How it works

Your full vCard string (BEGIN:VCARD through END:VCARD) is handed to the qrcode library locally, which picks a symbol version large enough for the contact payload and renders it onto an HTML Canvas. Modern phone cameras detect the vCard preamble and offer to save the contact directly, while the SVG export keeps the symbol crisp on printed materials like name badges or event handouts.

Processing runs in your browser

All QR code generation happens locally in your browser tab. Our servers are not involved at any point.

Frequently asked questions

What is a vCard QR code?

A vCard QR code holds contact details (name, phone, email, address, company) in the standardised vCard text format. When a phone scans the code, it offers to save the contact directly to the address book.

What does a vCard string look like?

A minimal example: BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:3.0\nFN:Jane Doe\nTEL:+1234567890\nEMAIL:jane@example.com\nEND:VCARD. Paste this whole block (with real line breaks) into the text input.

Will phone cameras recognise the vCard format?

Yes. Modern iOS and Android cameras recognise the BEGIN:VCARD header and prompt to save the contact. Older devices may need a dedicated QR scanner app.

Is my contact data uploaded anywhere?

All processing runs in your browser using the qrcode library. Your vCard text is used only to build the QR code locally.
