Need an easy way to Remove Duplicate Contacts from VCF Files

jamesparker

Hi everyone, I’ve got a big list of contacts exported from my Android phone, but now there are tons of duplicates. Can users Remove Duplicate Contacts from VCF Files without losing any unique details? I’m looking for a Windows-based tool that can detect similar names or phone numbers automatically. Any software or simple method that really works?

I had the same issue and adopted a safe workflow that went a long way. Export a copy of the original VCF first, then execute a change preview tool so users can approve merges. I used Softaken vCard Duplicate Remover to Remove Duplicate Contacts from VCF Files and it matched names, numbers, and emails smartly. The preview had suggested merges and permitted manual approval to avoid accidental loss. After sanitizing, I checked several samples and re-imported. Always back up VCF files before running any tool and verify results carefully to prevent loss of important data unintentionally.
