Question 1

What is a vCard (.vcf) file?

Accepted Answer

A vCard is the industry-standard electronic business card format (.vcf extension). It stores contact information such as name, phone numbers, email, address, organization and notes in a plain-text structure that can be imported into virtually every contact app — Outlook, Apple Contacts, Google Contacts, Android and iOS.

Question 2

Which vCard version should I use?

Accepted Answer

vCard 3.0 is the safest choice — it is supported by every contact application. vCard 4.0 adds extra fields and structured data but is not supported by older Outlook versions. This tool lets you switch between 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 from the dropdown.

Question 3

How do I import the .vcf file?

Accepted Answer

On Windows, double-click the file to open it in Outlook or the People app. On macOS, double-click to open in Apple Contacts. On iPhone, email the file to yourself or use AirDrop, then tap to import. On Android, open the file from your Files app and it will prompt you to add the contact.

Question 4

Is my contact data uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The vCard is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server, so it is safe to enter personal or business contact details.
