How to Create a vCard (Contact) QR Code
Share your contact details instantly — scanned, saved, done.
A vCard QR code stores your contact information in the standard vCard format. Scanning it opens the contact-save dialog on the user's phone — they tap Save and you're in their address book.
Perfect for: business cards, name badges at conferences, email signatures, networking events, sales reps, real estate agents.
Required and optional fields
vCards support a lot of fields. Don't fill them all — keep it focused on what matters for your use case.
| Field | When to include |
|---|---|
| First and last name | Always |
| Phone (mobile) | Always |
| Always | |
| Company | If business |
| Job title | If business |
| Website | If you have a personal/company site |
| Address | Real estate, in-person businesses |
| Notes | Short tagline only |

Why vCard beats a phone-number QR
A phone-number QR (tel: type) only triggers a call. A vCard saves the whole contact card — name, email, company, phone, all in one tap. Always prefer vCard for networking.
Frequently asked
Will the contact save on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both platforms recognize the vCard format and prompt the user to save the contact directly.
How many fields should I include?
Fewer is better. Stick to name, phone, email, company, and title. Each extra field makes the QR pattern denser and harder to scan.
