What is the .vcf Format?

Before we explore how D-Back works with the .vcf format, it's essential to understand what a .vcf file is.

A .vcf (Virtual Contact File) is a file format commonly used for storing contact information. This format is supported by most smartphones, email clients, and address books, making it a popular choice for saving and sharing contact details.

A .vcf file typically contains the following information about a contact:

  • Name
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Physical addresses
  • Photos
  • Social media profiles
question

Note

This feature allows users to export contacts in .vcf format, which can be directly imported into the iPhone or Mac Contacts app.

Here's how it works:

  • Data Scanning and Recovery

When you launch D-Back on your PC, the software first scans your device for any lost or deleted contacts. It uses advanced scanning algorithms to identify any missing contacts, whether they were deleted accidentally, lost due to a system crash, or caused by a device malfunction.

  • Recovery of Contacts

Once the scan is complete, D-Back presents you with a list of recoverable contacts. The contacts are displayed in a user-friendly interface, allowing you to preview and select the contacts you want to recover. This feature is incredibly useful because it gives you the option to choose specific contacts for recovery, rather than restoring your entire contact list.

  • Saving Contacts in .VCF Format

After selecting the contacts you want to recover, D-Back allows you to save them in .vcf format. This file format ensures that your contacts are stored in a universal format compatible with various platforms and devices. Once saved, you can easily import the .vcf file into your PC’s address book or sync it with your email client, such as Outlook or Gmail.

  • Easy Import to Other Devices

The beauty of the .vcf format is that it's widely supported across multiple platforms. Once you've recovered your contacts in .vcf format, you can import them to any device that supports this format. This means that even if you're switching to a new phone, you can easily transfer your contacts without any hassle.
