About vCard QR codes

A vCard is the .vcf file format that phones, Outlook and Apple Contacts all use to exchange a person's details. Wrapping one in a QR code turns the slow ritual of reading a business card and retyping a phone number into a single scan: the camera recognises the vCard, the OS parses the fields, and the recipient taps once to save you. Because the format is an open standard rather than a vendor trick, the same code works whether the other person carries an iPhone, a Pixel or an old Android.

Where it earns its keep. The classic spot is the back of a printed business card, but a vCard QR is just as useful on a conference badge, a trade-show banner, the last slide of a talk, or an email signature. This generator builds the vCard locally and encodes it straight into the image, so your phone number and email never pass through a server — unlike the “dynamic” QR services that route every scan through a redirect they control. The trade-off is that a static code can't be edited after printing: change a number and you regenerate the code. For a contact card that rarely changes, that's a fair price for keeping the data private and the scan instant even offline.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a QR code that holds a vCard — the standard .vcf contact format used by phones and email clients. When someone scans it, their phone reads the name, phone number, email and other fields and offers to save a new contact in one tap, with no typing.

Any modern iPhone (iOS 11+) or Android phone (Android 9+) reads it straight from the Camera app and shows an “Add contact” prompt. Older devices can use a free scanner such as Google Lens. The vCard standard is recognised across iOS, Android, Outlook and most contact apps.

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser and the details are encoded directly into the image. Nothing is sent to a server, so the only place your data goes is into the QR code you download.

Plenty for a contact card — name, organisation, job title, several phone numbers, email, website, postal address and a short note all fit. The more you add, the denser the code becomes, so keep notes short and use High error correction if you are printing it small.

Long addresses and notes pack a lot of data into the code, which makes the modules tiny. Trim optional fields, raise the export size, and keep error correction at High. For a business card, name, phone, email and website are usually enough.

Yes — that is the most common use. Download the SVG for crisp printing at any size, leave a white quiet zone around it, and keep it at least 2×2 cm so phone cameras lock on. Pair it with the printed details so people can read or scan, whichever they prefer.

Both encode contacts in a QR code. vCard is the full .vcf standard with rich fields and the widest app support, which is why this tool uses it. MECARD is a shorter, simpler format that produces a smaller code but carries fewer fields and is less universally recognised.

No. The details are baked into the image when you generate it, so an old code keeps the old number. After any change, generate a fresh vCard QR code and replace the printed or shared version.

Yes. Download the PNG and embed it in your signature so recipients can scan it to save your details. Keep it modest in size — around 120–160 px renders cleanly in most email clients without bloating the message.
