- Is the Contact QR generator free?
- Yes. You can create and download QR codes with no account and no per-export fee for standard use.
- Does my data get uploaded?
- No. Payload text is encoded locally in your browser. We do not receive the contents of your QR codes.
- Do these QR codes expire or need a subscription?
- No. Every code here is static: the data is encoded directly into the pattern, so it keeps working forever with no redirect service behind it. The trade-off is that you cannot edit the destination later or see scan statistics — regenerate the code if the details change.
- Can I print the QR code?
- Yes. Download the PNG and print at a size large enough for scanners to read comfortably — typically at least 2–3 cm on each side for simple payloads. The exported PNG is 280 pixels square, which is fine for small labels and on-screen use; scale it up in your design tool for posters and keep the light margin around the code intact.
- Which vCard version does it produce?
- vCard 3.0, the version with the widest support across iOS, Android, and desktop address books. Scanning offers to create a new contact with the fields you filled in.
- Which fields are required?
- Only the full name. Organisation, phone, email, website, and address are optional and are simply left out of the vCard if you leave them blank.
- Why does my contact QR look so dense?
- Every extra field adds characters to the payload, and a long address is usually the culprit. Trim to the details that matter, print the code larger, or link to a contact page with a Website QR instead.
- Can I update my details later?
- Not in an already-printed code — the vCard is encoded in the pattern. Generate a fresh code when your number or job title changes, or point a Website QR at a contact page you can edit.
