Share your contact details with a QR code
A code that saves your name, phone and email straight into someone's address book, with no app and no typing. Print it on a badge or a card.
Someone scans the code on your badge and their phone offers to save you: name, mobile, email, website. No app, no typing, and your details land spelled correctly.

Keep it short
Everything you add makes the image denser, and a dense code is harder to scan from a badge at conversational distance. Name, mobile and email is a card that scans instantly. Name, two phones, email, website and a full postal address is a code that needs a steady hand and good light.
If you want to hand over more than that — a photo, social profiles, a form that captures them back — use a digital business card page instead of a contact code.
Static or dynamic
Static carries your details inside the image. The phone saves the contact with no internet, which is the right choice for a printed badge at an event where the signal is bad.
Dynamic opens a CodeQR page showing your card with a button to save it, counts the scans, and lets you correct a typo or a changed number after the card is printed.
Either way, a contact already saved on somebody's phone does not update. Changing a dynamic code fixes the next person to scan, never the last one.
Verify it works
Scan it with a phone that is not yours and go through with saving. Open the contact afterwards and read it: the name in the right fields, the number complete with area code, the email not truncated. A contact that saves as a blank name is the common failure, and you only see it after saving.
Troubleshooting
Both name fields were empty, or the code was made a long time ago in an older format. Create it again with First Name and Last Name filled in.
