How to Create a Digital Business Card on Android

To create a digital business card on your phone, open Business Card Tap on Android, tap My Card, enter your name and contact details, and tap Save. Open Share to show your QR code or send a contact file or card link. You do not need to create a Business Card Tap account.

1. Open the card that is already there

Open Digital Business Card: NFC QR, which displays Business Card Tap inside the app. It starts on the Share screen; tap My Card in the bottom navigation to open Card Details. Your first blank card already exists, so you can begin filling it in. You do not need to go to Cards or select + New Card. That control creates additional profiles and is part of Pro. For this walkthrough, stay with the initial card and its standard fields.

2. Add your name and work details

Enter the name you want recipients to save in Full Name. Add Job Title and Company if they help explain your work; leave them blank if they do not apply. Card Label is a separate field for identifying the card inside the app, such as Work or Personal. It is not included in the exported contact or card link, so do not put your job title there and expect recipients to see it. Start with the information someone needs to recognize you after the conversation.

3. Enter your phone number and links

Under Contact, fill in Phone, Email, and Website as needed. Use a phone number with its country code when sharing internationally, and enter a complete https:// address for your website. Under Social, there are separate fields for Instagram, LinkedIn, X / Twitter, and WhatsApp. For LinkedIn, pasting your full profile address avoids ambiguity about the profile path. Use your international number in WhatsApp. Add only the channels you want people to use; you can leave other fields empty. The table below gives you a short checklist before saving.

4. Save and check the preview

Scroll past the extra fields and appearance controls to find Save, then tap it. Return to Share using the bottom navigation and read the card preview. Confirm that the name, company, phone number, and email match what you intended to enter. Do not assume that an email warning prevented a save: the current app saves the information before showing its email-format warning. If you see that warning, return to My Card, correct the address, and save again. Finish saving before you send the card.

5. Show the QR code for an in-person handoff

On Share, scroll down to the QR code and tap Big QR to enlarge it. Keep your phone upright so the full code stays visible, and have the recipient scan it with a compatible camera or QR reader. The app puts contact information directly into this QR code; it is not a QR code for your card's web page. Ask the recipient to review the result and complete the contact-saving step on their phone. If their scanner does not offer a usable contact action, use the file or link option below.

6. Send a contact file for someone to save

Tap Send card, then Send contact file. Android opens its sharing menu with a .vcf file containing your card's contact fields. Choose an available messaging or email app that accepts the attachment, then complete the send in that app. If the recipient downloads the file but it does not open as a contact, Google Contacts provides an import route on Android: open Contacts, choose Organize, then Import from file, select the destination account if prompted, and select the VCF file. Google's Contacts Help documents this process.

7. Send a link when a browser view is more useful

For a browser-based handoff, choose Send card, then Send card link. Select a destination from Android's sharing menu and send the complete generated address. The recipient can open the card page without installing Business Card Tap and use its save control to download a contact file. Keep the entire address intact, including everything after the # symbol: that portion carries the card details. This is useful when an attachment is inconvenient, but the recipient needs internet access to load the web page.

8. Test the result on another phone

Before relying on your card, make one test handoff using the method you expect to use most. On the receiving phone, check the displayed name and phone number, open the website and profile links, and inspect the saved contact. A correct-looking preview cannot tell you whether you pasted the right profile address. If a link opens the wrong page, fix its field in My Card and save again. Then generate a fresh share and repeat that check. This also shows you the actual saving steps on the recipient's device.

9. Share again after changing your details

When your phone number, role, or website changes, edit the existing card and tap Save. Future QR displays, contact files, and card links will use the saved information. Previously sent files and links contain the earlier details; editing your card does not update those copies or someone else's saved contact. Send a new file or newly generated link to provide the correction. Likewise, replace any screenshot of the old QR code rather than continuing to share it after an important change.
