vCard QR Code Generator
A vCard QR code carries a full contact card. Scanning it opens the phone's contact form pre-filled, so someone can save your details in a couple of taps instead of copying them from a business card.
Error correction M — good for print and screen
When to use a contact QR code
- Business cards, where the code does the work the printed text cannot
- Conference badges and trade show stands
- Email signatures and slide decks, so remote contacts can save you too
- Shop windows and vehicle livery, where a passer-by has seconds to act
Before you print
Keep the card short
Every field adds data, and more data means a denser code that needs to be printed larger to stay scannable. Name, one phone number, one email and a company covers most cases. A long job title and a full postal address rarely earn their space.
Include the country code
A number saved as 9650808335 is unusable to anyone abroad. Save it as +91 9650808335 and it works from anywhere.
Test on both platforms before printing
iOS and Android parse vCard fields slightly differently. Scan your own code on both before committing it to a print run.
Common questions
What is the difference between a vCard and a website QR code?
A vCard code contains the contact details themselves, so it works with no internet connection and saves directly to the phone. A website code just opens a page, which then has to be online to load.
Can I change my details later without reprinting?
Not with a static vCard — the details are inside the code. If your details change often, point a dynamic QR code at a contact page instead, so you can update the destination without reprinting.
