What is a vCard?
A vCard, also known as VCF (Virtual Contact File), is a standardized file format used for storing and exchanging contact information electronically. vCards can contain a wide range of information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, logos, photographs, and audio clips. They are commonly attached to email messages but can also be sent via other methods such as Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), instant messaging, or even embedded in web pages.
