MeCard QR Code Generator | Compact Contact Card

A MeCard QR code packs the same essential contact details as a vCard but with shorter field syntax, giving a more compact QR pattern for the same information — a format originally developed by Japanese phone makers.

What is this QR code?

A MeCard QR code encodes contact data (name, phone, email, address) using the MeCard format, a lighter, less verbose alternative to the international vCard standard.

Best use cases

  • ✓A minimalist business card where QR pattern compactness matters on a small physical surface.
  • ✓A conference badge contact for scanners with limited vCard support.
  • ✓A simple contact exchange at an event without needing extended fields.
  • ✓A manufacturer's minimal contact QR code on packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is MeCard different from vCard?

MeCard uses shorter field syntax than the full VCF standard, which produces a less dense QR code for the same data — historically better supported by older Japanese feature phones.

Is MeCard as widely supported as vCard?

Not quite — support among modern apps is less universal than the vCard/VCF standard.
