◈ ONE SCAN, EVERY WAY TO REACH YOU

A vCard drops your number and email into someone's phone — but it can't show you're online or let them message you right now. Pair it with a free Knocket contact page: put your page URL in the website field, and one scan opens live chat, WhatsApp, and a booking button too. Grab your free page →

Why use a vCard QR code

A vCard (.vcf) is the standard digital business card that every phone understands. Wrap it in a QR code and swapping details becomes instant: no typing a number wrong, no "text me so I have your number", no paper card that ends up in a drawer. One scan and you're saved correctly, first time.

No typos — your name, number, and email land in their contacts exactly as you wrote them.
Faster than paper: scan, tap "add contact", done — even across a table or a screen.
Works offline — the details are encoded in the code itself, no app or internet needed to save them.
Print it on a badge, card, or phone case, or show it on your screen at an event.

How to make a vCard QR code

Fill in your details — at least a name or a phone number; the rest is optional.
Watch the QR code update live as you type.
Download the PNG to print, or the .vcf file to share directly.
Test it by scanning with your own phone camera before you print.

◈ THE FORMAT

The code encodes a vCard 3.0 — the format built into iPhone and Android contacts. Phone cameras recognize it automatically and offer "Add to Contacts", no special app required. Everything is generated in your browser, so your details are never uploaded anywhere.

Where a vCard QR code shines

What a vCard QR code can't do

A vCard QR code is great for the one thing it does — saving your details. But be clear about its limits:

It's static: once printed, the details can't change. If your number changes, the old code is wrong forever.
It only saves contact info — it can't show you're available or let someone message you right now.
Very long details (many fields, long URLs) make a dense code that's harder to scan when printed small.
It doesn't tell you who scanned it — there's no analytics on a plain vCard code.

If you want a card that can change and lets people actually reach you, put a free Knocket page URL in the website field — update it any time, and turn a saved contact into a live conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Is this vCard QR generator free?

Yes — completely free, no login, no limits. Your details are turned into a vCard and QR code entirely in your browser and are never sent to or stored on any server.

How do people scan it?

On most modern phones, just open the camera and point it at the code — a banner appears offering to add the contact. No special QR app is needed on recent iPhones or Android phones.

What is a vCard (.vcf) file?

A vCard is the universal digital business-card format (file extension .vcf). Both iPhone and Android read it natively, so importing a contact from one is one tap.

Can I edit the details later?

You can regenerate a new code any time here, but a code that's already printed is fixed — its data is baked in. If your details change often, encode a Knocket page URL instead and edit the page.

Is my information private?

Yes. Everything happens locally in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded, logged, or shared. Close the tab and it's gone.

Why won't my vCard code scan?

Usually it's too much data printed too small. Keep fields concise, print the code large enough with a clear margin, and test with a couple of phones before printing in bulk.
