vCard Converter for Phone and Webmail VCF Files

A VCF exported from an iPhone, Android or Google Contacts usually packs hundreds of cards into one file. Double click it on Windows and Outlook adds only the first person. Older 2.1 cards scramble accented names. vCard Converter reads every card in the file and converts the full address book in one run.

Why Outlook adds only one contact

Opening a VCF in Outlook imports the first card and silently skips the rest. A 300 contact export from a phone turns into one entry. vCard Converter splits the file into separate cards and converts all of them, or writes a PST that brings every contact into Outlook together.

Core features

vCard Converter in Four Screens

Load the cards, look them over, filter and export. These are the real wizard windows.

Load

Open vCard Files From the Menu

Under Open, Email Data Files, a vCard Files entry sits beside the mailbox formats. That one entry gets vCard Converter ready for contact files of any version.

vCard Files under Email Data Files
Multi-contact VCF files split into cards
vCard 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 accepted
Subfolders loaded with their names

Choose Files and Choose Folders for VCF contacts

Card list

Choose VCF Files or Full Folders

Choose Files takes one or several VCFs. Choose Folders loads a directory with its subfolders, and vCard Converter shows a card count beside every folder.

Folder and subfolder checkboxes
Card totals beside folder names
Compact View for long folder trees
Test or duplicate lists left out

Contact preview

Preview Contacts Before Converting

Click any name and vCard Converter shows the card in two tabs, enough to catch a broken phone field or a missing company before export.

Contact Details groups personal, contact and home address fields under clear labels
Raw vCard displays the original BEGIN:VCARD text line by line
Compact View hides folders that hold no cards
Contact count and folder path stay visible in the status bar and breadcrumb

Advanced Search fields for vCard contacts

Field search

Find Contacts by Name, Company or Job Title

Advanced Search covers all cards or the Contacts fields alone. Convert only one company, one department or everyone in a single city and skip the rest of the address book.

Full name or email match
Company and department
Job title or IM address
Contact number lookup
Postal code and country
Find and Reset buttons

Export options

Select a vCard Converter Output

The Export menu groups targets by type. Email Files hold PST, Document Files hold PDF, HTML, TEXT, CSV and vCard, and Email Services cover Office 365.

PST, CSV, PDF, HTML and TXT files
vCard 3.0 or 4.0 and Office 365 contacts
A VCF too large to handle in one piece can be cut up first with the VCF File Splitter

Before converting

vCard Converter Card Prep

A clean VCF converts cleanly. Three quick checks before the run.

iPhone

Export from iCloud, not the phone

On icloud.com open Contacts, select all, then Export vCard. iCloud writes vCard 3.0 with every card in one VCF, which loads straight into the tool.

Android

Use the Contacts app export

In the phone's Contacts app, the import and export menu saves a .vcf to phone storage. Copy it to the PC by USB cable or a cloud drive before loading.

Old cards

Spot vCard 2.1 files

Open the VCF in Notepad. VERSION:2.1 with QUOTED-PRINTABLE lines means an older card. Convert it to vCard 4.0 so names stay readable in modern apps.

Spreadsheet output is covered in Convert VCF to CSV and Convert VCF to Excel.

Free demo

Convert Sample Cards With vCard Converter

Before purchase

Outlook VCF Import vs vCard Converter

Outlook can open a VCF for free. It works for a single business card, but a phone export holding hundreds of cards needs vCard Converter. Here is the difference row by row.

Job	Outlook import	vCard Converter
Cost	Free	$99 one time
One business card	Opens it fine	Handles it too
Multi-contact VCF	First card only	Every card converted
Folder of VCF files	One file at a time	Full folders in one batch
Output files	Outlook contacts only	PST, CSV, PDF, HTML, TXT
Version upgrade	Not available	2.1 to 3.0 or 4.0
Field search	None	Name, company, title, city
Photos and numbers	Inside the card only	Extracted to separate files

Green rows mark where Outlook's own import is enough.

For one card, double clicking the VCF is all it takes. Bringing a full phone export into Microsoft 365 is explained in Import VCF to Outlook 365 .

Common questions

Questions on vCard Converter

Cards, versions, phone exports and what the demo converts.

How do I convert a VCF file?

Go to Open, Email Data Files, vCard Files and add your VCFs or a folder of them. Check the cards in preview, open the Export menu, choose the output and click Save.

Why does Outlook import only one contact from my VCF?

Outlook reads the first card in a multi-contact file. Convert your VCF to PST with this tool and every contact comes into Outlook together.

Can I convert vCard 2.1 to 3.0 or 4.0?

Yes. Select vCard under Export and set the target version, 3.0 or 4.0. Every contact field carries over.

Does it keep contact photos?

Yes. Extract saves contact photos as separate image files next to your converted contacts.

Can I convert an iPhone VCF to CSV?

Yes. Export your contacts from iCloud as one VCF, load it and select CSV. Every field gets its own column for Excel or a CRM import.

Can I print my contacts?

Yes. Convert your VCF to PDF and every card comes out as a readable page for printing or filing.

Can I upload contacts to Office 365?

Yes. Select Office 365 under Email Services, sign in to your account and the cards land in Outlook contacts.

Can I merge many VCF files into one?

Yes. Load the folder, select vCard under Export and save a single VCF holding every card.

Do large VCF files work?

The full version has no limit on file size or card count.

Can I export only some contacts?

Yes. Advanced Search filters by name, email, company, job title, address or postal code, and only matching cards are converted.

Can I pull phone numbers out of VCF files?

Yes. Extract saves phone numbers, email addresses or contact photos to their own files.

Does my VCF change?

No. The tool only reads your files and writes results to a new location.

Does it work on a Mac?

Not natively. Move your VCF files onto any Windows computer and run the conversion there.

Which formats can I convert VCF to?

PST, CSV, PDF, HTML, TXT and vCard, plus a direct upload to Office 365.

How far does the vCard Converter trial go?

It converts 10 cards from every folder with preview, search and every format unlocked.

Outlook and iCloud

Working with VCF

Mail files rather than contacts belong on the Email Migration Tool page or, for server accounts, the IMAP Migration Tool. Mailbox formats are converted by the email converter tool. Damaged mail data goes to the email recovery software. Mailbox files can be opened free in the email viewer software. Contact tools: VCF File Splitter and MBOX Converter.

Thanks for helping out. I had vCard 2.0 files and want 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.
