Free to use, including commercially. No watermark, no sign-up.

This code is static. Here is what that means.

Everything on this page is encoded directly into the pattern, so the code works forever and needs no account. The trade-off is that it cannot change and cannot be counted.

Static code (this tool)

  • Free forever, no account needed
  • Works offline, never expires
  • Destination is fixed once printed
  • No way to count scans

Dynamic code (Qrelux)

  • Change the destination after printing
  • See when, where and how often it is scanned
  • Fix a typo without a reprint
  • Compare which poster or flyer actually works

How to make a contact card (vcard) QR code

  1. 1

    Fill in your details

    Only a first name is required, but a phone and email make the saved contact actually useful.

  2. 2

    Keep it lean

    Every field you add makes the pattern denser. Skip anything that will not be looked up later.

  3. 3

    Scan to check the card

    Confirm the name, number, and company land in the right fields before printing.

  4. 4

    Download for your card

    Use SVG so the code stays sharp at business-card size.

Contact Card (vCard) QR codes: common questions

What is a vCard QR code?

A QR code holding a vCard — the standard contact format phones and address books already understand. Scanning it opens a contact card with your details filled in, ready to save.

Will it work on every phone?

iPhone and Android both handle vCard codes with the built-in camera. Some older scanners show the raw text instead of offering to save it, which is a limitation of the scanner rather than the code.

Why is my contact code so dense?

vCards hold a lot of text, so the pattern is naturally busier than a URL code. Remove the fields you do not need, and print at 2.5cm or larger.

Can I update my details later?

Not on a static code — the details are fixed in the pattern, so new details mean reprinting. If you change roles or numbers often, a dynamic code lets you update the card behind a code that is already printed.
