What is vCard Creator?

vCard Creator generates standard .vcf contact files that can be shared via email, messaging, or QR code. Fill in your contact details once and create a portable digital business card compatible with all phone and email apps.

Output follows vCard 3.0 (RFC 2426) which is the version iPhone Contacts, Android Contacts, Outlook, and Gmail import without complaint. The .vcf file is plain text using BEGIN:VCARD / END:VCARD blocks, so a single file can ship inside an email signature, a QR code, or a NFC tag — and most contact apps deduplicate against existing entries on import.

How to use

1. Step 1 — Enter your contact details: name, phone, email, company, title, and address.
2. Step 2 — Preview the vCard to verify all information is correct.
3. Step 3 — Download the .vcf file or copy the vCard data to share digitally.

When to use

• Sharing your contact card after a meeting without dictating phone digits.
• Putting a scannable contact card in an email signature or conference badge.
• Adding a downloadable team-member contact to your About page.

Result

A sales rep creates a vCard with name 'Jane Smith', title 'Account Manager', company 'Acme Corp', phone '+1-555-0123', and email 'jane@acme.com' — downloads the .vcf to attach to their email signature.

FAQ

What's the difference between vCard 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0?

vCard 3.0 is the most widely supported across iOS, Android, Outlook, Gmail and CRMs. 4.0 adds features like multiple types per field but breaks on older systems. 2.1 is legacy. This tool outputs 3.0 so the file imports cleanly almost everywhere.

Can I get a scannable QR code for the vCard?

Yes — once you fill in any field, a QR code appears below the form and you can download it as PNG or SVG. Phones recognise the BEGIN:VCARD payload and offer to save the contact directly. Keep the data short (name, phone, email, one URL) so the QR stays readable from a distance.

Will accented or non-Latin characters in names import correctly?

Yes — the file is saved as UTF-8 and vCard 3.0 allows full Unicode in any field. Contacts apps on iOS and Android read CJK, Cyrillic, Arabic and accented names without configuration. Some very old desktop apps may need explicit UTF-8 encoding.

How do I share a vCard so the recipient can save it in one tap?

Attach the .vcf file to an email or message — mobile clients show a Save Contact button when they detect the MIME type. AirDrop on iPhone and Nearby Share on Android also accept .vcf files directly and trigger the same confirmation prompt.

Does the file include a photo or a company logo?

Yes — add a photo and it is embedded straight into the .vcf as a square JPEG, so contacts apps show it on the caller-ID and detail screens. The picture is resized on your device to keep the file small. The QR code stays photo-free on purpose, since an embedded image is far too large to fit in a scannable code.
