Can the contact be saved without an internet connection?

The QR carries its contact data directly, so a compatible reader does not need to fetch a remote contact page to read it. Calling, emailing or opening the saved website are separate actions and may need their usual network connection.

Does scanning immediately add a contact?

The scanner and contacts app control the import flow. A typical flow shows the details and asks the person to confirm saving. This generator does not have access to the recipient’s address book and cannot force a contact to be added.

Can I add a headshot or logo inside this code?

This version keeps the contact text compact and exports an unobstructed pattern. It does not embed a photo in the vCard or cover modules with a logo. Add branding beside the QR in your card layout and leave its margin clear.

vCard QR code generator

Let someone save your contact details without typing each field. Add a name or organization, phone numbers, email and website, then download a QR image or a .vcf contact file. The code contains the contact itself, so choose which details you want every scanner to receive.

First name

Last name

Organization

Job title

Mobile phone

Work phone

Email

Website

Address and note — optional

Street

City

State or region

Postal code

Country

Contact note

The contact details are stored inside the code. Include only information you want to give to anyone who can scan it.

Code color

Background color

High contrast helps a phone camera read the code. Keep the surrounding margin clear.

PNG size

QR preview

Add your details to preview the QR code.

The PNG and SVG downloads become available when your code is ready.

Scan the saved file with another device before you print a batch. There is no redirect service or scan limit in this code.

Encoded contact

How to use it

Start with a person’s name or an organization name. Add the contact methods the recipient will actually use, including a country code for phone numbers shared internationally.
Enter an email address and a complete website destination. Open the optional section only if a mailing address or short note will be useful to this audience.
Check the encoded contact preview for spelling, numbers and field placement. The tool highlights invalid email and website values before creating the final contact.
Download PNG or SVG for a card design, or choose Download contact to get the same information as a .vcf file. Keep the source details with the final artwork for future revisions.
Scan the image on a phone and review the proposed contact. Save a test copy, inspect its fields and verify a call, email or website action before printing or distributing it.

Share a contact, not a landing page

A vCard is a structured contact record. This tool writes a vCard 3.0 payload with separate fields for names, organization, title, telephone numbers, email, website, postal address and a note. A compatible scanner can offer to add those details to a contacts app. It does not need a profile website to reconstruct the information, because the encoded text is already present in the image.

That direct approach has a clear tradeoff: the printed pattern is a snapshot. Editing this form later does not update a code you already handed out. Use details that are suitable for the intended life of the card, and regenerate the image after a number, email address or role changes. If you need an editable online introduction with several destinations, a webpage QR is a different kind of result.

Include less, make it easier to use

Start with the fields that make the next conversation possible. For a freelancer that may be a name, work email and portfolio. For a reception desk it may be the organization name, office number and address. A private home address or personal mobile number is not required just because the form has space for it. Anyone who obtains the image can read the data it contains.

More text produces a denser pattern. Long notes and several address lines can make a small business-card code harder to scan, even when the information fits technically. Remove details the recipient will not need and use a website field for a fuller introduction. If the tool reports that the data is too long, the .vcf download can still carry a valid contact while you shorten the QR version.

Check how the phone stores the fields

Different scanners and contacts apps may present imported information differently. A mobile number can appear under a labeled phone field, while a work number appears separately. Company-only contacts may be sorted or displayed according to the app’s preferences. Test the type of contact you actually plan to share instead of assuming a successful scan guarantees the most useful address-book layout.

Pay attention to accents, non-Latin names, punctuation and international numbers during that test. The generator encodes text as UTF-8, escapes separators inside text fields and folds long vCard lines. Those steps make the record structured, but they do not verify whether a telephone number reaches the right person. Review the imported card and try its actions with permission before handing the design to a printer.

Choose the file for the job

PNG and SVG are images of the QR code. A .vcf file is the contact record itself and can be opened or imported by compatible address-book software without scanning an image. Send the file when the recipient is already working digitally; use a QR when someone is moving from a physical object to their phone. The visible preview below the tool lets you inspect the same record before either kind of export.
