What Is vCard Generator?

vCard Generator creates .vcf contact files following the vCard 3.0 specification (RFC 6350). These files are the universal standard for digital business cards and contact information exchange. Enter contact details including name, email, phone, organization, job title, website, and address, and generate a .vcf file that can be imported into any contacts application — iPhone Contacts, Google Contacts, Outlook, and more.

Why Use vCard Generator?

  • vCard 3.0 format compatible with all major contacts apps.
  • Complete contact fields: name, email, phone, org, title, address, website, notes.
  • Download as .vcf file or copy raw content.
  • Proper vCard formatting with REV timestamp.

Common Use Cases

Technical Guide

The generator creates vCard 3.0 format with standard properties: N (structured name), FN (formatted name), ORG (organization), TITLE (job title), EMAIL (with INTERNET type), TEL (with CELL type), URL (website), ADR (structured address with HOME type), and NOTE.

The FN property is automatically generated from first and last name. The REV property is set to the current timestamp in ISO 8601 format.

Line endings use CRLF (\r\n) as required by the vCard specification. Special characters in NOTE fields are escaped with the \n notation for newlines.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    At minimum, provide a first or last name — this is required for a valid vCard.
  • 2
    The address section is optional — expand it if you need to include a mailing address.
  • 3
    The .vcf file can be emailed as an attachment for easy contact sharing.
  • 4
    Notes with newlines are properly escaped in the vCard output.
