QR codes for contact cards, email, phone and SMS

Contact card (vCard)

Choose vCard and fill in the details you want to share: First name, Last name, Organisation, Job title, Phone, Email, Website, Address and Note. All fields are optional. When someone scans it, their phone offers to save you as a new contact.

The more details you add, the denser the code becomes. For small print, such as business cards, keep it to the essentials so the code stays easy to scan.

Email

Choose Email and enter the address in To. You can also fill in a Subject and Message. Scanning the code opens the person's email app with everything filled in, ready to send.

Phone

Choose Phone and enter the Phone number, including the country code (for example +1 for the US) if people might scan it from abroad. Spaces, dashes and brackets are removed from the code automatically. Scanning offers to call the number.

SMS

Choose SMS, enter the Phone number and, if you like, a Message. Scanning opens the messaging app with the text ready to send. This is useful for sign-ups, feedback or "text us" signs.

Before you print

Scan the code with a phone to check the details are right. If anything changes later, such as a new phone number, you'll need to create and print a new code. If you saved the code, you can open it, update the details and download it again instead of starting over.
