Export Facebook contact to CSV

January 13, 2010 · Filed Under facebook · 2 Comments 

There is many ways to export, share or merge contact information from facebook to another web application & stand alone software. But i didn’t find any solution to get email address from facebook contact list was included instead others information such name, phone number etc because of Facebook was store email address as images type. I don’t know exacly the reasons why but it make difficult to export this images type as text or number string.

There is software as proficilious which using OCR as scanner but it’s limited and not free at all. Anyway here i’m using mail service from live.com which have ability to add contact from my facebook contact list. Here is the method :

1. Sign in to http://mail.live.com (or Sign up if you don’t have an account)
2. Click on People Tab above
3. Click on Add People at side
4. Select for Facebook logo (then will directed to facebook windows for sign in)
5. Follow 3 instructions to import contact from facebook.
6. Click on contact list on left side and we will find contact is updated with facebook contact.
7. Export contact from live mail to CSV by clicking on Manage contact > Export (here we will ask to type a captcha letter)
8. Save .csv file anywhere you prefered.

With this .csv file we can do much more with another web application or merge with another mail service like outlook, gmail, yahoo etc.

If you found another way to export facebook contact especially to back up email address on facebook contact list, please share with me here..
