Free vCard QR code generator
Fill in a name and whatever else the card should carry — company, title, phone, email, website — and get a QR code that adds the contact in one scan. Custom colors, optional logo, PNG or SVG export. No sign-up, and the code never expires.

The whole trick of a vCard QR code is that there's no app and no middleman: the contact data lives inside the code itself. Scan it with a stock camera app and the phone offers to save the contact — name, company, phone, email — because what's encoded is a small text file in vCard format, the same one your address book has exported since the nineties. This generator writes version 3.0, which is the pragmatic choice: both iOS and Android import it cleanly, while the newer 4.0 still trips readers exactly where a business card meets them.
That self-contained design has a consequence worth understanding before you print five hundred cards: the code is static. Nothing to subscribe to, nothing that expires, no company between your card and the person scanning it — but also nothing to edit later. Change jobs and the printed cards keep announcing the old title. The paid "dynamic QR" services solve that by encoding a redirect URL they host, which is genuinely useful if your details churn — and a subscription with a link that dies when you stop paying, if they don't. For a card with a name and a phone number, static wins, and this page will never send you an upgrade email about it.
One practical printing note. Every field you add makes the payload bigger, and a bigger payload means denser modules at the same print size. A name, phone, and email scan fine from a 2 cm square on a business card; pile in company, title, and a long URL and either the square grows or the scan gets fussy. Keep the card to what a stranger actually needs, and leave error correction at M — the guide to codes that stop scanning covers the rest of the print-quality story.

Open repair toolvCard QR codes — common questions
Asked mostly between the design file and the print shop.
Will iPhone and Android both read it without an app?
Yes — the stock camera apps on both recognize a vCard QR and offer to save the contact. That's the reason this generator writes vCard 3.0 rather than 4.0: the older version is the one every built-in reader imports without dropping fields.Can I change the contact details after printing?
No — the data is inside the code, so a printed code is frozen. That's the trade for having no subscription and no expiry. If your details change often, encode a link to a page you control instead, and accept that scanning then opens a browser rather than the contacts app.Why does my QR code look so dense?
Payload size. A vCard with every field filled runs several hundred characters, and they all become modules. Drop the fields a stranger doesn't need — the fax era is over, the street address rarely earns its modules — or print the code larger. Density is also why the logo option deserves restraint here: it eats error-correction margin the dense code already needs.Is the contact data uploaded anywhere when I generate?
No. The code renders on a canvas in your browser; name, phone, and email never leave your machine. For contact data that's not a nicety — you're literally encoding someone's personal details.
