About this tool

Fill in your details: first and last name, company, phone, email and website. The tool builds a vCard QR code that adds you to someone's phone contacts in one scan, and the matching .vcf file to attach to an email or import into Gmail or Outlook. The QR code and the file come from the same vCard data.

When to use it

Printed business cards

Put the code on the back of your cards so people save your number without retyping it. The SVG stays crisp at any size.

Trade shows, conferences and meetings

Show the code on your phone, a badge or a roll-up banner and every visitor walks away with your exact details.

Email signatures and .vcf downloads

Attach the .vcf file to your emails or offer it on your website: it opens in Gmail, Outlook, iPhone and Android contacts.

How to use

  1. Enter your first and last name, then the details you want to share.
  2. Scan the QR code with your phone to check it.
  3. Download the QR code as SVG for print or PNG for screens.
  4. Download the .vcf file too if you want to send it by email.

How it works

The QR code contains a vCard 3.0 card, the standard address book format: N and FN for the name, ORG for the company, then TEL, EMAIL and URL. Commas, semicolons and line breaks are escaped as the standard requires.

The .vcf file holds exactly the same card, with the line endings the standard expects. Everything is generated in your browser, so your details are never sent anywhere.

Tips for best results

  • Write your phone number in international format (+ and country code) so it works from abroad.
  • Fewer fields mean a simpler code that scans faster: keep only what matters.
  • Print the code at least 2 cm (about 0.8 in) wide, black on white.
  • Test a printed card with two different phones before a big print run.
  • Update the code and the file as soon as your number or email changes.

Common problems and fixes

The phone shows text instead of a contact

Some older scanner apps don't recognize vCards. The iPhone camera and Google Lens open them straight in Contacts.

Accented characters look wrong after importing the .vcf

The file is UTF-8. In older Outlook versions, import it through the address book rather than opening the file directly.

The QR code looks too dense

Drop an optional field or lower the error correction, and print it larger.

Frequently asked questions

Are my details sent or stored?

No. The QR code and the .vcf file are created in your browser and nothing is transmitted.

What's the difference between the QR code and the .vcf file?

They're the same vCard. The QR code is for scanning, the file is for sending or importing.

Does the QR code work offline?

Yes. It contains your details directly, with no link to an online page.

Can I add a logo in the middle?

Yes. Error correction then goes to maximum, so test the code before you print it.
