Contact QR Code (vCard)

The more fields you add, the denser the code. For small business cards, include only what's essential.

A contact QR that saves itself

Instead of typing your name and number from a business card, people scan the QR code and their phone shows an “Add to contacts” screen. This tool encodes your details in the standard vCard (3.0) format, which the iPhone camera, Android cameras and most scanner apps understand.

What you can include

Name, mobile, work phone, email, company, department, title, website, address and a note. Names are split into first and last name so contacts sort correctly, and text is UTF-8 so accents and non-Latin characters survive. More fields make a denser code, so for small business cards stick to name, phone, email and company. Below the code you'll see its module count, data size and a recommended print size.

Printing and uses

To import many contacts into a phone at once, use CSV/Excel to vCard. Always test-scan before printing. Your details are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Scanning only shows text.

Some older scanner apps can't save vCards. Try your phone's built-in camera.

Do I need a new code when my details change?

Yes — the details are inside the code. In return there's no expiry and no server involved.

Can I include a photo?

No, photos are too large to fit in a QR code.
