vCard file is an electronic business card that is also known as a VCF file. It is a simple text file that contains several fields. Various programs help open vCard files such as Microsoft Windows Contacts, Microsoft People, Microsoft Outlook 365, Mozilla Thunderbird, Palm Desktop, Bailey Handy Address Book, Fonlow IT Open Contacts, vCardOrganizer, Nokia PC Suite on windows. Moreover, the vCard files are also openable on macOS programs Apple contacts, Palm Desktop, vCard Explorer, etc.

vCard files are used to share the contact information that can be easily readable in other email programs. vCard files save a single or multiple .vcf files.

Sometimes, users need to split vCard files to multiple contacts for their personal use. Hence, to stop the user’s search for break vCard files. I have come up with different solutions to divide vCard files.

How to Split vCard Files to Multiple Contacts Manually

If you want to split or divide vCard files into multiple contacts, then you have to follow the blog. The manual method to extract individual contact files from VCF files is furthermore divided into two steps.

  1. Convert VCF to Windows Contact
  2. Windows Contacts to a Single VCF file

Step 1: Steps to Convert VCF to Windows Contact

  • Firstly, navigate to C:\Users%username%\Contacts.
  • Now, click on the Import button.
  • Here, the Import to Windows Contact dialogue box will appear.
  • From the Import to Windows, choose the vCard (VCF file) option.
  • After that choose the location and select the vCard or VCF file.
  • Now, you will have the properties of selecting vCard or VCF files for each contact. Enter the required field that you need and Tap OK.

2 Spice ups

Hi,

I am having one issue with the manual solution, when I imported my VCF contacts it changed into .contact format. And after using the export option to save a single VCF file, the exported file has incomplete information.

Also, I used your suggested software and SysTools VCF split and merge software, but both don’t support the .contact file format. Do I have to browse the same VCF contacts in the tools?

Thanks
