4Outlook imports only the first contact
MSOutlook.info guide to importing multiple contacts from a vCard file says Outlook imports only the first contact in a multi-contact VCF, and one VCF file at a time. A 300 contact phone export becomes one entry. vCard converter splits the file into separate cards and converts all of them, or builds a PST that brings every contact into Outlook together.

Core features
Five screens of Corbett vCard converter software, in conversion order.
Source files
Select Open, then Email Data Files, and choose vCard Files. That one entry gets vCard converter ready for contact files of any version.
No Outlook or phone connection is needed. vCard converter reads your VCF files and leaves them as they were.
Batch loading
Select Choose Files for one VCF or several. Select Choose Folders to load a directory with its subfolders in one step.
Loaded cards appear in one tree, so vCard converter handles many VCF files in a single session. Multi-contact files split into separate cards, and no file size limit applies.
Contact preview
Click any name and a reading pane opens beside two tabs. Use them to catch a broken phone field or a missing company before export starts.
Contact Details groups personal, contact and home address fields under clear labels. Raw vCard shows the original BEGIN:VCARD text line by line. Compact View hides folders that hold no cards, and the status bar shows your contact count.
Output formats
The Export menu groups targets by type. Email Files hold PST, Document Files hold PDF, HTML, TEXT, CSV and vCard, and Email Services hold Office 365.
Select vCard to save a single VCF holding every card, or to move cards to vCard 3.0 or 4.0. Select CSV to give every field its own column for Excel or a CRM.
Data filters
Advance Search covers all cards or the Contacts fields alone. Search by full name, email, company, department, job title, IM address, contact number or postal code, then convert only the results.
Select Find to filter and Reset to clear. Convert one company, one department or everyone in a single city and skip the rest of your address book.

I purchased vCard Converter Tool from their official website, and used the chat facility to get assistance with installation. Their support executive was helpful and friendly and was able to resolve all my questions quickly.
Thanks for helping out. I had vCard 2.0 files and wanted to convert them to the latest vCard 4.0 to add more details to the contact card. The vCard to VCF converter had done a great job. Satisfied purchase.
Before conversion
Three short checks keep your VCF conversion clean.
Export iPhone contacts from iCloud
Apple guide to exporting contacts as a vCard from iCloud says selecting many contacts exports them in a single vCard. Select all contacts on icloud.com, export and load that VCF.
Copy phone exports to your PC
Save a .vcf from your Android or Google Contacts app, then copy it to Windows by USB cable or cloud drive before you load it.
Check the card version
Open your VCF in Notepad and look for the VERSION line. VERSION:2.1 marks an older card, so convert it to vCard 4.0 to keep names readable.
Spreadsheet output is covered in Convert VCF to CSV and Convert VCF to Excel.
Best practice
A VCF conversion only helps if your contacts arrive complete. Four habits keep your data safe through it.
Back up first
Copy your original VCF files before you start. Keep 3 copies on 2 types of media with 1 copy off site.
Start with one VCF
Convert one small file with vCard converter and open a few contacts in your new format. Catch a wrong setting before a large job.
Check the count
Compare the contact count in your phone with the cards in your output before you close the job.
Keep originals until checked
Store your source VCF files until counts match. Delete them only after you open converted contacts.
