Ever wondered what the difference is between NFC Tag Types 1 through 5? This guide breaks down each type, explaining their memory, speed, and ideal use cases.

Attending a conference or trade show? Leave the stack of paper cards at home. Here's how to make meaningful connections with a single tap.

Ready to program your NFC card? Our free web tool makes it easy to write text, URLs, or contact details to your card in seconds. Here's a step-by-step guide.
Get started in three simple steps — no installation needed.
Choose the NFC Reader, Writer, or any QR generator from the tools menu. Everything runs in your browser — nothing to install.
Type a URL, paste contact info, enter WiFi credentials — or just tap to scan an existing NFC tag and see what's on it.
Hold your phone near an NFC tag to write instantly, or download your QR code as a PNG to share anywhere.
Web NFC is a browser API that allows web applications to read from and write to NFC (Near Field Communication) tags. This means you can interact with physical NFC tags directly from a website, without needing a native mobile app.
Currently, Web NFC is supported by Chrome on Android (version 89 or newer). It is not available on iOS (iPhone/iPad) or desktop browsers like Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Make sure your Android device supports NFC and that NFC is enabled in system settings.
Our free tools allow you to read the contents of any standard NFC tag, write data like text or URLs, create and write digital contact cards (vCards), generate UPI payment QR codes and NFC tags, and share WiFi credentials via QR or NFC.
Yes, all our Web NFC tools—the reader, writer, vCard generator, UPI QR generator, and all QR code tools—are completely free to use directly in your browser. No sign-up, no account, and no installation required.
Our tools work with standard NDEF-formatted NFC tags. Most commonly available tags like NTAG213, NTAG215, and NTAG216 are fully compatible. The tool will indicate the estimated tag type and capacity after scanning.
Yes! All our QR code generators (URL, WiFi, vCard, UPI, Email, SMS, and more) work on any device without NFC hardware. You can generate, customize, and download QR codes even on a desktop browser.
All processing happens directly in your browser. We do not send your NFC tag data, vCard details, or payment information to any server. Your data never leaves your device.
