Vcard Generator

Posted by mcloide on September 17, 2008

You can always create a Vcard on your own or you can use an generator.

Creating a Vcard is not hard, you will only need to replace the following code with your information and save it into a .vcf file (text file, change extension).

BEGIN:VCARD

END:VCARD

Or you can use a Vcard generator and there inst no other one betther than this one: http://www.vicintl.com/vcf/

I use a lot of Vcards to send to friends, clients, fellow developers, etc. It’s easier and saves automaticly on email clients like Outlook.

Have fun.

    Nice article! I found it very useful! But I also needed to add a image to my vCard file. You can find out how I did it here: http://smartdev.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/how-to-generate-a-vcard-file/

    When I created I haven’t heard about photo, so your Vcard article is pretty good. Thanks for the info.
