vCard QR Code

Scanning adds you to the phone's address book without typing.

How vCard QR Code works

Turn contact details into a scannable vCard QR code. Scanning adds you to the phone's address book without typing. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.

That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.

A contact card in a square

The QR encodes a vCard: name, organisation, phone, email and website. Scanning it offers to add the contact, so a business card becomes one tap instead of manual typing.

Like the Wi-Fi code, it is static text — nothing is hosted, nothing expires, and it works offline.

Keeping it short

Every field adds characters, and a QR with more data becomes denser and harder to scan at small sizes. Name, one phone and one email scan reliably at 3 cm; adding a postal address, two phone numbers and a note pushes the code toward a size that needs a bigger print.

If you need a long record, print the code larger rather than lowering the error correction.

FieldsPractical print size
Name + phone3 cm
+ email + company4 cm
+ address + website5 cm or more

What it cannot do

There is no photo, no logo and no formatting. Editing means regenerating the code and reprinting — a printed vCard QR is frozen at the moment it was made.

Good to know

  • Works offline once loaded, including on flights and in locked-down networks.
  • No file size limit beyond your device's own memory.
  • Free to use, with no account and no usage counter.
  • Results are produced locally, so they are not logged or shared with anyone.

Questions

Does this send anything to a server?

No — it runs entirely in your browser, so whatever you type stays on your device.

Can I use the output commercially?

Yes, output you generate is yours to use without attribution.

Do all phones support vCard QR?

iOS and Android both recognise the format and offer to add the contact.

Can I update it later?

No, unless the code points to a hosted page instead — which is a different tool.
