Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes contact information in vCard format. When scanned, it prompts the user to save the contact directly to their phone. It can include: name, phone, email, company, title, address, website, and photo URL.
What information can I include in a vCard QR code?
Full name, organization, job title, phone numbers (work, mobile, home), email addresses, physical address, website URL, birthday, and notes. The tool supports vCard 3.0 format, which is compatible with all modern smartphones.
How is a vCard QR code different from a regular contact QR code?
A vCard QR code uses the standardized vCard format (BEGIN:VCARD...END:VCARD), which phones recognize and offer to save as a contact. A plain text QR code with contact info just displays text. vCard provides a one-tap save experience.
What is the maximum data size for a vCard QR code?
Keep vCard data under 300 characters for reliable scanning. Include essential fields only: name, phone, email, company. Adding a full address and notes increases QR density. Skip the photo field (use a URL instead) to save space.
Where should I put a vCard QR code?
Business cards (most common). Email signatures. Conference badges. LinkedIn profiles. Resume headers. Company websites. The QR code replaces manual contact entry. Place it where people would want to save your contact information quickly.
