So I have a newly obtained dna file which seems to be too large to upload to gedmatch for example. It is in Vcard format. Any idea what to do with that?

i had to google vcard, it seems it's the same as VCF.
you can convert it to a normal text file with dnakitstudio.

How would you do that? does it require the pro version of the program ?

Ironically, I've been trying to upload a couple of academic samples from Moldova and I've been getting the reverse error "too small". They are 6MB files.

Try to convert in DnaKitStudio to 23&me or Ancestry format.

But I have a 23andme raw data already. It would not make sense to have another one lol

They are already converted to 23andme v3. It's not a big deal, as I have them on Admixture Studio. I was simply wondering if there would be any differences.
