vCard QR code generator
A vCard QR code encodes a contact card. One scan on a standard phone camera and the recipient sees a save-to-contacts prompt — no app to install, no retyping a name you heard once at a conference.
What is a vCard QR code?
vCard (version 3.0) is the standard format phones use to move contact details around. The QR code carries the card itself: your name, job title, company, phone numbers, email, website and a short note if you want one.
Static beats connected here, too: your paper business card does not depend on a subscription that auto-renews somewhere. It scans the same way ten years later.
How to make one
- Open the QR builder and pick the vCard type.
- Fill in the fields — name and role, phone and email are what people actually need; more fields mean a denser pattern.
- Add a logo or brand colors if the card matches your printed materials.
- Export PNG for print or SVG for vector layouts, then scan-test before committing to print.
Where a vCard QR earns its keep
Trade shows and conferences: print it on your lanyard so people can actually save you. Small businesses: the back of the business card, the receipt, the car door sign. Technicians and couriers: the manual and the van door — the customer saves the support contact in seconds.
What to avoid
Every field you add grows the pattern. A card with six phone numbers, three addresses and a nine-line note scans worse than three essential fields. Put short essentials in the code, longer details on the page it complements.
If your job may change soon, print fewer personal fields: a title that stops being true is baked in forever on a static code.
FAQ
Which contact fields are included?
Name, title and company, phone, email and website — whatever you enter in the builder becomes part of the vCard the code encodes.
What does the other person need to open it?
Nothing to install. Modern iPhone and Android cameras offer a save-to-contacts prompt directly.
Can I update the card later?
Not on a code you already printed — the card is encoded in the pattern. Always scan-test before printing, and reprint if you change jobs.
