Best Way to Convert Bulk VCF Contacts into PST File for Outlook 2021 Without Data Loss?

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I recently exported all my phone contacts into VCF format, but now I want to use them in Outlook 2021. The issue is that Outlook only lets me import one VCF at a time, which is impossible since I have over 1,500 contacts. On top of that, when I tried a manual import, some details like phone numbers, email IDs, and profile pictures didn't transfer properly.

I've read about VCF to PST converter tools that can batch convert VCF files, but I'm not sure which ones are reliable. I prefer something offline and Windows-based because I don't want to upload personal contacts online. Has anyone faced this same issue? What's the safest and most effective way to convert multiple VCF files to PST for Outlook?

I had similar problems importing hundreds of VCF contacts into Outlook 2021. Outlook only allows you to import one VCF file at a time, and I found that after the process I was missing details such as email and images. The most reliable solution I found was using the WholeClear VCF to PST Converter. The expert converter allows you to convert VCF to PST files in bulk. It retains every field for contact data; I didn't lose any data with the WholeClear solution. The software works offline on Windows, works with all versions of Outlook including 2021 and 365, and is extremely user-friendly to use. Developed a free demo version for testing.
