💡 Why Use vCard QR Codes?
In the digital age, business card exchanges and manual contact entry are outdated, error-prone, and inefficient.
Traditional paper business cards get lost, contact information changes, and manually typing someone's details into
your phone is time-consuming and leads to mistakes. vCard QR codes solve all these problems instantly.
When someone scans your vCard QR code with their smartphone, all your contact information—name, phone numbers,
email addresses, company details, website, and physical address—is automatically saved to their contacts app.
No typing, no errors, no lost cards. It's networking made effortless.
This technology is perfect for professionals who want to make a lasting impression while staying ahead of the curve.
Whether you're at a conference, meeting clients, or simply networking, a vCard QR code on your business card, email
signature, or LinkedIn profile ensures your contact information is always accessible and professional.
🎯 Perfect for:
- Business professionals and entrepreneurs networking at events
- Real estate agents sharing contact info on property signs and flyers
- Sales representatives meeting potential clients
- Conference attendees and speakers at professional events
- Freelancers and consultants building their client base
- Job seekers including QR codes on resumes and portfolios

Follow these simple steps to create your professional vCard QR code:
1
Open the Contact QR Generator
Click the button above or navigate to the Contact QR Generator page. The tool loads instantly in your browser
with no sign-up or installation required. All processing happens locally on your device.
2
Enter Your Full Name
Fill in your first and last name in the designated fields. This is the most important field and will appear
as the contact name when someone saves your information. Make sure to spell it correctly as you want it to appear.
3
Add Contact Methods
Enter your phone number(s) and email address(es). Include your primary contact methods first. You can add multiple
phone numbers (mobile, office, home) and email addresses (work, personal). Format phone numbers with country code
for international compatibility (e.g., +1-555-123-4567).
4
Fill in Professional Details
Add your company name, job title, and website URL. These fields help establish your professional credibility.
Include your full website URL (e.g., https://www.yourcompany.com) to make it clickable when saved.
5
Include Address (Optional)
Add your business or office address including street, city, state/province, ZIP/postal code, and country.
This is especially useful for businesses that want clients to visit their physical location.
6
Download Your vCard QR Code
Click the download button to save your QR code as a high-resolution PNG file. The QR code is generated instantly

networking (with work email and office phone) and another for personal connections (with personal email and mobile phone).
You can also customize the QR code colors to match your brand identity for a more professional appearance on business materials.
❔ Frequently Asked Questions
What information can I include in a vCard QR code?
vCard QR codes can contain extensive contact information including: full name, multiple phone numbers (mobile, work, home),
multiple email addresses, company name, job title, website URL, physical address (street, city, state, ZIP, country),
and even social media profiles. You can include as much or as little information as you want to share.
Will vCard QR codes work on all smartphones?
Yes! All modern smartphones (iPhone iOS 11+, Android 8+) can scan vCard QR codes using their built-in camera apps.
When scanned, the device automatically recognizes it as contact information and prompts the user to save it to their
address book. No special app is required on newer devices.
Can I update my vCard QR code after printing it?
No, standard vCard QR codes are static, meaning the information is permanently encoded in the QR code itself. If your
contact information changes, you'll need to generate a new QR code. However, this ensures complete privacy since no
third-party service controls your data. For frequently changing information, consider using a URL QR code that links
to an online profile you can update.
What's the ideal size for a vCard QR code on a business card?
For business cards, aim for at least 1 x 1 inch (2.5 x 2.5 cm) to ensure reliable scanning. Larger is better—1.5 x 1.5 inches
is ideal. Make sure there's adequate white space around the QR code (called "quiet zone") for optimal scanning. Test your
printed business card with multiple devices before ordering in bulk.
Do I need to fill in all fields to create a vCard QR code?
No! At minimum, you only need a name and one contact method (phone number or email address). All other fields are optional.
However, the more complete your vCard, the more professional it appears and the more ways people can reach you. Include
information that's relevant to your networking goals.
Is my contact information secure when creating a vCard QR code?
Absolutely! Our vCard QR code generator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your contact information never
leaves your device or gets sent to any server. All data processing happens locally on your computer or phone. You can
even use the generator offline once the page has loaded. This makes it completely secure and private.
Can I customize the appearance of my vCard QR code?
Yes! You can customize the colors, size, and error correction level of your vCard QR code. Match it to your brand colors
or personal style. Just ensure there's enough contrast between the foreground and background for reliable scanning.
Black on white is the safest choice, but dark colors on light backgrounds work well too.
How do people know what the QR code is for?
It's helpful to add a small label near your QR code such as "Scan for Contact Info," "Add Me to Contacts," or
"Save My Contact Details." This makes it clear what will happen when someone scans it. On business cards, the context
is usually obvious, but adding a label never hurts and can increase scan rates.
