How to create a contact QR code

Enter your first and last name and any details you want to share: company, job title, phone, email and website.
Watch the QR code build in the preview. If you like, change the size, the error correction level or the colors.
Download the QR code as PNG (to print or paste into a document) or as SVG (for design work, scales without losing quality).
Test it with your phone camera before printing: it should offer “Add contact”.

What a contact QR code is and what it is for

A contact QR code holds a vCard, the standard format used by phone contact lists. When scanned with the camera, the phone shows the details and offers to save them as a new contact, so nobody has to type anything.

It is handy on printed business cards, email signatures, posters, trade show stands, social profiles and resumes: people who meet you can take your contact in seconds. This generator builds a vCard 3.0, compatible with iPhone and Android.

Good to know

The more details you add, the denser the QR code gets and the harder it is to read on small paper. For a printed card, use only a few details and a size of at least 2 cm.
The QR code stores the data exactly as you type it: if your phone number or email changes, you need to generate a new one.
Always test the QR code with a phone before printing a large batch. Light colors or low contrast can make it unreadable.
Your details are processed in your browser and are not sent to or stored on any server.
