Share contact details as a vCard

A vCard QR code stores contact details that a compatible phone can offer to save. PixieQR uses vCard 3.0 with UTF-8 text, without hosting a profile or connecting to an address book.

A name is required. Phone, email, organization and website are optional; empty optional fields are left out. A website must start with http:// or https://.

How to create a contact QR code

Enter the name you want the contact card to show.
Add the phone, email, organization and website you want to share; clear any optional fields you do not need.
Download PNG or SVG, then scan the file on a phone and check the fields before saving the contact.

Add the code to a business card

Use the 512 × 512 PNG in a document or presentation. Choose SVG for a print layout that needs resizing. Keep the light border clear of nearby text and test a printed sample before ordering cards.

If a phone imports different contact fields

Contact apps differ in their support for vCard 3.0 fields. Check the name, phone and email on the devices you expect recipients to use; scanning does not guarantee an identical address-book layout.

If the code becomes too dense, remove optional details you do not need. When contact details change, generate and distribute a new image.

Frequently asked questions

Which vCard version does this generator use?

vCard 3.0 with UTF-8 text. The phone or contact app decides which fields it can import.

Can I leave out my phone number or email?

Yes. Only a name is required. Optional fields that you leave empty are omitted from the vCard.

Do you save my contact details?

No. The details are encoded in your browser and into the file you download. There is no PixieQR address book or hosted profile.

Can an existing printed card update automatically?

No. This is a static contact QR code. Make a new image when its details change.
