Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vCard?
A vCard (.vcf) is a standard file format for electronic business cards. It stores contact information that can be imported into any contact manager.
Which devices support vCard?
All major platforms: iPhone, Android, Gmail, Outlook, Apple Contacts, Thunderbird, and more.
Can I include a photo?
The current version supports text-based contact info. Photo support is planned for a future update.
What vCard version is used?
vCard 3.0, which is the most widely supported version across all platforms.
Can I generate multiple vCard files in bulk from a list of contacts?
Our free vCard Generator is designed for creating individual .vcf contact files one at a time. You manually input the name, email, phone, company, and address fields for each contact. While bulk generation from a spreadsheet or contact list is not currently supported, this tool is perfect for quickly generating single digital business cards for personal use or small-scale needs.
What's the best way to format phone numbers and addresses for the vCard generator?
For optimal compatibility, enter phone numbers using a standard international format, like +1 555-123-4567, or local format with spaces/hyphens as preferred. For addresses, include full details (street, city, state/province, postal code, country) across multiple lines if needed. Our free vCard generator accepts standard text input, and the interpretation of these details often depends on the recipient's contact management software, so clarity is key for successful imports.
Is it safe to share my contact details using a vCard?
Absolutely. A vCard is simply a digital snapshot of your contact info, like a traditional business card. When you share a vCard created with our generator, you're only sharing the specific details you've chosen to include, such as your name, email, and phone number. No sensitive data is encrypted by the generator itself, so always ensure you're comfortable with the information you're adding before creating your .vcf file.
How do I send a vCard I just created?
After clicking 'Download', you'll get a .vcf file on your device. On an iPhone, you can tap 'Share' from the Files app and choose AirDrop, Messages, or Mail. Android users can attach the .vcf directly to an email or share via WhatsApp. For desktop, just drag the file into an email compose window — most clients like Gmail or Outlook will attach it automatically. Pro tip: if you're emailing someone, type their name in the subject line so they know who's reaching out.
Is there a limit to how many contacts I can save in one vCard file?
A single .vcf file holds exactly one contact. That's the vCard 3.0 standard. If you need to send multiple people, create separate files and attach them all to the same email. Most phones will import each one individually when you open the attachment.
