How to convert Thunderbird CSV contacts into VCF format?

[Robertsmith]

I exported contacts from Mozilla Thunderbird in CSV format. Now I need them in vCard (.vcf). Can anyone suggest a safe method or software for this conversion?

Thunderbird lets you export contacts into a CSV file , but that format won’t open directly on most phones or iCloud. To make them usable , you’ll need to convert the CSV into VCF. The straightforward way is to use a dedicated converter. For example,  with Softaken CSV to VCF Converter you just load the Thunderbird CSV , map the fields like name, number and email, then export as VCF. You can choose whether to create one combined file or separate VCF files for each contact. Once converted, the VCF can be imported into iPhone, Android, Outlook  or cloud accounts. A free demo is available.
