Fill in a contact detail to generate the QR code
Generate a vCard QR code so anyone can save your contact details by scanning it with their phone camera.

Everything runs in your browser, so your details never leave your device.
What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code stores contact information, such as your name, phone number, email, company, and website, inside a single scannable square using the standard vCard (.vcf) format. When someone points their phone camera at it, the device offers to create a new contact with all the fields already filled in, so they can save you to their address book in one tap instead of typing everything by hand. Both iOS and Android recognise the vCard format natively, so no special app is needed.
How to make a vCard QR code
Fill in the contact details you want to share and the QR code updates live. Empty fields are simply left out. Print it on a business card, add it to an email signature, or save it as a PNG.
- Enter the first and last name, then any of the phone, email, company, title, website, address, or note fields you want to include.
- Watch the QR code update instantly as you type, with empty fields omitted automatically.
- Scan the generated code with your phone camera to test that the contact card looks right.
- Download the PNG to print on a card, badge, or flyer, or to drop into an email signature.
Is generating a vCard QR code safe?
Yes. The QR code is built entirely in your browser, so the contact details you type are never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere. Keep in mind that anyone who can scan the printed or shared code can read the contact information it contains, exactly like handing over a printed business card, so include only the details you are comfortable sharing publicly.

Frequently asked questions
How do people scan the contact QR code?
On most modern phones they just open the camera app and point it at the code. A prompt appears offering to create a new contact with the details pre-filled, and tapping it saves you to their address book. Some older phones need a dedicated QR scanner app.
What contact details can I include?
You can add a first and last name, organization, job title, phone number, email address, website, postal address, and a free-text note. Include as many or as few as you like, empty fields are left out of the QR code automatically.
What format does the QR code use?
It encodes a standard vCard 3.0 payload, the same .vcf contact format used by phones, email clients, and address books. That is why scanning it offers to create a contact instead of just showing text.
Are my contact details sent anywhere?
No. The QR code is generated entirely on your device in the browser, so the information you enter is never transmitted to or stored on any server.
