Capabilities

Use Cases

Useful for sales handouts, expo badges, and recruiting events as a digital business card.

How It Works

Builds ordered vCard payloads that are handed off to the native contacts app.

Cautions

Overloaded payloads increase QR density; keep fields practical for reliable scan rates.

Technical and Practical Benefits

vCard 3.0 vs 4.0: Why 3.0?

While vCard 4.0 offers more features, it currently faces compatibility issues with some Android devices and apps. To avoid read errors in business settings, we use the highly stable and widely adopted version 3.0.

Addressing Garbled Text

Modern smartphones standardize on UTF-8. This tool encodes in UTF-8 to prevent garbled text characters, ensuring accurate display even for international contacts.

Technical Specifications

                Format: vCard 3.0 (RFC 2426)
Encoding: UTF-8 (Recommended)
Compatibility: Supports iOS, Android standard cameras, and various QR reader apps.

FAQ

Is my contact info sent to a server?

No. QR creation runs locally in your browser, and your input is not sent externally.

What kind of info can I include?

You can bundle name, phone, email, organization, title, and website URL in one QR code. Keeping it concise improves scan reliability.

Will it save to contacts automatically?

It depends on the device and scanner app. Typically you will see a preview and tap “Add/Save” to confirm.

Does it support non‑English names?

Generally yes, but behavior can vary by scanner and contacts app. Test on the devices you expect people to use.

Which vCard version is used?

We generate vCard 3.0 for broad compatibility.

How should I format phone numbers?

Most devices handle common formats, but using an international format like `+81...` is safest when sharing globally.

What happens if I include too much data?

The QR code becomes denser and harder to scan. For business cards, stick to essentials like name, phone, and email.

Some fields don’t show up after importing

Contacts import behavior varies by app. Try a different scanner app or regenerate with fewer fields for better compatibility.
