vCard QR Code Generator
For business cards, conference badges, or anywhere you want people to grab your details quickly.
Fill in a name, phone number, email, and organization, and get a QR code that modern phones can turn into a contact card when scanned.
First or last name is required. All other fields are optional.
QR Code
Higher levels increase reliability but make the code denser.
Appearance
Number of empty modules around the code.
Ensure sufficient contrast between colors for reliable scanning.

Open QR Maker emits vCard 3.0. vCard 4.0 is the newer RFC, but 3.0 remains the conservative compatibility baseline for QR scanning and contact-import flows, which matters more than feature count in a printed code.
Only the fields you fill in are written to the code. Leaving organization blank keeps the QR code smaller and denser-resistant: the longer the payload, the more modules the code needs and the harder it becomes to scan from a distance. For a card you intend to print at business-card size, keep the total content under about 200 characters and stick to error correction level M or Q.
Photos, custom labels, multiple addresses, and other vCard niceties are deliberately left out to keep codes scannable at small sizes.
Frequently asked
- Will this work with the iPhone Contacts app?
- On current iPhones, usually yes. The camera/QR flow can hand a vCard payload to Contacts and offer an add-contact action. As with any printed contact card, test the final code on the devices you expect people to use before a large print run.
- Why vCard 3.0 instead of 4.0?
- Because compatibility beats newer syntax in QR codes. vCard 4.0 exists, but 3.0 is still the safer baseline when the goal is "scan this printed code and get a contact card" across a wide mix of phones.
- Can I include a photo?
- Not in this tool. Embedding a photo bloats the QR code dramatically, easily past the size where it stops scanning reliably from a printed card. If you need a photo, use a URL QR code that links to a contact landing page instead.
- How small can I print the card?
- Anything down to about ¾ in (2 cm) square scans fine on a modern phone if the contrast is high. Below that, the per-module pixels get too small for camera autofocus. When in doubt, test before you print 500 of them.
