How to Create a vCard (Contact) QR Code

A vCard QR code encodes your contact details — name, phone, email, company, and job title — in a standard format that every phone understands. When scanned, the person's phone offers to save it directly to their contacts app, no manual typing involved.

Where vCard QR codes work best

• Business cards — a small code in the corner means your card never goes out of date, even if the printed number does.
• Email signatures — let recipients save your full details with one scan from their phone camera pointed at their screen.
• Conference badges and networking events — faster and more accurate than exchanging cards or typing numbers into a phone at a loud event.
• Storefronts and office doors — customers can save your business contact instantly.

Step-by-step: creating your vCard QR code

1. Gather your details

Have your full name, phone number, email, company name, job title, and website ready. You don't need to fill in every field — only what you want visible when someone saves the contact.

2. Fill in the generator

Open the vCard QR code generator and enter your details into each field. Double-check your phone number format (include country code if this card will travel internationally).

3. Generate and export

Generate the code and download as SVG if you're sending it to a printer for business cards (SVG stays crisp at any size), or PNG if you're adding it to a digital signature or social media.

4. Test before printing

Scan it yourself with a different phone and confirm every field saved correctly — especially phone number formatting and email spelling. It's much easier to catch a typo now than after 500 business cards are printed.
