About vCard QR Code Generator

Paper business cards get lost; typed contact details get mistyped. A vCard QR code fixes both: someone points their phone camera at it and a new contact opens, pre-filled with your name, phone number, email, and company, one tap to save. It's built on the standard vCard 3.0 format, so virtually every phone understands it without any special app.

Only the full name is required; everything else is optional, which is a feature, not a limitation. Less data means a simpler code that scans faster and stays legible at the tiny sizes business cards demand. Add one phone number, one email, and your company, skip the fax line and the third office address. Customize the look with the live preview, then download an SVG for print: vector output stays sharp no matter how small the card.

Remember that the code is a snapshot. When your number or title changes, the old printed codes go stale, so reprint them. And before ordering a few hundred cards, scan the code yourself and check that every field lands in the right place on both iPhone and Android. Field mapping is standard, but five seconds of testing beats a box of misprinted cards.
