How to make a vCard (business card) QR code

A vCard QR code saves your contact details straight into someone's phone address book when they scan it — name, phone, email, company, website, and more. It's the modern business card.

Steps

1. In the generator, choose the vCard type.
2. Fill in the fields you want to share: name, phone, email, company/title, website, address.
3. Style and download the code.
4. Add it to your business card, email signature, name badge, or slide.

When scanned, the phone offers to create a new contact pre-filled with your details.

Where to use it

• Business cards — print it on the back so contacts save you instantly.
• Email signatures — drop the PNG in your signature.
• Conference badges — let people save your details without swapping cards.
• Storefront or booth — a "save our contact" card at the desk.

Static vs dynamic for vCards

• Static works forever and needs no account — good if your details are stable.
• Dynamic lets you update your details later (new phone number, new role) without reprinting cards, and shows you scan analytics. See Static vs dynamic.

For printed business cards you expect to hand out for a year, a dynamic vCard is often the smarter choice — change jobs or numbers and your old cards still work.

Tips

• Only include fields you're comfortable sharing publicly.
• Keep the code a reasonable size on the card with a clear quiet-zone margin.
• Test the scan on both iOS and Android before a print run.

FAQ

Will it add all my details automatically? Yes — the phone pre-fills a new contact from the fields you entered; the person just taps Save.

Can I include a photo? vCard codes focus on text fields (name, phone, email, etc.). For richer profiles, point a dynamic URL code at a contact/landing page instead.

What if my number changes? With a static vCard you'd reprint. With a dynamic one, update the destination and existing cards keep working.
