What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard is the standard format phones use to store contacts. A vCard QR code holds your contact card inside the code itself, so it works without internet. Scanning it on an iPhone or Android phone shows a “Create contact” prompt with all your details filled in.
Where to use your vCard QR code
- Business cards — the classic use. People save you instantly instead of the card ending up in a drawer.
- Email signatures — handy for people reading on a laptop who want your number on their phone.
- Conference badges and booths — collect connections quickly at events.
- CVs and portfolios — make it easy for recruiters to save your details.
- Shop and clinic counters — let customers save your business number for later.
Tips for a good contact QR code
- Only include details you're happy to share publicly.
- Use your phone number with country code so it works internationally.
- More fields make a denser code. Print it at least 2.5 × 2.5 cm on business cards.
- If your details change, generate a new code — the information is stored inside it.
