    We'll need more than "doesn't work" to be of help.

     

    How are you trying? Is there an error message?

    At one time there was a problem with export where it took multiple clicks in order for the export to happen. I haven't seen that lately but it may still be going on.

    Go to iCloud.com, open the Contacts app there, click the gear-shaped icon at lower left, click Select All, click the gear icon again, click Export vCard and then repeat the following several times: click the gear icon again, click Export vCard

     

    Depending on your browser and its settings, you may not see the download happening. Search for a file with the extension "vcf"

    This issue is definitely still happening. But the solution above does work. I had to use resort to using IE 11 to make it work. You will definitely need to click Export to vCard multiple times. Sometimes it worked on 3 clicks, other times it took 5.
