vCard QR codes

Your contact info, saved in one scan.

Put a QR on your business card. They scan it, their phone shows an "Add to contacts" sheet, they tap once. Your name, number, email, and company are saved. No typing, no typos.

Free. No credit card. Works on iOS and Android.

What a vCard QR code does

A vCard QR code encodes your contact information in the vCard 3.0 format: name, job title, company, phone, email, website, and address. When someone scans it, their phone's camera app reads the data and surfaces an "Add to contacts" prompt. One tap and they have your full contact record, correctly spelled, in the right fields.

Where people use them

Business cards

Print the QR on the back of your card. The person who loses your card in a coat pocket never saves the number. The person who scans the QR does, instantly.

Conference name badges

A QR on your lanyard is faster than swapping business cards and more reliable than NFC. No app required, no card to run out of.

Storefront signage

A QR in the window with your business name, phone, and hours. People walking past save your number before they even come in.

Product packaging and inserts

Put your support contact details on the insert card. Customers who need help scan it and already have the right number, no searching required.

How it works

  1. 1

    Fill in your contact details

    Name, job title, company, phone, email, website, and address. Include what you want; leave the rest blank. The QR only encodes fields you fill in.

  2. 2

    Customize the look

    Add your logo, pick brand colors, choose a frame. Or ship the default: clean, high-contrast, and readable at business-card scale.

  3. 3

    Download and print

    SVG or EPS for print shops, PNG for digital, JPG if the system needs it. Size it for a business card and it still scans. Size it for a banner and it still looks sharp.

FAQ

What information can I include in a vCard QR code?

Any standard vCard field: first and last name, job title, company, up to 3 phone numbers (mobile, work, home), email addresses, website URL, physical address, and a note. The QR encodes whatever you fill in and skips the rest.

Does it work on iPhone and Android without an app?

Yes. iOS 11+ and Android 10+ camera apps read vCard QR codes natively and display an "Add to contacts" prompt. No third-party app required.

Can I update my contact information after printing?

No. vCard QR codes are static: the contact data is encoded directly in the QR. If your phone number or email changes, generate a new QR and reprint. If you need an updatable contact page, a URL QR pointing to your website or LinkedIn profile is the better choice.

How small can I print a vCard QR and still have it scan?

Business card scale works reliably: roughly 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm at 300 DPI. Quieter zones (the white border) matter more than size. If you keep the required 4-module quiet zone, it scans at very small sizes. Use the SVG export for sharp rendering at any size.

Is there a free tier for vCard QR codes?

Yes. vCard codes are free, with no expiration and no signup required to download a single code. Free codes carry a small TurtleQR mark; any paid plan removes it. Sign in to save and manage multiple codes from one dashboard.
