Test a contact QR with fictional details before sharing it
Decide what to disclose
Choose the contact fields that suit the audience. The tool requires a name and accepts optional organization, email, phone and website fields. A public work card should not automatically include personal details that its owner does not want distributed.
Create a demonstration
Use Sample Contact and sample@example.org as fictional demonstration values. Generate the code and save PNG or SVG. These values let you test import behavior without exposing a real contact’s data. Do not use the demonstration address as if it were a functioning support inbox.
Scan and inspect
Scan the saved code on a receiving device and inspect the preview. Confirm that the name, email, phone, organization and website appear in the expected fields. The code uses vCard 3.0, but applications can differ in how they display and import the data.
Prepare the real card
Replace the demonstration with details you are entitled to share. Keep the code square and preserve its blank border in the final layout. Scan the printed version at the intended size, then review the import prompt before saving. A screen preview is not a complete print test.
Maintain the public copy
Anyone with the QR can decode the information. Treat it as publication of its fields rather than as a private container. When a field changes, generate a new static code and replace outdated copies. The generator does not operate a dynamic contact-profile service or track scans.
Try and verify the workflow
For a business card, include your name, work email and work phone. Test importing the contact and check each field on the receiving device.
