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

Prepare Your VCF Files for 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

How to Keep Your VCF Conversion Safe

A VCF conversion only helps if your contacts arrive complete. Four habits keep your data safe through it.

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.
