## Description

The vCard File Reader: VCF Contact extension is a powerful and intuitive tool designed to handle all your vCard contact files. It supports various formats including .vcf, JSON (jCard), HTML (hCard), and XML (xCard), allowing users to import, view, and export contacts with ease. Whether you need to back up your contacts into a single .vcf file, restore contacts from old backups, or export contacts to your phone memory or Google account, this extension provides a seamless experience.

Key features include support for vCard protocol versions 3.0 and 4.0, a minimalistic contacts display with photos and essential details, and two methods of contact backup to ensure high-quality images and duplicate removal. It also offers flexible sharing options and runtime permission requests to prioritize user privacy. The extension is perfect for managing old and new vCard contacts directly within your browser, simplifying contact restoration and management workflows.

## Review summary

Overall, the app reads VCF files and helps restore contacts with praise for its simplicity and speed. Recurrent drawbacks include intrusive ads, unreliable search, and limited data display and import fidelity (missing fields, first-100 cap). Some reliability/security concerns are noted. It’s useful for basic VCF reading but could improve data fidelity, UX, and ad handling.

### Pros

- Reads VCF files effectively and lets you view/ extract contact information
- Helps restore specific contacts from VCF backups
- Simple, fast, and does what it says
- Allows selecting single contacts and reattaching photos to contacts
- Import support for vCard 4.0

### Cons

- Ad-heavy free version with requests to remove ads
- Search feature doesn't work reliably
- Only the first 100 contacts are shown from a VCF file
- Displays only names; missing job title/workplace and other fields
- Import can lose some fields (e.g., number category type)
