VCF to JSON

Export a vCard address book as structured JSON, with emails and phones as arrays.

Moving an address book between a phone, a mail client and a spreadsheet, merging exports from two devices that each hold half the contacts, and reading a .vcf someone sent without importing it first.

Splitting a structured field on its separator without honouring the escape. A vCard writes a name and an address as parts joined by semicolons — but a semicolon inside a value is escaped, so a company written "Dupont & Sons\; Ltd" is one part and naive splitting tears it in two. Long values fold onto continuation lines for the same reason.

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: CSV to VCF is the one to open when you need it to build a vCard file your phone can import from a spreadsheet of contacts. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Merge VCF files is the closest one after this: Combine several vCard files into a single address book you can import once.

VCF to CSV and VCF viewer — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

vCard files are read against the published specification, with line folding undone and escapes honoured before anything is split. The tools do not reconcile duplicates by guessing: merging keeps what both files agree on and shows you the rest rather than silently choosing.
