Quick Answer

The vCard Generator turns a few fields — name, phone, email, and optionally company and website — into a vCard 3.0 file (.vcf) that imports into most contacts apps. It writes the formatted name, phone and email, adding company and website when you fill them. It updates live as you type and runs entirely in your browser, so your details are never uploaded.

What the vCard Generator Does

It creates a digital business card in the standard vCard format that phones and email clients recognise. You type the fields, then copy the vCard text or download the .vcf file.

It produces a single contact card with the common fields, ready to share or to drop into a QR code.

How It Works

It wraps your fields in the vCard structure — a BEGIN line, a version line, one line per field, then an END line — and updates the preview as you type.

The result is plain text in the .vcf format, which you can copy or download and open in any contacts app.

Generation algorithm

  1. Enter the contact fields. Type the full name, phone and email, and optionally a company and website.
  2. Assemble the vCard. It builds a vCard 3.0 block with the formatted name, phone and email, adding company and website if provided.
  3. Preview live. The vCard text updates on every keystroke so you can check it.
  4. Copy or download. Copy the text or download it as a .vcf file to import into a contacts app.

The vCard it builds

BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 FN: full name TEL: phone EMAIL: email ORG and URL added only when filled · END:VCARD
Worked example
Alex Doe with phone +1 555 0100 and an email → a vCard 3.0 .vcf carrying FN, TEL and EMAIL

It writes vCard 3.0 (RFC 2426). The fields it includes are FN, TEL and EMAIL, plus ORG and URL when you provide them.

Privacy

Your contact details are turned into a vCard entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored or logged.

There is no account or history; closing the tab clears the fields.

Standards & references

  • vCard (.vcf) — the standard electronic business-card format, also called a Virtual Contact File, recognised by phones and email clients.
  • vCard 3.0 (RFC 2426) — the version this tool writes. vCard 4.0 is the newer RFC 6350; the required properties in any vCard are BEGIN, VERSION, FN and END.
  • Field properties — FN is the formatted display name, TEL a phone number, EMAIL an email address, ORG an organisation and URL a website.

Accuracy & Limitations

It writes five fields only: the formatted name (FN), phone (TEL) and email (EMAIL), plus company (ORG) and website (URL) when filled.

It does not add a structured name (N), a postal address (ADR), a photo, or multiple phone or email entries — it is a single, simple contact card.

It uses plain line breaks rather than the spec's CRLF and does not escape commas, semicolons or backslashes in values, so a value containing those characters could confuse a strict reader.

Most contacts apps — on iOS, Android, Google Contacts and Outlook — import the result without trouble.

Real-World Use Cases

An email-signature contact card

Attach a .vcf so recipients can save your details in one tap.

A vCard for a QR code

Paste the vCard text into a QR code so a phone camera can add the contact.

Sharing your details

Send a .vcf instead of typing your number and email into a message.

Seeding a contact for an event

Hand out a ready-made contact card for a booth or meetup.

When to use it — and when not to

Good for

  • A quick single-contact .vcf
  • Email-signature or QR contact cards
  • Sharing basic contact details
  • A standard card most apps import

Not the best choice for

  • A structured name or postal address
  • A photo or company logo
  • Multiple numbers or emails on one card
  • Bulk contact lists

For a contact QR code, paste this vCard into the QR Code Generator. For many contacts at once, export a vCard list from your address book.
