Author Kelly Last modified

While it's straightforward to display contacts as business cards in Outlook by selecting Change View > Business Card from the View tab, you might wonder if you can convert these contacts into independent vCard files. The answer is yes! This guide will show you a simple method to save your Microsoft Outlook contacts as vCard files, making it easier to share them across different platforms and devices.

Step 1: Shift to the Contact view by clicking the Contact in the Navigation Pane.

Step 2: Select the contacts that you will convert to a Vcard file.

Notes:
  • To select multiple consecutive contacts, please hold the Shift key and click the first contact and the last one.
  • To select multiple inconsecutive contacts, please hold the Ctrl key and click each contact that you will convert to a Vcard file.

Step 3: Forward contacts as business cards:

Click the Forward Contact > As a Business Card in the Share group on the Home tab.
