vCard to PDF Converter

Convert a .vcf contacts file to a clean printable PDF, free, in your browser. No upload, no server, no account. Open source and verifiable.

Your file never leaves your browser

Parsing and PDF generation run entirely on your device. No upload, no server, no account. View source if you want to confirm.

How It Works

This tool reads your .vcf file in your browser using JavaScript and uses the jsPDF library, self-hosted on this server, to render a PDF. Nothing about your contacts is uploaded to a server or seen by anyone. The whole conversion happens between your file and your browser tab.

You can verify this two ways. Open your browser’s Network tab while you use the tool and watch: no outbound POST or upload requests fire. Or view the page source and read the JavaScript yourself. There is no server-side component.

Why a vCard to PDF Tool

The vCard format (.vcf) is what most contact apps export. It is good for transferring contact data between apps but unreadable as a printout. A PDF is the opposite: human-readable, printable, archive-friendly, but not editable as a contact entry.

A converter bridges the two. Drop in a vCard file, get a tidy PDF directory you can print, file, or attach to an email.

What This Tool Does and Does Not

It parses standard vCard 3.0 and 4.0 files, supports multiple contacts per file, and reads the fields most people care about: name, phone numbers, emails, addresses, organization, and job title.

It does not currently render contact photos, custom labels, or vCard extensions. If you need those, the ContactPDF iPhone app reads contacts directly off the phone and renders all of those fields including photos.

Getting a vCard File from iPhone

If you do not already have a .vcf file, the export path on iPhone is:

  1. Open the Contacts app.
  2. Tap Lists at the top-left.
  3. To export everything, put your contacts in a single list first.
  4. Long-press the list and tap Export.
  5. Save the resulting .vcf file to Files, AirDrop it to a computer, or email it to yourself.

Privacy Note

Most “free online vCard to PDF” converters upload your file to a server, run the conversion there, and return the PDF. Some retain the data, some sell it, some use it for ad targeting. Read the privacy policies on the alternatives before trusting them with your address book. This tool does the conversion locally because address books are exactly the kind of data that should not be drifting through random servers.
