How to share a contact on WhatsApp

WhatsApp can send a contact card from your phone's contacts in a few taps — or a .vcf file, or your card link. Here's how, and which to use when.

  • Nothing uploaded
  • No sign-up, no subscription
  • Scan → saved to contacts
  • .vcf · QR · PNG · PDF
100% in your browser
Profile photoOptional. Shown on the card and saved inside the .vcf, so it appears in your contact's phone.
Address
Social profiles

A handle (@jane) or a full link both work. They're added to the contact file and your card link.

Tagline / note

Shown on your card link and the back of the printed card, saved as the contact's note.

Fewer fields = a less dense code that scans faster from a printed card. The .vcf file always has everything.

    Scanning this QR adds you to the phone's contacts (iPhone and Android camera apps).

    Card image & print

    Print PDF: 3.5 × 2 in with 1/8 in bleed, front and back. Sheet: 10 cards per page, fits standard perforated card stock.

    Your card link

    A web page with your card and a “Save contact” button. Your details are inside the link itself (after the #) and are never stored on our server. Open it

    Email signature

    Email programs only show images hosted online, so paste a link to an image (e.g. your LinkedIn photo or website logo).

    Paste into Gmail (Settings → Signature), Outlook (Settings → Signatures) or Apple Mail. The “Save my contact” link opens your card link.

    Send a contact card

    • Android: open the chat → paperclip (Attach) → Contact → pick the contact → send.
    • iPhone: open the chat → + → Contact → pick the contact → Next. All details are included by default; untick what you don't want to share, then Send. WhatsApp needs access to your contacts for this.

    The other person can tap the card to save it or message that number.

    Share your own business card

    Three options, from simplest to richest:

    1. Contact card — save yourself in your phone's contacts first, then send that card as above.
    2. .vcf file — download your contact file from this page (it includes your photo), then Attach → Document → choose the .vcf. Tapping it usually opens the phone's add-contact screen; test it once with a friend.
    3. Card link — paste your card link into the chat. It opens a page with your details, social profiles and a Save contact button, on any phone.

    Share your WhatsApp with a QR code

    Add your WhatsApp number under Social profiles in the builder. Your card link then includes WhatsApp, so people can message you straight from a scanned QR code or a printed card.

    For teams

    Sending a whole team's contacts? Team batch gives you every person's .vcf plus one all-contacts.vcf — send that single file and the recipient can import everyone at once. Team batch
