How to Back Up iPhone Contacts without iTunes/iCloud for Free

Applies To: iPhone XS/XS Max/XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone 6 and iPad in iOS 8 or later

With iCloud, you can back up contacts on your iPhone to cloud storage over Wi-Fi network connection with the backup accessible in iCloud.com. With iTunes, you can back up contacts together with other contents on your iPhone to the computer with the backup accessible but not readable. However, the free iCloud storage you can enjoy is limited and there are lots of iCloud syncing issues that are likely to occur when you use it. And with iTunes, you can't read the files you backed up whenever you need. I guess that's why you are looking for the way to back up your iPhone contacts without iTunes or iCloud. Luckily, there is EaseUS MobiMover Free, the freeware for iOS data transfer and file management, for you to make it without any cost or limitation. Read on to get more details.

How to back up iPhone contacts without iTunes/iCloud

MobiMover is a REALLY FREE tool that enables you to back up your iPhone/iPad (in iOS 8 or later) to PC, sync data from one iOS device to another, add files to iPhone/iPad from PC and manage iPhone/iPad content from the computer free of charge.

Step 3: After choosing the file types, tap the folder icon and set a storage path for the items. 

Step 4: Click Transfer to start backing up your iPhone contacts to computer without iCloud or iTunes. When it has done, you can go to the select folder to check the contacts. (The contacts will be stored as an HTML file on your computer, thus, open it with a browser to view the details.)
