Yes. If you want to prepare contact data locally before uploading to Gmail, use a desktop utility that converts spreadsheets into a VCF format that Google Contacts accepts. Cloud services may seem convenient, but offline tools keep your data private and let you refine fields before upload. A well-documented option is Softaken Excel to VCF Converter, which lets you preview and map contact attributes before exporting to a Gmail-compatible VCF file. Download it directly from the vendor’s site to avoid unsafe installers, and then upload the resulting VCF to your Gmail contacts with confidence.
