Export Outlook Vcard

[Ottavia Delamar]

Forwhat it's worth - I just came across this thread looking for the same export to individual .VCF files from outlook. I haev 2007 (don't know if that makes a difference) but I selected all contacts and dragged them to a new email message to be added as individual .VCF files. After they were all added, I clicked in the attachments section of the new email, hit CTRL-A to highlight all of them, then left-click-dragged the first (and therefore all of them) to the folder I wanted the individual .VCF files in. A few minutes of Outlook "thinking" about my 400 contacts they were all there!

First, export all your contacts in Outlook to vCards (I found emailing them to yourself is the easiest. If you get an error message "to many attachments..." you can save them from the email in your sent items folder) and copy the vCards to the memory card on your phone.

Outlook already allows you to convert your contacts into vCard format, but only one at a time. But with the Outlook vCard Converter add-in, you can easily import or export all your contacts in vCard format with one click of your mouse.

How do you know if you need a vCard converter? Outlook already allows you to convert your contacts into vCard format (a vcf file). However, you can only convert one contact at a time. Plus, Outlook can only read the first entry of a vcard file no matter how many contacts are contained in that file.

Now however, you can easily convert all your contacts to vCard format with one click of your mouse with the Outlook vCard Converter add-in. It allows you to export all your contacts within a folder, or you can choose to export just the ones you select. In addition, you can import multiple contacts from a single vcf file.

Moving to a Mac?

Vcard Converter provides a great way to move your contacts from Outlook to the Mac for use in the default mail program or Entourage. Note: This product runs only under Windows.

New! As of version 4.1, we've added direct support for the VCard 3.0 specifications (rfc 2425 and rfc 2426). What this means for you is that you get faster, more complete transfers of your contacts. For instance, Outlook doesn't support some VCard fields (like Categories) because it only supports VCard specification 2.1 - but VCard Converter handles them without a problem. After using this tool, you may find that there are new contact fields that are filled in that you didn't know were contained in your VCard files (like Categories, for example).

This new direct support for the VCard specifications is also quick. Because the add-in creates the contact directly and fills in the fields by rapidly reading the file rather than relying on Outlook's native capabilities, it means the import and export process is now faster than ever before. It's perfect for converting to and from Apple products.

Note: this issue is different from [Bug][Help] VCARD V3.0 Photos - #2 by nickelnoff since the photos here are embedded inside the VCARD and not as external URLs. This is the reason why I exported through Evolution, to get the actual photo inside the vcf file.

After some more test, I found that if I use CardDav of NextCloud inside Thunderbird (which I remind you it is possible to see photos), and create an entry with a new photo, when I go back to NextCloud, the photo is still not preset, but if I export it, the photo is here.

I have no idea about your issue. In my instance I have hundreds of contacts (majority imported with vcf from Outlook export), dozens have pictures and I see this pictures everywhere - in Nextcloud UI, Thunderbird and mobile with DavX5

On the question of Vcard versions, my phone and computer all claim to have V4.0 vcfs. But Nextcloud seems to only deal with v3.0 vcfs. i.e. as I understand it, when you upload v4.0 vcfs, nextcloud contacts understands them and converts them to v3.0, which it uses as its working format.

Wikipedia lists these as the alternate formats for the PHOTO field in vcards.

vCard (.vcf) is a file format standard for electronic business cards. vCard Wizard Contacts Converter will export the whole Contacts Microsoft Outlook folder to one or multiple vCard ( .vcf) files. You can convert to vCard format any Contacts folder, including Microsoft Exchange Public folders or select contacts of your choice. If you need to sync, export or move your Outlook contacts, the easiest way is to use our vCard Wizard Contacts Converter software. vCard is compatible with Google Contacts, iPhone, iPod and Mac, Android, Palm, Blackberry, Entourage and most of cellphones.

"Your software worked as advertised and as intuitively as could be expected. It allowed me to easily move a batch of vcards from my work PC to my home Mac. I would purchase the program if I had an ongoing need and recommend it to anyone who does."
