MSG to VCF — Outlook contact cards saved as .msg into vCard
A contact dragged out of Outlook becomes a .msg file nothing else opens. Convert one or many of them into a single .vcf.
About this conversion
Drag a contact from Outlook to the desktop and you get a .msg — the same container Outlook uses for email, holding a contact card instead. Other programs either refuse it or try to read it as an empty message. The page recognises the contact inside and reads its fields the same way it reads contacts in a .pst. Drop a whole folder of them, or a zip, and save one .vcf.
Just want to look inside it?
The same tool without converting anything: open the file and read it.
The same contacts, any way out
The file is read once and stays open, so the format is picked at the end: the same list
can leave here as XLSX, CSV, CSV for Google Contacts, CSV for Outlook or PDF. Before that you can search it, see which people are saved
twice — the same number written as (555) 201-4477 in one file and
+15552014477 in another counts as one — and fold the duplicates into a single
card without losing any phone, address or note.
Questions
- The .msg files are mixed: some are emails, some contacts.
- That works. Contacts go to the Contacts tab, messages to the Mail tab, and a meeting to the Calendar tab.
