qrvc

Use the command line to make a QR code from a vCard

qrvc is a command line tool that allows to prepare a QR code from vCard data.

A QR code for a fictional vCard

One way to create the QR code is by providing a vCard file as input and process that. If you do not have a vCard file, qrvc will ask you for data input and will then create a vCard file and a QR code for you.

Your data remains on your computer and nowhere else.
