What is QR Code Generator vCard?

QR Code Generator vCard creates QR codes that contain contact card data. When scanned, the recipient's phone automatically offers to save the contact with all details filled in — name, phone, email, and organization.

Builds a vCard 3.0 or 4.0 block (RFC 6350) with name, phone, email, organization, job title, postal address and social profiles (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram), then encodes the whole block into the QR pattern. A contact photo can be embedded in the downloaded .vcf, and a brand logo can sit in the middle of the code. Already have a contact file? Import any .vcf to fill every field in one step. iOS and Android both recognize the format and offer a one-tap Add to Contacts dialog with every field pre-filled.

How to use

1. Step 1 — Fill in your contact details: first name, last name, phone number, email, and organization.
2. Step 2 — Preview the generated vCard QR code in real time as you type.
3. Step 3 — Download the QR code and use it on business cards, email signatures, or name badges.

When to use

• Printing a contact-share QR on a name badge or lanyard at a conference or trade fair.
• Adding a scannable vCard to a business card so the recipient saves all details in one tap.
• Including a vCard QR on real-estate or sales flyers so leads can save the agent's contact instantly.

Result

Fill in 'Jane Doe, +1-555-0199, jane@example.com, Acme Corp, Senior Designer' and download the QR code for your conference badge so attendees can save your contact in one scan.

FAQ

What's the difference between vCard 3.0 and 4.0, and which should I pick?

3.0 is the older standard with the widest support across legacy systems (Outlook on Windows, older Android contacts). 4.0 handles more property types and Unicode better but a handful of apps still ignore some 4.0 fields. Pick 3.0 unless you specifically need 4.0 features.

How much can I include before the QR gets too dense to scan?

Aim for under 600 bytes of vCard content. That comfortably fits name, phone, email, organization, title, web and one address. Add three social URLs and a long company name and you'll quickly approach the dense end where small printed sizes start failing.

Are the LinkedIn, X and Instagram links saved as proper social profiles in iOS Contacts?

Yes when supported. The vCard uses the X-SOCIALPROFILE extension; iOS recognizes it and creates labelled social entries, Android Contacts saves them under Notes or Websites depending on the device manufacturer's contact app.

Does the address show up as a tappable map link?

Once the contact is saved, both iOS and Android render the address field as a tappable link that opens Maps. The QR itself only encodes text; the tap-to-map behaviour comes from the contacts app reading the ADR field.

Can I add a profile photo to the vCard?

Yes. Add a photo and it rides along inside the downloaded .vcf, so the contact saves with a face in the address book. It is deliberately kept out of the QR code itself — a base64 image would bloat the pattern past the practical scan limit — so the printed code stays crisp and easy to scan.
