vCard QR Code: Your Contact Details in One Scan
Instead of hoping people type your number in correctly or save your card before losing it, a vCard QR code lets contacts scan your business card and save every detail to their phone in one tap — name, phone, email, company, and website, all at once.
What is a vCard QR code?
vCard (Virtual Contact File) is a standard format for sharing contact information digitally. A vCard QR code encodes all your contact details into a QR code using the vCard 3.0 format.
When someone scans it with their iPhone or Android camera, the phone reads the vCard data and displays a "Save Contact" prompt — pre-filled with every field you included. One tap saves everything.
No app required. Works on all modern smartphones.

What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes your contact information (name, phone, email, company, website, address) into a scannable code. When someone scans it, their phone prompts them to save your contact details directly to their contacts app — no typing required.
What information can I include in a vCard QR code?
Name, phone number(s), email address(es), company name, job title, website URL, physical address, and notes. Most QR code generators support all standard vCard 3.0 fields.
Can I update a vCard QR code after printing?
Not with a static vCard QR code — the contact data is encoded directly in the code. For updatable contact sharing, use a dynamic QR code that points to a digital business card URL, so you can update it without reprinting.
Do I need an app to scan a vCard QR code?
No — the native camera app on iOS and Android can scan vCard QR codes and prompt you to save the contact. Some older Android phones may need a QR scanner app.
