## How to Manually Export Contacts From Constant Contact

This will bring you to your contacts page.

Check the contacts you want to export and the _Export_ button will show up in the dark gray toolbar above your contacts.

If you'd like to export all of your contacts, click the checkbox in the top row. This will select all of your contacts.

What's the difference between the two formats? Here's a quick overview.

- A **CSV**, or comma separated variables, file is a simple text document. Each of your contacts will be one line in that text document, with each field separated by a comma. CSV files are a very common way to import and export contacts between different services, so in most cases this is going to be what you want.
- An **Excel** file is a spreadsheet you can open using Microsoft's spreadsheet software, Excel, though other applications can open it. Use this if you specifically want an Excel file.
