About this tool
This encodes your details as a vCard inside a QR code, so when someone points their phone camera at it, the phone offers to add you to contacts directly: no app, no typing. It also gives you a downloadable .vcf file to attach or import anywhere. Unlike a link-based card, a vCard QR works entirely offline and reveals exactly the fields you enter. For a live, verified, always-current card (with scan-to-connect and privacy-gated contact details) add your cxo.me handle, or claim one free, this tool then links to it too. Everything is generated locally in your browser; your details are never sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
How does scanning save the contact?
The QR contains a standard vCard. iOS and Android camera apps recognise it and prompt “Add to Contacts” with the fields pre-filled. No app is required.
vCard QR vs a link to my cxo.me card, which should I use?
A vCard QR is a fixed, offline snapshot, great for print. A cxo.me link is live: you can update it anytime, it shows a verified badge, gates your email/phone behind a connection, and supports scan-to-connect. Use both, this tool can encode either.
Is my information uploaded?
No. The QR and vCard are built entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored on a server.
