Join several contact exports into a single VCF for a one-step import
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Checked against sources on 17 Oct 2026.Some phones and old exports save one .vcf per contact, and importing hundreds of files one by one is not practical. Select them all here, or drop a whole batch, and one .vcf with every contact downloads, ready to import in a single step. The same person found in two files is written once; untick Combine to keep the first copy exactly as it was.

Contacts end up in several .vcf files when you move between phones, export from Gmail and iCloud separately, or restore a backup on top of an existing list. Importing them all leaves the same person two or three times.
Matching chains: if one card shares a number with a second, and the second shares an email with a third, all three are one person. Numbers shorter than seven digits, such as 112, never match anything.
What happens to duplicates. With Combine ticked, the first copy of each person is kept exactly as it was, photo, birthday, notes and custom fields included, and every phone number and email the other copies add is written into it. Untick Combine to keep the first copy only. The page lists which names were merged before you download, so a wrong match can be spotted.

Drop both .vcf files on Merge VCF Files. Every contact is read, people saved in both are recognised by phone number or email, and the page says how many remain. Press Download and one .vcf holds everyone once, ready to import on a phone or in Gmail.
Two contacts are treated as one person when they share a phone number, compared on its digits so spaces, dashes and a leading +91 or 0 do not matter, or an email address in any case. Tick Same full name to also join contacts with exactly the same name.
Yes. Select up to 500 .vcf files at once, or drop a whole batch on the page, and they become one file. Phones that export one file per contact can then be imported in a single step instead of hundreds.
Two different people are joined when they share a phone number or email, such as a shared office line or family address. The list above the Download button names each merged group; if one is wrong, untick Same full name if it is on, or fix the number in the contact before merging.
