vCard QR Code Generator — Digital Business Card Contact Sharing
No sign-up. No subscription. Never expires.
How to Generate a vCard QR Code
1. Fill in Essential Contact Details
Enter your full name, phone number, professional email, company name, and job title. Keeping entries concise ensures the matrix pattern stays crisp and easy to scan on small business cards.
2. Pick High-Contrast Styling & Redundancy
Because vCard codes encode multi-line text, use Level M or Q error correction. Keep foreground and background high contrast (classic black on white is recommended for print).
3. Export Lossless Vector SVG for 300 DPI Print
Download your vCard in Vector SVG format. Give this file directly to your print shop or design team for sharp, unpixelated business cards, badges, and marketing materials.
Why Use a vCard QR Code
1-Tap Phone Address Book Saving
Never lose a business lead again. Scanning your vCard QR code opens the native Contacts app on iPhone or Android with every detail pre-filled and ready to save.
No Subscription Fees or Paywalls
Commercial 'smart digital business card' services charge $10-$30/month just to keep your card working. Our static vCard codes belong to you forever with zero ongoing costs.
100% Offline & Universal Compatibility
vCard 3.0 is an internationally recognized standard. Your code scans anywhere—including underground convention centers, airplanes, or areas with zero cellular reception.
Zero Privacy Invasion & No Tracking
Your private phone numbers and personal emails are never sent to a tracking database or sold to telemarketers. The code matrix directly encodes the raw contact card.

vCard Technical Specifications
The vCard 3.0 Standard
We format contact data using the RFC 2426 vCard 3.0 specification: BEGIN:VCARD, VERSION:3.0, N, FN, ORG, TITLE, TEL, EMAIL, and END:VCARD. This format is natively supported by iOS Contacts and Android Contacts.
Payload Density & Matrix Sizing
Because vCard payloads contain multiple fields of text, the matrix density is naturally higher than a simple URL. To maintain effortless scanning, we recommend keeping company names and titles concise.
Minimum Print Sizing for Business Cards
For a business card scanned from 15 to 25 cm, ensure your printed vCard QR code is at least 2.5 × 2.5 cm (ideally 3.0 × 3.0 cm) with a 4-module quiet zone around the perimeter to guarantee quick focus.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes contact information (name, phone, email, company, address). When scanned, it prompts the phone to save the contact directly to the address book.
Can a vCard QR code hold a profile picture?
Standard static vCard QR codes do not support profile pictures due to data limits. Keep the text clean and concise for reliable scanning.
Why is my vCard QR code pattern so dense?
The more contact details you add, the more complex the QR code pattern becomes. We recommend only including essential fields to ensure easy scanning.
Do static business card QR codes expire?
No, they do not expire. However, if your phone number or email changes, you must generate a new QR code as the data is static.
