Export contacts on your Mac
If you use Groups, consider archiving your entire Contacts or Address Book database as well as exporting vCards. The vCard method above copies your contacts, but not Groups. Archives are more complex, but you might not be able to restore data using Archives while connected to the Internet and signed in to iCloud.
To export an archive, open Contacts and choose File > Export > Contacts Archive.

I've heard that the archive export function for Contacts doesn't really work well when it comes to restoring contacts. Is there a better way for me to export all of my Contacts, particularly because they are mostly arranged in Groups?
There could be a google account and iCloud account in address book , the contacts are scattered in various groups https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT205754
You can copy and paste the contacts from them to All contacts and All iCloud .
