What is Contaxo?
Contaxo is a contacts export and backup app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. It saves your contacts as an Excel, PDF, CSV, Word or vCard file, backs them up and restores only what is missing, moves them to a new iPhone or Android phone with an encrypted QR code, imports contacts from Excel, CSV and vCard files, and merges duplicates. Contaxo was previously called Contacts Hero.
Export formats
One address book, five kinds of file.
Your phone's Contacts app only exports vCard. Contaxo writes the file you actually need, and shows you the real table or pages before anything is saved.
Export
See the file before you save it.
Pick a format and you get the actual spreadsheet, or every page of the PDF or Word file, right away.
- Turn columns on or off: name, phone, email, company, job title, address, birthday and more.
- Export one group, or only the people with a phone number, an email or a company.
- Save to Files or Google Drive, or send by Mail, Messages or any app.
Back up and restore
Never lose a contact.
One tap saves a vCard backup of every contact. The Home tab shows when your backup is out of date and how many contacts changed since.
- iPhone and iPad: backups go to your own iCloud Drive and wait for you on your next phone.
- Android: backups stay on the phone, with a copy to Google Drive or Files in one tap.
- Restore adds only the missing contacts. No duplicates.
New phone
Move every contact with a QR code.
Show a QR code on your old phone, scan it with the new one, and your contacts arrive end-to-end encrypted. iPhone to Android, Android to iPhone, or same to same.
- No iCloud, no Google account, no cables.
- Both phones show the same code, so only your new phone can connect.
- People already on the new phone aren't added twice.
Import
From a spreadsheet to your phone.
Open an Excel, CSV or vCard file. Contaxo recognises the columns (in 30 languages) and lets you tick who to add before anything is saved.
- Works with files from Google Contacts, Outlook, iCloud and other apps.
- Fix a column if it landed in the wrong place.
Duplicates
Clean up duplicates, with an undo.
Find copies by name, phone number or email. Delete the extras, or merge each group into one contact that keeps every number, email and address.
- You decide what counts as a match.
- A restore point is saved before every change.
Privacy
We never see your contacts.
Contaxo reads and processes your address book on your device. A file only leaves the app when you share or save it yourself, and contact details are never sent to analytics. How we handle data
