vCard QR Code Generator
A vCard QR code saves your contact details to a phone in one scan. Fill in your name, phone, email and website below and Qrogo builds a downloadable code in your browser. For a richer card with a photo, social links and a save-to-contacts button, build a hosted digital business card instead.

The short answer
A vCard QR code encodes your contact details as a standard contact file, so one scan opens a save-to-contacts prompt with your name, phone, email, and website already filled in. Qrogo builds it in your browser, free and without an account, and the finished code is static and permanent — nothing routes through a server, so it keeps working indefinitely and is the right choice for printed business cards.
The limitation is that everything lives inside the pattern: more fields mean a denser code, and you cannot change the details after printing. If you want a photo, social links, a company logo, or details you can edit later, build a hosted digital business card instead and point a code at that page — the card stays editable while the printed code never changes. Keep either code at least 2 × 2 cm with a quiet margin so phones lock on reliably.
Two ways to share your contact details
There are two distinct products people mean by "contact QR code", and choosing the right one matters:
- A vCard QR code (this tool) — the contact data is baked into the code. It works offline, never expires, and is perfect for a printed business card, a name badge or an email signature where the details won't change.
- A hosted digital business card — a live page with your photo, tagline, social links and a one-tap "save to contacts". Because the QR points to a page you control, you can update your job title or number later and reprint nothing. Build a digital business card →
Where to use it
- Printed business cards — add the code so contacts save you instantly instead of typing.
- Conference badges and booths — let visitors collect your details hands-free.
- Email signatures and slides — a scannable card at the end of a deck or a webinar.
Keep it scannable
The more fields you add, the denser the QR becomes. For a code that scans reliably at business-card size, stick to name, one phone, one email and a website. If you need more — photo, address, multiple links — use a hosted card so the QR itself stays simple.
Privacy
This generator runs entirely in your browser; your contact details are not sent to a server, and there are no third-party trackers. Add brand colors or a logo in the full generator.
Frequently asked questions
What is a vCard QR code?
It's a QR code that contains a vCard — a standard contact file. Scanning it lets someone save your name, phone, email and website straight into their phone's contacts, no typing required.
What's the difference between a vCard code and a digital business card page?
A vCard QR code encodes the contact data directly, so it works offline and never changes. A hosted digital business card is a web page (with photo, links and a 'save to contacts' button) that you can edit anytime — the same QR keeps working after edits.
Will it work on every phone?
vCard 3.0, which Qrogo uses, has the broadest support across iOS and Android contacts apps. Scanning opens a contact card the user can save with one tap.
How much information should I include?
Keep it to what people need — name, one phone, one email, and a website. Overloading a vCard makes the QR denser and harder to scan at small sizes.
