What is a vCard QR code?
vCard is a standard file format for digital contact cards — the same format your phone uses internally when you share a contact. This tool builds a vCard from the details you enter and turns it into a QR code, so scanning it prompts the phone to save a new contact instead of just opening a link.
It works the same way as a QR code that opens a link or connects to WiFi — the difference is just what's encoded. Here, it's your contact details, formatted so any phone's camera app recognizes them.
Tips for a contact card that works every time
- Double-check your phone number and email — this tool doesn't validate them, so a typo will end up in everyone's contacts.
- Keep your name simple — very long names or unusual characters can occasionally cause display quirks in some contacts apps.
- Test it yourself first — scan the generated code with your own phone to confirm it saves the contact correctly.
- Re-generate after a change — the code is static, so update it whenever your number, job, or company changes.
- Add it next to your name — on a badge or card, print it beside your details so people know what it's for.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a vCard QR code?
- It's a QR code that encodes a vCard — a standard digital contact card format. Scanning it lets a phone save your name, phone, email, and other details as a new contact in one step.
- Does it work on both iPhone and Android?
- Yes — vCard is a widely supported standard, and both platforms' camera apps recognize it and offer to save the contact.
- Is my contact information sent to a server?
- No. The code is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your details never leave your device.
- What information do I need to provide?
- Only your name is required. Phone, email, company, job title, and website are all optional — include whatever you want saved.
- Can I add a photo to the contact card?
- Not with this tool — it keeps the vCard small and reliable to scan. You can add a photo manually after the contact is saved.
- Can I update the code later if my details change?
- No — the code is static and encodes whatever you entered when you generated it. If your number or job changes, generate a new code.
- How is this different from a QR code that just contains my phone number?
- A plain phone-number QR code usually just opens the dialer or a "call" prompt. A vCard code saves a full contact — name, phone, email, and more — directly into the person's address book.
