QR Business Card Generator
Create a digital business card QR code that lets people quickly save your contact details, including name, company, phone, email, website and address.
Contact Identity
Enter the name and professional information that should appear when someone scans your digital business card.
Leave this blank to automatically use your first and last name.
Contact Details
Add at least one phone number, email address or website so the digital contact card is useful.
Include the international country code if the contact may be shared internationally.
HTTPS will be added automatically when required.
Address
Address information is optional. Only include details you are comfortable sharing with anyone who can scan the QR code.
Privacy reminder
Anyone with access to the QR code can read the contact information encoded inside it. Use a business address rather than a private home address where appropriate.
Contact Note
Add a short optional note that will be stored with the contact.
Keep notes concise. Longer contact records create denser QR codes.
QR Code Settings
Customise the QR code while keeping strong contrast for reliable scanning.
Medium is suitable for most contact QR codes.
QR Density
Adding more contact information increases the amount of data encoded and produces a denser QR pattern.
vCard Data
This is the structured contact information encoded inside the QR code and included in the VCF download.

Add a name and at least one contact method to generate your digital business card.
What happens when it is scanned?
Compatible phones can recognise the vCard inside the QR code and may offer to add the details directly to the device's contacts.
QR Business Card vs Normal QR Code
A normal QR code typically contains a website, message or other single destination.
A QR business card contains a structured vCard record with multiple contact details, allowing compatible phones to recognise it as a contact rather than ordinary text.
Best Information to Include
- Your professional name.
- Company and job title.
- Primary business or mobile number.
- Professional email address.
- Business website or portfolio.
- Business address only when appropriate.
Generated Directly in Your Browser
Your contact details are converted into the vCard, QR code and VCF file directly on your device during normal use. No server-side processing queue is required.

Enter your professional contact details and SwiftVecto will create a QR code containing a digital contact card. When scanned with a compatible phone, the person can quickly view or save your contact information.
Overview
The SwiftVecto QR Business Card Generator creates a digital contact card encoded inside a QR code using the widely supported vCard format. Unlike a normal QR code that simply opens a website, a QR business card can contain your name, job title, company, telephone numbers, email address, website, physical address and other professional details. This makes it useful for networking, events, conferences, email signatures, printed materials and modern contact sharing.
