Convert PST to VCF in 6 Steps
Six screens lead from your PST file to saved VCF files. Click a step tab to see its screen. Software Guide covers more screens including report saving.
Step 1. Load the PST File
Launch the software from Start, All Programs and vCard Export. Use Browse for File for one PST file at a known location. Use Browse for Folder when separate PST files sit in one folder. Auto Detect Outlook PST File locates your default Outlook contact file and works only with Outlook installed.
Step 2. Scan and Preview the Contacts
Scanning collects contacts from archive.pst when you have one and from your regular PST or OST file. Click Ok and every contact appears in a directory structure grouped by PST. Select a contact to view its properties and switch between horizontal and vertical view.
Step 3. Tick the Contacts and Click Export
Tick the contacts you want. Right click and select Export or click Export Selected. Select a contacts folder and click Export to convert everything inside it.
Step 4. Choose vCard as the Format
Select vCard (VCF) for VCF output. Select Single vCard to put many contacts in one vCard file. Google CSV, Yahoo CSV, WAB, PDF, CSV, MSG, PST and HTML sit in the same list.
Step 5. Set the vCard Version
Open Advance Settings and select vCard 2.1, 3.0 or 4.0. Version 2.1 suits mobile or desktop apps, 3.0 suits webmail servers and 4.0 suits cloud servers. Tick the merge option to place all contacts in one vCard file.
Step 6. Select the Destination and Export
Browse to the destination folder and tick Maintain Folder Hierarchy. Click Export. While contacts save, the export window lists Folder, Item Count and Destination Path. A success message ends the job, so click OK and open your VCF files.
Demo edition has a contact limit and needs no licence.

Why Native Outlook Steps Slow PST Contact Export
Four facts from Microsoft about contacts and VCF files. PCVITA software closes all four gaps in one job.
- 1
Save As Starts From One Open Contact
Microsoft's vCard steps start in an open contact with File and Save As. PST to VCF Converter from PCVITA loads the PST file and converts all contacts you tick in a single batch.
- 2
The Export Wizard Offers CSV for Your Account Contacts
Classic Outlook export steps choose Comma Separated Values and the Contacts folder under your account. PCVITA software opens a PST file directly and saves VCF files as output.
- 3
Attached vCards Join Outlook One by One
Microsoft says you add attached vCards to your Outlook contacts one by one. PCVITA converter creates VCF files in bulk, so you handle one folder instead of single contacts.
- 4
Bulk VCF Files Need a CSV Step in Outlook
For a bulk VCF file from iCloud, Microsoft converts the file to CSV through Windows Contacts before Outlook imports it. Load your VCF contacts with PCVITA vCard Importer Software or save CSV straight from your PST file.
Get Your PST Contacts Ready Before Conversion
Seven checks before the first export. Work down the list, then launch the software.
- Copy the PST file to a safe folder first, so your original contacts stay untouched.
- Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or above on your PC.
- Start the software as administrator with the Run as Administrator option on Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
- Install Outlook only for Auto Detect. Browse for File and Browse for Folder work without it.
- Choose the vCard version your target needs. Use 2.1 for mobile or desktop use, 3.0 for webmail and 4.0 for cloud.
- Decide on the layout. Keep VCF files separate or use the merge setting for one VCF file.
- Test the free demo on your contacts before you pay. Download the demo edition and check the VCF files.
System lines follow the Specifications table below. Facts about Outlook follow the pages in the Sources list.
