CSV to VCF (vCard) Converter

CSV to VCF (vCard) Converter is a compact application that can easily extract information about your contacts from CSV files and export it to VCF file format.

The advantages of being portable

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that your Windows registry doesn't get bloated with unnecessary entries. Plus, you may copy it on any USB flash drive or other device and take it with you whenever you need to run the tool on a target computer without having to go through installation steps.

A few words about CSV and VCF file formats

There are a lot of email clients that save the contact information in different formats but most of them allow you to backup the information in comma separated value (CSV) files.
This method has the advantage of quickly exporting all the contact database into a single file. But if you want to send someone the contact information of a third person you do not want to share all the entries in your address book.
What you need is a VCF file that includes the contact information of only one person in a vCard format. vCard files are widely supported by email clients and can also be opened and edited by contact managers that are sometimes included in the operating system.

How it works

This program allows you to load a CSV file and to extract the vCard information for all the entries in separate files. You can also choose to extract the information directly from Outlook and to save them into a local folder.
This program is useful if you want to import new contacts from your old email client or contact manager but you do not need to import the whole database. What is the point of importing fifty or more contacts when you only need ten of them? Using this compact converter you can save the time that you are likely to spend selecting and deleting the unwanted items.

Bottom line

The interface on the program is very simple. The conversion can take from a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the size of the address book. The program is quite small and can be run from any location, even from a portable USB drive.
