Make a contact card QR code
One scan and your details are in their phone, spelled correctly.
Handing over a business card and hoping it gets typed in is optimistic. A vCard QR code holds your name, title, company, phone, email and website in the format every phone recognises, so a scan opens the new contact screen with everything filled in. It is the single most useful thing to put on the back of a printed card, an email signature or a conference badge.
How to make a contact QR code
- 1
Choose the contact card type
Fill in name, organisation, title, phone, email and website. Leave out anything you would rather not hand to a stranger.
- 2
Keep it readable
A contact card holds a lot of text, so the code is denser than a link. Keep good contrast and do not print it tiny.

Download it
SVG or PDF for printing on a card, PNG for an email signature or a slide.
Why static beats a contact page
Services that host your details behind a short link can change their pricing, go away, or count every scan. A static vCard code has your details inside it and keeps working long after the company that sold you a subscription has closed.
Making the card as well?
The business card maker gives you a print-ready card with room for this code on the back.
Frequently asked questions
Which details should I include?+
Whatever you would print on a business card. Every extra field makes the code denser and harder to scan at small sizes, so leave out the fax number.
Does it work on both phones?+
Yes. The vCard format is read by the camera app on iPhone and Android, and the phone offers to create the contact.
Can I put it on my business card?+
That is the main use. The business card maker on this site leaves room for one on the back, and the card is designed at print resolution.
Are my details uploaded?+
No. Your name, number and email are encoded in your browser and never sent to a server.
