You'll see some stuff which just makes sense as plain text. Images can be embedded inside the file, which is then indeed in base64, but you'll need to find the start and ending of the base64 block and only decode that. Keep in mind that images can also be referred to by URL, in which case you can just download them. I imagine you can easily find the vCard file format on Google.. - Matijn
