How to use

- Add the number in the Phone field, ideally in international format such as +1 555 010 1234, if you want it included.
- Fill the Email and, optionally, the Company fields - anything left blank is simply left out of the card.
- Press Calculate / Generate to render the QR code, built from a real vCard 3.0 payload.
- Scan it with a phone and confirm it offers to save the contact with the correct details.
- Place the code on cards, badges, or posters, and regenerate it whenever any detail changes.
About this tool
Builds a real vCard 3.0 payload — scanning saves the contact straight into the phone's address book. Perfect for business cards and event badges.
A QR code that saves a contact beats a typed phone number every time, because it removes the transcription errors. This tool builds a real vCard 3.0 payload: the Full name field is required, while Phone, Email, and Company are included only when you fill them, and blank fields are omitted cleanly. The payload is encoded as a QR code rendered entirely in your browser. When someone scans it with a phone camera, the device recognises the vCard format and offers to save a new contact with those details, no app required.
Keep the code light: fewer fields mean a simpler module grid, which scans faster from a distance and on small print, so leave Company out unless it matters. Always test-scan on both an iPhone and an Android before printing, because the save-contact prompt differs slightly between devices. Know the limits: the tool supports these four fields only, with no address, website, notes, or photo, and a printed QR is static, so a changed phone number means regenerating and reprinting. For details that may change, a link to a webpage is the safer thing to encode.
