How to Convert EML Messages to VCF Format
Converting EML messages to VCF (vCard) format is beneficial for various reasons. VCF files are commonly used for contact management, allowing users to extract and save contact information from email messages separately. The VCF format ensures compatibility with a wide range of email clients, contact management software, and devices, enabling seamless integration and synchronization of contacts. Additionally, VCF files provide a convenient way to backup and share contact information, as well as easily import contacts into address books and contact management applications. Converting EML to VCF allows for efficient organization, accessibility, and sharing of contact details across different platforms and devices.
Aspose.Email for Java is a powerful API that provides comprehensive functionality for working with email messages, contacts, calendars, and tasks in Java applications. To convert EML messages to VCF format, the library offers a MailMessage class to create an object representing an e-mail message. It allows to access message properties, such as subject, body, sender and recipients addreses, etc. With its methods, you can create, load and parse, modify, save emails, or perform other manipulations with them. The AlternateView class represents the format to view specific message content like contact information, etc. For more information about the API high code features, please visit our reference resources .
Steps to Convert EML to VCF via Java
Java programmers can easily convert EML file to VCF in just a few lines of code.
- Load the EML file with the MailMessage.load() method.
- Retrieve the alternate view with MediaType “text/vcard” (VCF) from the loaded MailMessage.
- Check if a VCF view is found.
- If a VCF view exists, convert its content to a string.
- Write the VCF content to a file using the Files.write() method.
System Requirements
Before running the Java conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

Convert EML to VCF - Java
// Load the EML file
MailMessage eml = MailMessage.load("message.eml");
// Find the alternate view with MediaType "text/vcard" (VCF)
AlternateView vcfView = eml.getAlternateViewContent(new ContentType("text/vcard"));
// If a VCF view is found, save it to a file
if (vcfView != null) {
String vcfContent = new String(vcfView.getContent());
Files.write(Paths.get("contact.vcf"), vcfContent.getBytes());
}
What is EML File Format?
EML file format represents email messages saved using Outlook and other relevant applications. Almost all emailing clients support this file format for its compliance with RFC-822 Internet Message Format Standard. Microsoft Outlook is the default software for opening EML message types. EML files can be used for saving to disc as well as sending out to recipients using communication protocols.
What is VCF File Format?
VCF (vCard) is a file format used for storing contact information, such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other details. VCF files are commonly used to exchange contact information between different devices, email clients, and contact management applications. Each VCF file typically represents a single contact or a group of contacts and may include various fields to store different types of contact data. VCF files can be easily imported and exported from different platforms, making it a convenient and standardized format for sharing and managing contact information. Additionally, VCF files can be easily attached to emails or shared through various means, allowing users to transfer contact details seamlessly between devices and applications.
