- Create a custom CSV file, or export the address book from your other webmail provider or email client as a CSV file.
- Sign in to Gmail.
- Click Contacts (located below your list of views) on any Gmail page.
- Click Import in the top portion of the Contact Manager.
- Click the Browse... or Choose File button and locate the CSV file you'd like to upload.
- Select the file and click the Import button.
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.
