A vCard QR code holds your contact details in the standard format phones use for contacts. When someone scans it, their phone offers to save a new contact with your name, numbers, email, company, website and address already filled in. That's faster than typing from a paper card, and there are no typos.
We use vCard 3.0, the version iPhone and Android contacts apps handle most reliably, and store phone numbers in international format so they work for overseas contacts too. Everything is generated in your browser; your details stay on your device until you save the code to your account.
How to create a vCard QR code

Ways to use it
Business cards. Put the code on the back of your card so contacts save you in one scan.
Conference badges. Swap details at events without exchanging paper.
Shop counters and reception desks. Let customers save your business number for repeat orders.
Email signatures and slides. Add the code to your last slide or signature image.
Tips for a code that scans every time
- Every field you fill adds data. Include what people need, not everything you have, to keep the code easy to scan.
- Print vCard codes at least 2.5 cm (1 in) wide; they hold more data than a link and need a little more room.
- If your details change often, a URL code pointing to a contact page you can edit may suit you better.
Frequently asked questions
What is a vCard QR code?
It's a QR code containing your contact details in the vCard format. Phones recognise it and offer to save the details as a new contact.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both platforms' camera apps recognise vCard 3.0 codes and show an "Add to contacts" option. Test with your own phone before printing a batch of cards.
Which fields should I include?
Name, mobile number, email and company cover most needs. Add your website, job title and address if they're useful. Fewer fields mean a simpler code that scans more easily.
Why is my vCard code denser than a link code?
Your contact details are stored in the code itself rather than behind a link, so there is more data to fit. Removing fields you don't need simplifies the pattern.
Can I update the details later?
Not on a static code. The details are part of the pattern, so new details need a new code. Printed codes keep working with the old details.
Do you store my contact details?
Only if you save the code. While you design, everything stays in your browser. When you save the code to your account, we store its details so you can edit and re-download it, and you can delete it any time.
