Importing CSV files

To import contacts to Gmail:

1. Create a custom CSV file, or export the address book from your other webmail provider or email client as a CSV file.
2. Log in to your Gmail account.
3. Click Contacts on the left side of any Gmail page.
4. Click Import in the bottom-left corner.
5. Click Browse... and locate the CSV file you'd like to upload.
6. Select the file and click Import.

Once you've successfully uploaded the document, Gmail will display the number of contacts imported.

A few things to keep in mind:

• If some entries aren't included in your Contacts list, Gmail tells you why these entries were left out.
• If you receive error messages when attempting to import your contacts, you may need to edit your CSV file.
