How do I divide one big vCard file into individual contacts?

I exported my entire contact list into a single vCard file, but I want each contact saved as a separate file. I tried online tools, but they messed up the format or lost details. Can anyone suggest a tool that actually works and keeps all contact info intact?

    That’s a frustrating situation, and you’re absolutely right: splitting a big single vCard (.vcf) file into individual contacts manually is risky — you can easily lose fields, mess up formatting, or even end up with a corrupted file. If you’re looking for a tool that actually works and keeps all contact info intact, I’d like to recommend BitRecover vCard Converter — here’s why it might be the solution you need:

    Yes, you can divide one large vCard file into individual contacts by using a vCard splitting utility that separates each entry into a separate VCF file.

    It can take a long time to extract each contact one by one from a single VCF file with hundreds or thousands of contacts. One easy way is to use a dedicated vCard splitter that reads the whole file and creates separate contact files, preserving information such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, addresses and other fields.

    A secure tool like WholeClear Split vCard Software can help split large vCard files into multiple individual VCF contacts. It supports multiple vCard versions and enables users to manage contacts without the need for external applications.

    After splitting, you can store the generated VCF files at your preferred location and import them into various contact management platforms whenever needed.
