Business Card QR Code
Fill in the contact details you would print on a card.
Everything runs in this browser. Text, files and the finished image are not sent to a server.
A Dynamic URL code stores the destination on our servers so you can change it later. The printed symbol points at a short address on this site. This redirect is free and best-effort — not a paid, guaranteed service.
This business-card code uses the same vCard format as our <a href="/qr/vcard">vCard tool</a>.vCard tool.
EPS is a classic vector of square modules in a single colour. It does not include a centre mark, a gradient, or shaped modules, because those do not travel reliably in EPS. PDF embeds the current preview as a page-sized image, so colours, shapes and a centre mark are kept. Decorative frames and the caption are included in PNG, SVG and PDF only; EPS stays a plain, unframed code.
How to use it
- 1
Enter at least a name, and any phone, email or website you want on the card.
- 2
Check the preview, download a PNG or SVG, and scan it with a phone before you print a batch of cards or badges.
- 3
If you would rather start from the vCard-named tool, open the vCard page — it is the same engine.
What it does
Fill in the contact details you would print on a card. They are written into a vCard 3.0 payload inside a static QR symbol. This is the same engine as the vCard tool; this page exists so people looking for a business-card code can find it.
The fields are encoded as a vCard 3.0 record, including a formatted name, and any organisation, title, phone, email, website or address you provide. Punctuation is escaped for vCard. The optional label fields that some other tools add for on-page display only are not used here: everything you type into the contact fields goes into the card.
Why it works this way
Most phones will offer to save a vCard in the address book. A few older cameras may not understand it; in that case the vCard or MeCard tools explain the formats in more detail.
Because this page and the vCard page share the same generator, a code you make here is interchangeable with one from /qr/vcard.
The details sit in the symbol, so the card still works if this website later goes offline. If a number changes, you need a new code, or a landing page you control.

Frequently asked questions
Is this different from the vCard tool?
Only the name of the page, the help text, and the search wording. The contact format and the generator are the same. You can use either page.
Can I put a LinkedIn profile on the card as well?
Yes — use the website field for a LinkedIn URL, or print a separate LinkedIn code beside it.
Will you store my contact details?
No. Everything is encoded in your browser.
Do you store what I type on this page?
No. For a static code, encoding happens in your browser. We do not upload or keep the payload.
Will the printed code still work if this site is offline?
Yes for a static code: the content is in the image. A Dynamic URL code is different — a scan needs this site to redirect, and we do not guarantee that it will stay online.
