Make a contact QR code

Free, no sign-up. Your links and images never leave this device.

Paste a link, phone number or email

A shorter link means fewer squares, so the code scans better when printed small. Short links are made by is.gd: only this link is sent there, and it can't be deleted later.

Other QR codes:

People scan the code and your name, phone number and email are saved to their contacts, with no typing.

How to make your QR code

Enter your name, phone number and email. Company and website are optional.
Press “Save image”. Use “SVG for print” for print shops.
Want a different look? Open “Customize” to change the style and colors.

Tips

Fill in only what you need. Fewer details make a simpler code that scans better when small.
On a business card, print it at least 2.5 cm wide.
Scan it with your own phone before printing many.
Your details are turned into a QR code inside your browser and are not sent anywhere.

Tips for printing

Print it at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide. A good rule: the scanning distance is about 10 times the code's width.
Keep dark modules on a light background. Light-on-dark codes fail on many phones.
Long links make dense codes. “Make it shorter” turns them into a short link with fewer squares, which scans more easily when printed small.
Scan it with your own phone before you print many copies.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no paid plan. The site runs on ads and support.

Does the QR code expire?

No. The link is stored in the code itself, so it works as long as the link works. Short links from is.gd are permanent too.

Is my link sent anywhere?

No. The QR code is made in your browser. Only when you press “Make it shorter” is the link sent to is.gd.

Can I use my own logo?

Yes. Choose “My image…” in Center icon. The image stays on your device.

Can I use it commercially?

Yes, the QR codes you make are yours. Brand logos remain trademarks of their owners; use them only to point to your own accounts.
