Importing Contacts into Handoff

Guide to uploading your contacts into your Handoff account

Written by Sofia Herrera

You can import contacts into Handoff in bulk by uploading a CSV, PDF, or image file. Here is how to do it.


How to Import Contacts

  1. Go to Contacts in the main navigation.

  2. Tap the upload icon (up arrow) in the top right corner.

  3. Select the file you want to import (CSV, PDF, or image).

  4. Handoff reads the file and imports the contacts automatically.

File Type Limits

  • CSV — No contact limit. Use CSV for large imports.

  • PDF or image — Maximum 30 contacts per file. If you have more, split the file into batches of 30.

Duplicate Handling

Handoff automatically detects and skips duplicate contacts based on:

  • Matching email address → flagged as duplicate

  • Matching phone number → flagged as duplicate

  • Matching name only → not flagged as duplicate

Tips

  • Use CSV for large batches — it is faster and supports unlimited contacts.

  • For small sets of contacts on paper or in a scanned document, use image or PDF upload.

  • Review your contacts after importing to confirm accuracy.
