# Vcf To Csv — REST API endpoint `vcf-to-csv`

Convert a vCard (.vcf) contacts export from an iPhone, an Android phone, Gmail or Outlook into CSV, one row per contact. vCard 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 are read, including folded lines, quoted-printable values, group prefixes such as item1.TEL, and bare 2.1 parameters such as TEL;WORK;VOICE. The first email and phone fill their own columns while every value is also listed with its type in the emails and phones columns. A photo is never written into the spreadsheet: PHOTO, LOGO, SOUND and KEY values are dropped and counted. The browser page accepts a 10 MB file; the API and MCP surfaces cap a request at 1 MB, so a large address book belongs on the page.
