vCard QR code generator for business cards
A business card QR code that saves your contact in one tap. Fill in your details and the code appears: PNG or SVG for the card, a .vcf for your email signature. Drawn in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Type a name and the code appears here.
The vCard and the code are built in your browser. Nothing you type here is uploaded.
How this generator works, and why it is safe to use
- Fill the fields and the tool writes a vCard 3.0, the format iPhone and Android contact apps both accept. The code encodes that text directly; there is no shortened link of ours in between.
- Every field except the name is optional. Each one you skip makes the code simpler and easier to scan on a small card, and the counter shows the size as you type.
- Three downloads: PNG for a print shop or a slide, SVG for a designer laying out the card, and .vcf if you also want to attach the contact to an email.
- The whole thing runs in your browser. What you type never leaves the page, which is the only acceptable answer for a tool you are handing your phone number to.
The card gets you into their contacts; the website is where they check who you are before they call. Dropping a contact block, opening hours and a map onto a page takes about a minute, and you can do it right now without deciding anything — the editor runs in this browser on a working site, with no account and nothing kept. Building and previewing are free; a plan is only needed the day you publish.
Open the editor and drop a block on a pageCommon questions
What happens when someone scans a vCard QR code?
The phone’s camera reads the contact data inside the pattern and offers to save it. Name, company, phone, email, website and address land in the right fields of a new contact. There is no app to install, and it works with no signal, because nothing is downloaded.
Why a vCard instead of a link to my website?
A link needs a page to host and a connection to open. A vCard code carries the contact itself, so it works in a basement or on a plane, and nothing of ours sits in the middle. The trade-off: the details are printed into the pattern. If your number changes, old cards keep the old number. A link can point at a page you update; a vCard cannot.
How big should I print it?
A vCard holds far more than a link, so the code has many more modules. Print it at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide with a white margin around it, and go larger on a sign. Scan a test print with your own phone before ordering 500 cards. The SVG stays sharp at any size.
Does it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. The Camera app on iOS 11 and later reads QR codes directly, and so does Android 10 and later (older Android usually goes through Google Lens). Both recognize the vCard format and open a save-contact sheet. A few older or third-party scanner apps show the raw text instead; the fields are still readable.
