Why use a vCard QR code?
Paper business cards get lost, and typing contact details from a card into a phone is error-prone. A vCard QR code stores your contact information in a standard format that phones understand: one scan, and the visitor gets a prompt to save you directly to their contacts — name, phone, email, company and website, all filled in automatically.
Use it on your physical business cards, email signature, conference badge, LinkedIn banner, or your website's contact page. It is also handy for teams: generate one code per employee with consistent company branding colors.
How to create a vCard QR code
1. Fill in your details: name, phone, email, company, job title and website. Only the name is truly required — leave out anything you prefer not to share.
2. The QR code updates live as you type. Customize colors to match your brand.
3. Download as PNG for digital use or SVG for print. SVG stays razor-sharp on business cards, where the code is printed small.
Tips for business-card printing
Business cards are small, so keep the code at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inch) and use medium or high error correction. Fewer fields mean a simpler, easier-to-scan code — if you only need name, phone and email, skip the rest. Always test-scan the printed proof with both iPhone and Android before a big print run.
Sharing WiFi instead? Use the WiFi QR code generator. For links and plain text, see the general QR code generator.
Frequently asked questions
What is a vCard?
vCard is the standard digital business card format (.vcf). Phones, email apps and contact managers all understand it, so scanning the code offers to save the contact directly.
Which fields should I include?
At minimum your name. Phone and email are the most useful additions. Company, title and website help people remember context. Keep it lean — fewer fields make a cleaner, more reliable code.
Do vCard QR codes expire?
Never. They are static codes with your details encoded inside. No account, no subscription, no tracking.
Will it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both recognize vCard QR codes with their built-in cameras and offer to add the contact.
Can I use my brand colors?
Yes. Pick any foreground and background colors, but keep strong contrast — dark on light scans most reliably.
Is my contact info uploaded anywhere?
No. The code is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
