What this tool does

This tool makes a compact QR code that saves your contact details to a phone on scan. It is a lighter alternative to a full digital business card: the essentials, name, phone, email, in a smaller, simpler code. Fill in your details, set the size and colours, and download a PNG or SVG.

How to use it

  1. Fill in your details, name, phone, email, and the rest. There is also a "reading" field for a phonetic spelling of your name, which you can leave blank.
  2. Set the size, colours, and error correction level if you want.
  3. Create the code and download it as PNG or SVG.

How it works

The tool packs your details into a MeCard, a compact contact format, and encodes it into the QR pattern in your browser. When someone scans it, their phone offers to save the details as a new contact. Because the format is lean, the resulting code carries less data than a full vCard. It is static and self-contained, with nothing uploaded.

How MeCard differs from vCard

MeCard and vCard do the same job, save a contact from a scan, but they come at it differently, and it is worth knowing which suits you. MeCard is a compact format, born on early Japanese mobile phones, that keeps to the core fields. Carrying less data means the code is simpler and a little easier to scan, which can be an advantage with older or more basic scanners. The trade-off is fewer fields and less detail than the richer vCard standard.

One field you will notice here is "reading", a spot for the phonetic pronunciation of a name, which is a holdover from MeCard's origins where that mattered for sorting names. Feel free to leave it empty. As for which to choose: a vCard is the fuller, universally supported standard and the safer default for a complete digital business card, so the vCard QR Code Generator is the one to reach for most of the time. MeCard makes sense when you specifically want the leanest, simplest code and only need the essentials. For single pieces of contact info, the Phone and Email generators make a code for just a number or address.

Questions people ask

What is a MeCard?

A compact contact-card format that stores the core details, name, phone, email, in a lean form. It originated on early mobile phones and produces a simpler code than a full vCard.

What is the "reading" field?

A place for the phonetic pronunciation of a name, a feature carried over from MeCard's origins. It is optional, so you can leave it blank if you do not need it.

Should I use MeCard or vCard?

vCard is the richer, universally supported standard and the better default for a full contact card. Choose MeCard when you want the simplest, most compact code and only need the essential fields.

Is my information uploaded?

No. The code is generated entirely in your browser, so your details stay on your device.
