Drop VCF (vCard) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the JSON, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The VCF to JSON converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your contacts are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
VCF is a format for contacts, not a spreadsheet, so it cannot be sorted or edited as a table. JSON is what APIs and most programming languages read natively. VCF is at home in sharing and moving contacts; JSON is the usual choice for APIs and data exchanged between programs.
vCard versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 are all read, including quoted-printable text and per-line character sets. Each contact becomes one row, with extra email addresses and phone numbers in numbered columns. Files up to 100 MB are accepted.
A VCF file holds one or more contact cards: name, phone numbers, email addresses, addresses and optionally a photo. It is the standard way to export and import contacts. Versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 exist and differ in details such as character encoding.

VCF converterJSON represents data as nested objects and lists in plain text. It is the default language of web APIs. Unlike a spreadsheet it can be nested to any depth, which is also why turning it into rows and columns takes a decision about how to flatten it.

No. The VCF to JSON conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
The values are kept. Anything JSON has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the VCF file, press Convert and save the JSON. There is nothing to install.
Yes. A file can be up to 100 MB; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
