VCF to vCard — FAQ
Is VCF the same as vCard?
Yes. VCF (Virtual Contact File) is the file extension, and vCard is the format name—they refer to the same contact file. You don't need to convert between them to open one.
Do I need a VCF to vCard converter?
Not to view the file. Upload it here to read every contact. If you need a spreadsheet instead, convert it to CSV or Excel with the related tools.
Are my contacts uploaded?
No. The file is parsed locally in your browser, so your contact data never leaves your device.
Can I open a .vcard file too?
Yes. .vcf and .vcard are interchangeable extensions for the same format, and both open here.
