There is a webxdc app that does it: [webxdc apps](https://webxdc.org/apps/#r10s-asc-to-vcard) ([r10s/asc-to-vcard: Create VCards from classic PGP .asc public key files. - Codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/r10s/asc-to-vcard))

It was mentioned above:

There is also a bot that looks up keys on keyserver and WKDs by email address and sends back vCards:

> A Delta Chat bot to import PGP keys from file, WKD, and keys.openpgp.org
