About

What Is a vCard / VCF File?

vCard is a standard format for representing contact information, defined by RFC 6350 (and earlier 2.1 and 3.0). Files are usually named .vcf or .vcard and can contain one or many contacts. Each contact is wrapped in BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD and contains lines like FN (full name), N (name parts), TEL (phone), EMAIL, ADR (address), ORG (organization), TITLE, URL, NOTE, and PHOTO (often base64-encoded).

Smartphones, email clients, and address books (Google, Outlook, Apple) can export and import vCard files. Our free vCard Viewer parses these files and displays each contact in a card grid with name, initials avatar, phone, email, organization, and photo when available — without uploading your data anywhere.

Use the viewer to preview a VCF export before importing it, to check a shared contact file, or to verify backups. Your contacts stay private on your device at all times.
