How the calculation works
Enter a name, phone number, email, company, URL and address to make a QR code that saves the contact to a phone just by scanning it (vCard format). Everything stays in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere. The code holds a string in vCard 3.0, the standard electronic business card format: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 FN:Taro Yamada TEL:090-1234-5678 EMAIL:taro@example.com END:VCARD The characters \ ; , and line breaks are written in their escaped forms (such as \;) so they are not mistaken for separators.
Worked example

For a business card, sticking to name, phone and email keeps it easy to scan at small sizes. The standard camera on iPhone and Android offers โAdd to contactsโ when it scans the code.
Things to be aware of
- On a business card, 2 cm square or larger scans reliably.
- The name is saved as the display name (FN). To split it into family and given names, edit the contact after saving.
- Posting personal contact details in public places exposes them to anyone. Consider where you display the code.
