VCard QR Generator

This tool encodes contact data into a standard vCard QR code. It accepts common personal and business fields such as full name, structured name components, phone numbers, email addresses, organization, job title, website URL, and street address, then outputs a compact QR image suitable for scanning. Target users include sales teams, event organizers, recruiters, and professionals who share contact details frequently. The output is interoperable with major contact apps and supports UTF-8 to preserve non-Latin characters. It is designed for offline or online workflows, enabling instant reuse in printed cards or digital signatures.
The core workflow builds a vCard 4.0 data block from inputs, escaping reserved characters, and then feeds that block to a QR encoder with a chosen error-correction level. The system auto-selects a suitable QR version to balance data capacity and scan reliability, while warning about potential truncation if fields exceed limits. Outputs include a data URI, a downloadable SVG/PNG, and a ready-to-use embedded 512x512 SVG icon. The encoding preserves field order and ensures compatibility with popular contact managers and mobile platforms. A validation pass checks email syntax and phone format where possible.
Unique value includes explicit support for multiple optional fields (notes, secondary emails or phones, alternate addresses), flexible field mapping, and strict adherence to the vCard specification. It supports international characters and multiple languages via UTF-8, enhancing global networking. The tool is useful for conference booths, sales outreach, and onboarding packets, providing a compact, privacy-conscious method to share contact context. Differentiators include built-in data validation, direct export to image or data URL formats, and a consistent, QR-based encoding that minimizes misreads by scanners.
