Excel.
Or, directly open the VCF file in Excel and use the Text to Columns function to organize the data.
Another option is to use a mobile app like Contacts To Excel, available on the Google Play Store. This app is designed specifically to convert contacts into Excel or CSV files directly from your phone.
Follow these steps to use the Contacts To Excel app to export OnePlus contacts to Excel:
Step 1. Download and install Contacts To Excel from the Google Play Store.
Step 2. Open the app and grant the necessary permissions.
Step 3. Tap "Export Contacts".
Step 4. Choose your export format (XLSX or CSV). The app will generate a file, which you can then save locally or send via email/cloud storage.
1. Do I need a computer to export OnePlus contacts to Excel?
Not always. If you use Coolmuster Android Assistant or Google Contacts, you'll need a computer. However, with apps like Contacts To Excel, you can export contacts directly to your OnePlus without a PC.
2. What is the difference between a CSV file and an Excel file?
Both formats work well for exporting contacts, but CSV is more universal, while Excel offers more flexibility for editing and organization.
3. Will exporting contacts delete them from my OnePlus phone?
No. Exporting contacts only creates a copy of your data in Excel or CSV format. Your contacts will remain safely stored on your OnePlus unless you manually delete them afterward.
4. What if some contacts are saved on my SIM card instead of phone storage?
You can still export them, but make sure your OnePlus phone imports SIM contacts into the Contacts app first. Go to "Contacts" > "Settings" > "Import/Export" > "Import from SIM" before using any of the methods.
5. How many contacts can I export at once?
There's no strict limit. Coolmuster Android Assistant and Google Contacts allow bulk export of thousands of contacts. Some free apps, however, may have limitations or require in-app purchases for large contact lists.
Exporting contacts from a OnePlus phone to Excel is simple once you know the right tools.
Now that you've learned how to export OnePlus contacts to Excel in four different ways, pick the one that best suits your needs. For the most complete and hassle-free experience, we recommend using Coolmuster Android Assistant.
