Outlook – How to export the Exchange/Outlook contacts to iCloud with photos intact

contactsexchangeicloudmicrosoft-outlook

I know how to export contacts from Exchange/Outlook via the .csv route (e.g. export as CSV, import into Gmail, export as vCard, then import into iCloud). But that method loses all the photos that are attached my contacts.

Is there a way to move my contacts to iCloud with photos intact?

Best Answer

There are utilities to help with this. For example CopyTrans Contacts:

CopyTrans Contacts makes managing your iPhone contacts breathtakingly easy. Organise, edit and delete contacts quickly. Back up and export contacts onto your PC.

Here's a link to their instructions on using their software to transfer Outlook contacts to iCloud, it seems to show pictures are moved as well.

Blurb:

Importing contacts from Outlook on PC to an iCloud account was until recently a complicated matter which involved syncing an iOS device to iTunes. Not any more: you can now use CopyTrans Contacts and after a few clicks transfer Outlook contacts to your iCloud account.

Note: I have never used that particular software. :)
