Build a contact card and turn it into a QR people scan straight into their address book — vCard 3.0 with proper escaping, assembled live.
The card and its QR code are built locally in your browser. Your contact details never leave your device.
Fill in the fields you have — the tool assembles them into a vCard 3.0 document in real time, escapes the characters that would otherwise break the format, and renders the result as a QR code with the open-source qrcode library at error-correction level M. The live preview shows the exact text encoded in the code, so you can verify it before printing a thousand business cards.
N:Last;First;;; plus a combined FN: line; organisation maps to ORG:, job title to TITLE:, phone to TEL;TYPE=CELL:, email to EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET:, the website to URL:, street/city/country to a single structured ADR:;;street;city;;country; line, and the note to NOTE:. Empty fields are omitted entirely, so the payload only carries what you fill in.Yes — since iOS 11 the Camera app recognises the BEGIN:VCARD payload and opens a contact card preview with an "Add Contact" button, no third-party app needed. Android's Google Lens and most scanner apps behave the same way, and the downloaded .vcf file can also be imported manually anywhere.
Yes. The card text is stored as UTF-8 inside the QR code, so José, Zoë, 李雷 and even an emoji in the note all survive the round trip. The tool also applies vCard escaping: backslashes, semicolons and commas in your values are prefixed with a backslash, and line breaks in the note become literal \n sequences that readers expand back.
MeCard is a compact single-line format from Japan (MECARD:N:...;TEL:...;;). It fits fewer fields, has no standard for addresses or job titles, and is read by fewer apps. vCard 3.0 is the format iOS, Android, Outlook and WhatsApp contacts all export and import, which is why this generator uses it.
Anywhere a QR image goes: business cards, email signatures, conference badges, a stand on your desk. Download the PNG and paste it in, or print the ready-made card. The .vcf download is useful for email signatures too — some desktop clients import the file directly without a QR code at all.
No. Your name, phone number and the rest never leave the page: the vCard text is assembled and rendered into the QR code in your browser with the open-source qrcode library. It works with the internet turned off.
If you just finished with vCard QR Code, the natural next steps are QR Code Generator, QR Code Scanner, Base64 Encoder & Decoder, or browse every tool in Privacy File Tools.
