How to create a Contact code

Create a contact card that people can save to their address book after scanning.

1. Enter a first name, a last name, or both.
2. Add any phone, email, website, organisation or address details you want to share.
3. Generate the code and check its contents.
4. Download and test saving the contact on your intended devices.

What to enter

First name

Enter at least one name. First and last names can each contain up to 100 characters.

Contact telephone

Choose the country and enter the number, or paste a full number starting with +. Spaces, brackets and dashes are accepted; extensions are not supported.

Contact email

Enter one email address, such as hello@example.com. Addresses with accented or non-Latin characters and display names are not supported.

Website

Use a complete address beginning with http:// or https://.

Street

You can use several lines for the street address. Enter each other address field on one line.

Scanning your code

The code uses a vCard 3.0 contact card. Camera and contacts apps may handle fields differently, so check the saved contact before sharing widely.

Sharing and privacy

Your entries stay in your browser while you create the code. Anyone who receives the finished code can read the contact details.
