Create a digital business card QR code. Scan to instantly save your contact details — name, phone, email, company, and website.
A vCard QR code stores your contact information in the vCard format (also called VCF), which is universally supported by iPhone, Android, and all major contact apps. When someone scans it, they see an "Add Contact" prompt — one tap and your details are saved. No app download, no typing. According to LinkedIn, 80% of professionals consider in-person networking critical to career success, making frictionless contact sharing more valuable than ever.
This is the digital evolution of the paper business card. An Adobe study found that 88% of paper business cards are discarded within a week of receipt — a vCard QR code ensures your contact details survive digitally even when the physical card is lost. You can put your vCard QR code on a physical business card, email signature, presentation slide, trade show badge, or website.
Our vCard QR code generator supports the most important contact fields: first and last name, phone number, email address, company, job title, and website. The vCard format (RFC 6350) is supported natively by iOS Contacts, Android Contacts, Outlook, and Gmail — covering over 95% of smartphone users worldwide. These fields cover 99% of real-world use cases and keep the QR code compact enough to scan reliably.
1. Fill in your details — add as many or as few fields as you want. 2. Download your QR code as a high-resolution PNG. 3. Add it to your business card next to your printed contact info, or use it anywhere digital.
When someone scans the code with their phone camera, the contact card appears instantly. They tap "Add Contact" and you're saved to their phone book — without any manual typing. According to Statista, 89 million US smartphone users scanned a QR code in 2022, so the habit is already widespread.
A URL QR code just opens a website. A vCard QR code encodes your contact information directly — no server, no link to break, works offline. The tradeoff: if your details change, you need to regenerate the QR code. For frequently changing information, consider linking to an online contact page instead.
Print size: Use at least 2 cm × 2 cm (0.8 inch) for reliable scanning. Include a small margin around the code. Test before printing: Always scan your QR code with multiple phones before sending to print. Label it: Add "Scan to save contact" below the QR code — it dramatically increases scan rates.
A vCard QR code encodes your contact details — name, phone, email, company, job title, website — in the universal vCard (VCF) format inside a QR code. When scanned, the phone's contacts app opens with an "Add Contact" prompt. One tap saves everything permanently, with no manual entry required.
The vCard format (RFC 6350) is supported natively by iOS Contacts, Android Contacts, Outlook, and Gmail — covering over 95% of smartphone users worldwide. Any iPhone running iOS 11 or later and any modern Android phone can scan a vCard QR code with the built-in camera, no app needed.
You can store first and last name, phone number, email address, company name, job title, and website URL. All fields are optional — include only what you want to share. These cover the vast majority of professional contact sharing needs while keeping the QR code compact and scannable.
It uses the same visual QR format but encodes data in the vCard contact format rather than a URL or plain text. Phones recognize the vCard format and open the contacts app rather than a browser. A URL QR code opens a website; a vCard QR code saves contact details directly to your address book.
A static vCard QR code encodes your information permanently and cannot be edited after creation. If your contact details change, regenerate the QR code and reprint or redistribute it. For frequently changing details, consider a URL QR code pointing to an online contact page you control.
