Contact card (vCard) QR code generator

Fill in your details and download a code for your business card, badge or email signature. When someone scans it, their phone offers to save you as a contact. The code is made in your browser and we don't store your details.

Make a contact card QR code

Include the country code, e.g. +1 555 123 4567.

Fill in at least a name, phone, email or company. Fewer fields make a code that is easier to scan.

Style

Enter a name, phone number, email or company.

Static code: the content is inside the image, so it does not expire and we never see its scans.

Keep it short

Every field you add makes the pattern denser and harder to scan when it is printed small. Name, phone, email and website are usually enough. On a business card, print the code at least 2 cm (about 3/4 inch) wide.

Write the phone number with its country code (for example +1 or +44) so it works for people in other countries.

What the code contains

The code holds a small text card: your name, then each field you filled in, one per line. Commas, semicolons and line breaks in your text are escaped so they can't break the card. Empty fields are left out.

Because the details are inside the code, it keeps working with no account and no service behind it. The trade-off: if your details change, you need a new code, and scans of a contact code can't be counted.

Questions

What's a vCard?

The standard contact-card format that phones and email apps understand. This tool writes vCard 3.0.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The built-in camera on most current phones offers to add the contact when it scans the code.

Can I update my details later?

Not in this code, because the details are inside it. Make a new code, or point a saved Pro code at a web page with your details that you can edit.

Why is my code hard to scan?

It holds too much text. Remove optional fields, or print it larger.
