In Outlook, we can export Outlook contacts as vCard files just by drag and drop. But if you wish to export multiple contacts as a single vCard file, how can you achieve it? This article will introduce a workaround.

Actually, it is considerably simple to export multiple Outlook contacts as separate vCard files. We can just select all of the contacts which we would like to export, and then drag and drop them to one destination folder in File Explorer. Next they will be saved as vCard files.
