To manage some contacts on an mobile device I need an editor to create some vCard-files. The current source can export vcf-files in a very uncomfortable way and wrong format, so I have to edit each of them anyway. So I want to write them new, it's faster. But I need a program (gratis) to do this.

You can use Thunderbird with MoreFunctionsForAddressBook addon for this.
Another solution is DoubleContact

you should have been mentioned DoubleContact is Linux-only, and OP deliberately mentioned Windows via tag Commented Jul 20, 2022 at 9:55
I was also struggling with a similar issue (I had problems in name encoding, versioning and some additional attributes) and I finally ended up writing my own tool, that is based on:
- python 3+
- TkInter (aka GUI for python)
- vObject library that can manage contact cards as well as calendar events
With a very little effort (in case you fairly know python language), you can write either a small script (that goes through files in directory and repairs them - or even creates them from a scratch) or you could implement/change a button in my solution. If you would be more specific about the issue it has, maybe we can elaborate more.

No commits for the past year, do you still plan to support it? Is it usable at the moment? Can I ask you to add a screenshot of the interface?– ykoavlilCommented Nov 15 at 18:43

1it should be good for a basic usage. I documented around a bit and improved the code recently. Since it is a public repository, feel free to suggest there any issues you think it may improve that. Commented Dec 4 at 21:07
