About WAB files

The Windows Address Book (WAB) file is primarily used by older versions of Microsoft Windows to store contact information. Despite its historical relevance, WAB files have become somewhat obsolete with modern contact management systems, posing challenges for users needing to access or convert these files today.

Conversion of WAB files is essential if you want to migrate your contacts to more contemporary formats such as CSV, VCF, or even PST. These conversions can be done using specific software tools like Microsoft Outlook, which allows you to import WAB files and export them in a different format. Alternatively, LibreOffice can be used to handle the conversion to CSV.

One of the major considerations when converting WAB files is data integrity. Ensuring that all contact information is accurately transferred without loss is crucial. Additionally, compatibility issues might arise due to the outdated nature of WAB files, making conversion a potentially cumbersome process.

Moreover, using WAB files today has its drawbacks, including limited support across modern applications and the risk of data corruption. Therefore, converting WAB files to more universally accepted formats is advised.
