vCard QR Code Generator
A vCard QR code is the digital version of a business card. One scan adds your full contact details — name, phone, email, company, title, address, website — straight into the other person's phone book. Better than any paper card, because nothing gets lost in a drawer.

What a vCard Contains
The vCard format is a global standard (RFC 6350) supported by every smartphone, every email client, and every CRM. A typical vCard QR holds:
- First and last name
- Job title and company
- Phone numbers (mobile, work, home)
- Email address
- Website URL
- Physical address
- (Optional) Profile photo, social media handles
Where to Use a vCard QR Code
- Printed business cards — back side, top corner, dedicated to the QR.
- Email signatures — a small image at the bottom of every email you send.
- LinkedIn profile cover — embed the QR in a custom banner so anyone viewing your profile can save your info.
- Conference name badges — most events let you add a custom logo or QR.
- Shop windows and storefronts — passers-by can save your details even when you're closed.
Tips for a vCard That Always Scans
- Keep it short. Skip rarely-used fields like fax. Smaller payload = simpler, more scannable QR.
- Use error correction H if you embed a logo in the middle.
- Test on multiple phones — iPhone, Android, older devices — before printing.
- Print at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide on paper. For metal or engraved cards, go larger.
Static vs Dynamic vCards
Our generator creates static vCard codes — the contact info is encoded directly. They never expire, work offline, and depend on no third-party service. The only downside is that if you change your phone number, you need to print new codes.
Dynamic vCards live on a third-party server. They can be edited later but stop working if that vendor goes offline. For 95% of business cards, static is the better choice.
