Imports to a New PST, an Existing PST or a Profile

Three import types cover every Outlook setup. Select the target before the job starts.

  • New MS Outlook PST File

    One new PST file holds the contacts of all imported VCF files. PCVITA software asks for the folder where you want to save it.

  • Existing MS Outlook File

    Contacts join a PST file already on your PC with no change to its other items. No other application can use that PST file at the time.

  • MS Outlook Profile

    Contacts go straight into a profile. Outlook must be installed and configured on the same PC.

  • Field Matching

    Contact fields match on their own during the import.

  • Outlook 2000 to 2021

    Both 32 bit and 64 bit Outlook editions work with the tool.

Targets: new PST, existing PST or Outlook profile

Why Outlook Adds vCards One at a Time

Four facts from Microsoft about getting vCard files into Outlook. PCVITA software closes all four gaps.

  1. 1

    Outlook Adds vCards One by One

    Microsoft's page on vCard import says to add vCards one by one and describes no bulk method. PCVITA vCard Importer loads a full folder and imports every contact in one job.

  2. 2

    Every vCard Needs Save and Close

    Microsoft's steps end with Save & Close in the contact window and ask you to repeat the steps for every vCard in a message. PCVITA software replaces that loop with one Export click.

  3. 3

    The Contacts Folder Route Asks About Every Contact

    Microsoft's iCloud article imports a VCF file from the Windows Contacts folder and prompts you to confirm every contact. PCVITA tool previews all contacts first and imports the ones you select.

  4. 4

    That Route Ends With a CSV File

    The same article exports the contacts to CSV and then sends you to a separate guide to import the CSV into Outlook. PCVITA software saves VCF contacts straight into a PST file or profile.

Prepare Your VCF Files Before You Import

Six checks before your first import. Tick the list before you open the software.

  1. Gather your VCF files in one folder on your PC. Phone exports and address book exports both work.
  2. Install and configure Outlook on the same PC. Saving to PST files and profiles needs it.
  3. Free the PST file. Close it in every other application before you import into it.
  4. Add Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or a newer release to your PC.
  5. Choose the target before you start. Select between a fresh data file, a data file you own already or your profile.
  6. Test the free demo with your own VCF files before you buy. Download the demo edition and import 10 contacts.

System needs match the Specifications table below. Microsoft facts follow the pages linked in the Sources.
