Settings guide
Which fields to fill:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Include first and last name in separate fields for correct sorting in Contacts |
| Phone | Use international format: +1 (555) 123-4567 for global compatibility |
| Primary work email | |
| Organization | Your company name as it should appear in Contacts |
| Title | Job title |
| Website | Include https:// |
| Address | Optional — adds searchability in maps apps |
International format for phone numbers: Use +[country code][number] without spaces or dashes. This ensures the phone number works when the recipient is in a different country.
Multiple phones: If you want to include both mobile and office numbers, list mobile first — it appears more prominently in most contact apps.
Photo: Some vCard generators support embedding a small profile photo. This increases recognizability in the recipient's Contacts app but significantly enlarges the QR code density.
Format comparison
vs a paper business card with contact details printed on it: Paper cards require manual data entry (or careful OCR scanning). They get lost, damaged, or thrown away. A vCard QR code saves to Contacts instantly and is indexed for search. Paper cards are still valuable as a physical object that prompts a human interaction — but a QR code on the back eliminates the data entry step.
vs digital business card apps (HiHello, Blinq, Popl, etc.): These services create hosted profile pages with analytics. They require accounts, subscriptions, and depend on a third-party service remaining operational. A vCard QR from this generator is a static file — it works forever with no ongoing dependency. The trade-off is no analytics, no easy updates if your contact details change, and no hosted profile page.
vs NFC-enabled business cards: NFC business cards store contact data in a chip that transmits on tap — no camera required. They are more elegant but cost more per card. QR-based vCards work on any phone with a camera, including older devices without NFC.

About this format
A vCard QR code encodes a digital contact card — name, phone number, email, company, job title, website, and address — in a format that phones can read and save directly to the Contacts app. Scanning the code creates a new contact pre-filled with all your information. The recipient never types a single character.
The vCard format (Virtual Contact File, .vcf) is the universal standard for contact exchange, supported by every major operating system: iOS Contacts, Android Contacts, Outlook, Google Contacts, macOS Contacts, and Thunderbird. A QR-encoded vCard works across all of them.
This is the standard for modern business cards, conference badges, and name tags. Instead of handling out paper cards that get lost, you put a QR code on your card and the contact information goes directly into the recipient's phone. Searchable, saved, never lost.
The vCard 3.0 format used by this generator is compatible with all modern devices. It supports structured name fields, multiple phone numbers (mobile, work, home), multiple email addresses, a full mailing address, organization name, job title, and a website URL. Everything a business card communicates — and it is instantly searchable in the recipient's Contacts app.
