vCard Generator
Fill in contact details and download a standard vCard (.vcf) file you can import into any phone or address book. Runs entirely in your browser.
Pure browser JavaScript — builds the standard vCard 3.0 format; no third-party library.
How to use this tool
- Fill in the contact fields (at least a name).
- Click Preview to inspect the generated vCard text.
- Click Download .vcf and import the file into your contacts app.
A vCard (.vcf) is the universal contact-card format that phones, email clients, and address books understand. Enter a name, organization, phone, email, website, and address, then download a ready-to-import .vcf file. All fields are properly escaped per the vCard 3.0 specification.
How it works
The vCard Generator creates a standard .vcf (vCard) contact file from the details you enter in the form: name, phone, email, organization, job title, website, and address. Click Download and the file saves to your device, ready to import into any phone contacts app, email client, or address book.
The vCard format (version 3.0) is supported by virtually every platform including iOS, Android, Outlook, Gmail Contacts, macOS Contacts, and most CRM tools. Sending a .vcf file to someone is the fastest way to share contact details in a universally importable format.
The tool runs entirely in your browser. No contact information is transmitted to any server, which makes it appropriate for sharing sensitive details like direct phone lines or personal email addresses.
You can also use this tool to create vCards for business cards: generate the file, then include it as a QR code attachment or email it alongside your PDF business card.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Including phone numbers without a country code, which can make the contact difficult to dial from international devices.
- Leaving the name field blank, causing the contact to appear with no name in the recipient's address book.
- Entering a URL without the https:// prefix, which may cause the link to be unrecognized by some contact apps.
