What is vCard QR Code Generator?
A vCard QR Code Generator creates a QR code that encodes your contact information in vCard (VCF) or MeCard format. When someone scans the code with their phone camera, they can instantly save your name, phone, email, website, and address to their address book — no typing, no app install. Everything is generated locally in your browser, so your data stays private.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between vCard and MeCard?
vCard (VCF, RFC 6350) is the full contact format with many fields — name, org, title, multiple phones, email, URL, address, note, and more. MeCard is a compact, older format that only encodes name, org, phone, email, URL, and note. vCard is richer and recommended for modern phones; MeCard is useful when you need a smaller QR code for older scanners.
Will the QR code work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Modern iOS and Android camera apps recognize both vCard and MeCard QR codes. When scanned, they prompt the user to add the contact to their address book. vCard 3.0 is the most widely supported rich format.
Do I need to include all fields?
No. Only at least one name or phone field is required to generate a code. You can leave any other field blank and the tool will omit it from the vCard/MeCard payload automatically.
Is my contact data uploaded anywhere?
No. All generation happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your contact details never leave your device, making this safe to use for personal and professional contact sharing.
