Sample vCard File — Download a .vcf Contacts Test File (12 Contacts)
vCard contact file (.vcf) · .vcf · MIME type text/vcard
Download a sample vCard file — 12 fictional business contacts in vCard 3.0, each with structured name, organisation, title, work phone, email and a Toronto postal address. It imports into iOS and Android Contacts, Outlook, Gmail and any CRM that accepts vCard.
A multi-contact VCF is the standard test for contact importers: does the tool read all 12, or only the first? Are the address components mapped correctly?

Frequently asked questions
vCard 3.0 or 4.0?
3.0 is what nearly every device and app exports and imports reliably; 4.0 (RFC 6350) is newer but less consistently supported. We provide 3.0 for maximum compatibility.
Are these vCard files safe to download?
Yes. Every file is generated by our own open script from scratch — nothing is scraped or user-uploaded — and contains no scripts, macros or executables. The SHA-256 of each file is published on this page so you can verify what you received.
Can I use the sample vCard files commercially?
Yes. They are free for any purpose, including commercial products, test suites, demos and redistribution, with no attribution required. There is nothing to license and no one to ask.
Can I hotlink these files or use them in CI?
Yes. Every link is a stable direct URL over HTTPS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and long cache headers, so curl, wget, fetch() and test runners can pull them directly. A JSON index of every file is linked from each page (see the command-line section).

Uploads, conversions, previews, document processing and media workflows are the kind of production systems Pine & Birch designs and runs for clients — which is why we needed these files in the first place.
