Create a vCard QR Business Card People Can Use

A vCard QR lets a compatible scanner offer contact details to save. It is most useful when the data is short, accurate and intentionally public.

Choose the right information

Start with a name and useful work contact details: company, phone, email and website. Avoid adding private home addresses or notes you would not want any recipient to read.

The vCard data is inside the QR, not behind a hosted profile. A changed phone number or address requires a new code; the old printed card will not update itself.

Keep the code easy to scan

The tool exports a 90×50 mm landscape card or a 50×90 mm portrait card. Use only the fields you need: long notes and addresses make the QR denser.

The exported size is the finished card, without bleed or crop marks. Confirm artwork and finishing requirements with your print shop instead of assuming the downloaded file is a press-ready specification.

Check import on two platforms

Scan the exported PNG or SVG using iPhone and Android. Review the proposed name, email, phone and line breaks before saving the contact. The exact prompt depends on the scanner app.

If the contact does not import, simplify the fields and test a compatible QR reader. A readable QR is not a guarantee that every app supports vCard 3.0.

Print and share responsibly

Print at actual size and test the finished stock. Gloss, low contrast and trimming too near the QR border can interfere with scanning.

Project saving stores the base vCard data, not the card layout. Share your exported image only with the audience you want to have those contact details.
