vCard QR Code Generator
Fill in your contact details and this tool builds a QR code that saves straight into someone's phone contacts when they scan it — no typing, no typos. It's a digital business card that works anywhere you can print or display an image. Add your headshot or company logo to the code with the QR Code Logo Generator for a more memorable networking card, or pair a contact card with a calendar invite for your next meeting using the Event QR Code Generator.

How to Use
- Enter your first and last name — at least one is required before a QR code will appear.
- Add your organization, job title, phone numbers, email, and website if you'd like them included.
- Optionally fill in your address and any notes you want attached to the contact card.
- Watch the QR code build itself in the preview panel as you type.
- Pick a download size and click Download PNG for most uses, or Download SVG if you need a crisp, scalable version for print.
- Test it with your own phone's camera before printing or sharing it widely.
Why a vCard QR Code Beats a Paper Business Card
Goes straight into Contacts
A scan opens the contact directly in the phone's native Contacts app, ready to save with one tap — no separate app or account needed.
No typos from manual entry
Every field is copied exactly as encoded. There's no risk of a misread phone number or a misspelled email address from someone typing your card into their phone by hand.
Easy to update
Changed jobs or phone numbers? Just regenerate the code with the new details and reprint. There's no leftover stack of outdated paper cards to throw away.
Nothing to lose
A paper card can get lost in a stack or a coat pocket. A saved contact stays in someone's phone long after the meeting ends.
Tips for Conferences and Networking
- Print the code large enough to scan easily from arm's length — the Medium or Large download size works well on a standard business card or name badge.
- Download the SVG version if you're sending the code to a print shop, since it stays sharp at any size.
- Keep contrast high: dark code on a light background scans far more reliably than the reverse.
- Consider a durable printed or NFC-enabled card for conference lanyards if you attend events regularly — something like a reusable NFC/QR business card lets you update the linked details without reprinting.
- After a good conversation, follow up with a calendar invite using the Event QR Code Generator to lock in a next meeting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with both iPhone and Android contacts apps?
Yes. This tool encodes a standard vCard 3.0 file, which is supported natively by both the iOS Camera app and Android's built-in QR scanners and Contacts apps.
Can I include a photo in the code?
No — this generator doesn't support embedding a photo; keep the code text-only for reliable scanning. If you want a logo, use the QR Code Logo Generator, which adds a static image over the code itself, not inside the contact data.
What if I have two phone numbers?
Use both the Work and Mobile Phone fields — both will be included as separate numbers on the saved contact.
Is my contact information sent anywhere?
No — everything is generated locally in your browser. Your details never leave your device or touch a server.
Why isn't a QR code appearing?
You need at least a first or last name filled in before a code will generate. Once a name is entered, the preview updates automatically as you type.
Which download size should I use?
Medium is plenty for screens and most printed cards. Choose Large or Extra Large if the code will be printed large, such as on a poster or banner.
