vCard QR code for business cards
A vCard QR code stores your contact details inside the code itself. Scanning it opens the phone's 'add contact' screen with everything filled in, even without an internet connection.
Include the country code, e.g. +44
Add a name or company.
Style and logo
Stays in your browser. Error correction switches to H automatically.
How to set it up
- 1
Fill in only what you want people to save: name, company, title, phone, email, website.
- 2
Keep it short. Every extra field makes the code denser and harder to print small.
- 3
Download the SVG or PDF and give it to your printer as vector artwork.
- 4
Test it on both iPhone and Android before ordering 500 cards.
Recommended size
At least 20 mm on a standard business card. vCards are dense, so do not go smaller.
What works
- If your details change often, link the code to a contact page instead and use a dynamic code.
- Include the country code in your phone number (+44, +1) so it works internationally.
Mistakes to avoid
- Adding a long address and bio, which pushes the code to a density that small prints cannot scan.
- Printing a PNG at low resolution. Always send vector (SVG or PDF) to a printer.

Does a vCard QR code need internet?
No. The contact details are inside the code, so the phone can save them offline.
Can I update a vCard QR code after printing?
Not the details stored in it. If you need to update them, point a dynamic code at an online contact page instead.
