Hello øivind257,


You would need to share or export your desired contacts from Outlook as a vCard.


This resource from Microsoft covers that process: Share contacts as vCards - Microsoft Support


Afterwards, you can use the steps below via the iCloud website to import the contacts: Import, export, or print contacts on iCloud.com - Apple Support


1. In Contacts on iCloud.com, click the Add button on the right, then choose Import Contact.
2. Select a vCard to import.

Contacts from imported vCards are added to the All Contacts list. You can add contacts to any other list by dragging them. See Create and manage lists of contacts on iCloud.com.


Should you run into any difficulties with exporting your contacts, you'll want to reach out to Microsoft: Contact Us - Microsoft Support They'll be in the best position to help with exporting contacts from their platform.


Take care.
