What happens when someone scans the code?

Their phone reads the embedded vCard and offers to add you as a new contact with every field you entered already filled in — no typing and no app required.

A vCard is the standard contact-file format (.vcf). This tool builds a vCard 3.0 record with your name, organisation, title, phone, email, website and address, then encodes it into the QR code.

Should I download SVG or PNG?

Use SVG for printing on a business card or poster because it stays crisp at any size. Use PNG for digital uses such as email signatures or slides.

Why are special characters like commas handled specially?

The vCard format treats commas, semicolons, backslashes and newlines as separators, so the tool escapes them automatically. That keeps a comma in your address or job title from breaking the contact card.

Does the QR code stop working if I change job?

The details are encoded directly into the code, so an old card keeps the old details. Generate a fresh code whenever your contact information changes.

Which fields are required?

At least a first name, last name or company is needed to build a card. Phone, email, website and address are optional and only added if you fill them in.

Is my contact information sent anywhere?

No. The vCard is assembled and the QR code rendered entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

Business Card QR Code Generator

A business card people can scan into their phone

This generator turns your contact details into a vCard QR code — the same format phones recognise as a contact. One scan offers to save your name, company, title, phone, email, website and address straight into the address book, with no typing.

How it works

As you type, the tool assembles a vCard 3.0 text record. It always includes the structured name (N) and formatted name (FN), and adds ORG, TITLE, TEL, EMAIL, URL and ADR lines for any fields you fill in. Special characters (commas, semicolons, backslashes, newlines) are escaped so the card parses correctly. That vCard text is then rendered live into a QR code you can download as SVG or PNG.

Example

Entering name Ada Lovelace, company Analytical Engines, title Founder produces a vCard like:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Lovelace;Ada;;;
FN:Ada Lovelace
ORG:Analytical Engines
TITLE:Founder
END:VCARD

Field	vCard line
Phone	`TEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:`
Email	`EMAIL;TYPE=WORK:`
Website	`URL:`
Address	`ADR;TYPE=WORK:`

Print the SVG on your physical card or add it to an email signature. Everything is built locally in your browser, so your details are never uploaded.
