How to Create a vCard QR Code

A vCard QR code generator converts your contact details into a compact, scannable image. This is the modern alternative to exchanging paper business cards. The vCard format is an open standard (RFC 6350) supported by every major contacts application, including Apple Contacts, Google Contacts, and Microsoft Outlook.

Steps to Generate Your QR Code

  1. Enter your first name, last name, and any additional contact details you want to share.
  2. The QR code preview updates in real time as you complete each field.
  3. Scan the code with your own phone to verify all contact information is correct.
  4. Download the QR code and add it to your business card, email signature, or name badge.

Common Use Cases

  • Business cards — print a QR code on the back so contacts can save your info with one scan.
  • Conference name badges — let attendees exchange contact information without juggling physical cards.
  • Email signatures — embed a small QR code image so recipients can save your details instantly.
  • Real estate signs — let prospective buyers save the agent's contact information on the spot.
  • Trade show booths — display a large QR code so visitors can grab your details as they walk by.

About the vCard Format

The vCard (Virtual Contact File) format uses a structured text format beginning with BEGIN:VCARD and ending with END:VCARD. Each field is represented as a property-value pair, such as TEL:+1234567890. This generator uses vCard version 3.0, which provides the best balance of feature support and cross-platform compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes contact information in the vCard 3.0 standard. When scanned, the phone offers to save the contact with all fields pre-filled — name, phone number, email, company, job title, website, and mailing address.
What is the difference between vCard and MeCard?
vCard (VCF) is the international standard supported by all platforms. It supports more fields including job title, company, website, and full address. MeCard is a simpler, more compact format originally developed by NTT DoCoMo in Japan. For maximum compatibility and detail, vCard is the recommended choice.
Can I include a photo in the vCard QR code?
Photos are not included in the QR code because they significantly increase data size, making the QR pattern too complex to scan reliably. The contact fields (name, phone, email, etc.) are encoded in plain text, which keeps the code compact.
Does this work with all phones?
Yes. Both iOS and Android recognize vCard data natively. When a user scans the code, their contacts app opens automatically with the option to save the new contact.
Which fields are required?
Only the first name and last name are required. All other fields (phone, email, company, title, website, address) are optional and will be included in the QR code only if you fill them in.
