The modern way to share your contact information
A vCard QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that encodes your contact information in the standard vCard (Virtual Contact File) format. When someone scans the QR code with their smartphone camera, your contact details — including name, phone number, email address, company, job title, website, and physical address — are instantly available to be saved directly to their phone's contact list.
Unlike exchanging paper business cards, a vCard QR code eliminates the need for manual data entry. The recipient simply scans and taps "Add to Contacts" — no typing required, no risk of errors. The vCard format (also known as VCF) is universally supported by all major smartphone operating systems including iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
Our free vCard QR code generator uses the vCard 3.0 standard, which is compatible with virtually every device and contact management application in use today. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser, meaning your personal contact information is never sent to or stored on any server.
Generate your digital business card in 3 simple steps
Fill in your first name, last name, company, job title, phone number, email address, website URL, and physical address. Only the name fields are required — all other fields are optional.
Choose a color that matches your brand or personal style. Select the error correction level — use "High" if you plan to print the QR code small or add a logo overlay later.
Download your vCard QR code as PNG for digital use or SVG for high-quality print. Print it on business cards, flyers, name badges, or email signatures.
Why vCard QR codes are replacing traditional paper cards
Recipients save your full contact details with a single scan. No typing, no transcription errors, no lost business cards sitting in a drawer.
Reduce paper waste by replacing stacks of printed business cards. A single QR code on your phone or badge can be shared unlimited times.
No printing costs, no design fees, no reorder charges. Generate and update your vCard QR code anytime for free — no signup required.
Works on every modern smartphone. iPhone, Android, and other devices can all scan vCard QR codes natively using their built-in camera app.
Include everything in one code: name, phone, email, company, job title, website, and address. Paper cards often lack space for all your details.
Your contact data is encoded directly in the QR code pattern — generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is stored on any server, ever.
Where and how professionals use digital business card QR codes
Show your vCard QR code on your phone screen at meetups, networking mixers, and industry events. New connections save your details in seconds instead of fumbling with paper cards.
Print your vCard QR code on name badges, booth banners, or handout materials. Attendees can scan and save your info without you needing to be present at the booth.
Add a vCard QR code to the back of your traditional business cards. Recipients get the best of both worlds — a physical card they can see and a digital version they can save instantly.
Embed your vCard QR code image in your email signature. Recipients of your emails can scan it to add you to their contacts — great for cold outreach and client communications.
Include a vCard QR code on your printed resume, CV, or portfolio. Hiring managers can instantly save your contact information for follow-up interviews and callbacks.
Display a vCard QR code at your reception desk, storefront window, or office door. Walk-in visitors can save your business contact details without needing to speak to anyone.
