How vCard QR Codes Work
A vCard (Virtual Contact File) QR code encodes your contact information in a standardized format recognized by virtually every smartphone. When scanned, the phone prompts the user to save your contact with all the fields you included — name, phone, email, company, job title, website, and even a photo URL.
vCard is the universal standard for digital contact exchange, supported natively by both iOS and Android without any additional apps. It's the most reliable way to share contact information via QR code.
How to Create a vCard QR Code
- Enter your name (first and last) — the only required fields.
- Add your details — phone number, email, company, job title, website, and photo URL. All fields are optional.
- Customize and download your QR code. Pro tip: use the "Download Business Card" feature in the Export tab to get a printable card with your QR code and contact info together.
Where to Use vCard QR Codes
- Business cards — print the QR code on the back so contacts can save your info instantly
- Name badges and lanyards — at conferences and networking events
- Email signatures — embed a small QR code linking to your full contact card
- Office door signs — visitors can save your contact info when they visit
- LinkedIn profiles and resumes — let recruiters save your details with one scan
Business Card Download Feature
After creating your vCard QR code, check the Export tab for the "Download Business Card" button. This generates a beautifully styled card with your name, contact details, and QR code — ready to print or share digitally. It's a complete digital business card created right in your browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information can I include in a vCard QR code?
You can include: first and last name, phone number, email address, company name, job title, website URL, and a photo URL. All fields except the name are optional. The more fields you add, the more complex the QR code becomes.
Does vCard work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. vCard is the universal contact format, natively supported by both iOS and Android. When scanned with the built-in camera, both platforms will offer to save the contact automatically.
How is this different from MeCard?
vCard supports more fields than MeCard (company, job title, photo) and has better iPhone support. MeCard produces smaller QR codes and is preferred by some Android devices. If you need maximum compatibility and rich contact data, choose vCard.
Should I embed my photo or link to it?
We encode the photo as a URL reference (PHOTO;VALUE=uri:) rather than embedding the image bytes. Embedding even a tiny thumbnail makes the QR code so dense that most cameras can't scan it. The trade-off: many contact apps ignore remote photo URLs when importing from a QR scan. If you want a photo on the actual physical card, use the upcoming Business Card Designer feature instead.
What vCard version do you generate?
We generate vCard 3.0, which is the most universally supported version. vCard 4.0 has slightly more features but inconsistent support across older iOS and Android versions. Sticking with 3.0 maximizes the chance that any phone scanned with will save the contact correctly.
Can I include multiple phone numbers or emails?
The current generator supports one of each (the most common case for a business card). If you need multiple, use the Text QR code type and paste a hand-built vCard string with multiple TEL;TYPE=WORK and TEL;TYPE=CELL lines — vCard 3.0 supports any number of phone and email entries.
Does the contact save with my preferred display name?
Yes — we generate both the structured N field (last;first) and the formatted FN field (first last) so contact apps display 'John Doe' rather than 'Doe, John'. Some apps prefer one over the other; including both ensures consistent display across iOS, Android, Outlook, and Google Contacts.
Is there a size limit for vCard QR codes?
Technically a QR code can hold thousands of characters, but practically you should keep total vCard data under 300 characters for reliable scanning at business-card print sizes. If you're hitting the limit, drop optional fields (job title, website) or shorten your company name.
