A digital business card, also known as a vCard for short, is saved as a .vcf file on Windows and other systems. The file with the rather unusual extension can be opened very easily using various methods. We explain more information about vCards and how to save them in this article.

1st method: Windows on-board tools

Often, a double click under Windows is enough to open the file. If that doesn't work, you'll need to right-click the file. Then select " Open with " and " Windows Contacts " from the menu . Instead of " Windows Contacts " you can also use another program to open these files.

You should be able to open the file with a double click. Otherwise it helps: right click -> "Open with".

2nd method: mailing program

.vcf. files can also be opened in e-mail programs. These include, for example, Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird. In both programs you can insert a .vcf via " Import " so that the contacts are read out..
