VCard Generator FAQ
What is a VCard Generator?
A VCard Generator is a tool that creates digital contact files in the VCF (Virtual Contact File) format. These files contain contact information including names, phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses that can be easily shared and imported into contact management applications.
What can I do with a VCard file?
VCard files (.vcf) can be imported into virtually any contact management system, including smartphone contacts, email clients like Outlook or Gmail, and CRM systems. They allow you to share contact information without manual data entry, reducing errors and saving time.
How does the QR code option work?
When you generate a QR code for your contact, all the information is encoded within the QR pattern. Anyone with a smartphone can scan this code with their camera app, which will recognize the contact information and offer to add it directly to their contacts. It's a contactless way to share your details.
Is my contact information stored on your servers?
No. Your contact information is only used to generate the VCard file or QR code. Once generated, the file is immediately downloaded to your device and any temporary files created during processing are automatically deleted. We do not store, log, or retain any of your contact information.
Which fields should I include in my VCard?
For professional use, include your full name, job title, organization, work email, work phone, and website. For personal use, you might prefer your personal email and mobile number. The more information you include, the more useful the VCard, but only the name fields are required.
Can I include multiple phone numbers or emails?
Yes, you can add multiple phone numbers (mobile, work, home) and email addresses (work, personal) to your VCard. Use the "Add another" buttons to include as many as needed, and label each one appropriately for better organization in contact lists.

VCard Technical Information
VCard Format
VCards typically use the vCard 3.0 standard (RFC 2426), which is widely supported across devices and platforms. Files use the .vcf extension (Virtual Contact File) and are plain text with specific formatting.
QR Code Information
QR codes generated for contacts follow the vCard standard and are optimized for mobile scanning. They use a high error correction level to ensure reliable scanning even if the code is partially obscured or damaged.
Compatibility
VCards generated by our tool are compatible with major contact management systems including Apple Contacts, Google Contacts, Microsoft Outlook, and most smartphone contact apps. QR codes can be scanned by built-in camera apps on modern smartphones.
Character Encoding
VCards are generated with UTF-8 encoding to support international characters and ensure proper display of non-Latin alphabets and special characters across different devices and applications.
Privacy Note:
All processing happens in your browser or on our server temporarily. No contact information is stored, logged, or used for any purpose other than generating your requested VCard or QR code. We prioritize your privacy and data security.
