A digital business card in a QR code

Typing contact details from a business card into a phone is tedious and error-prone. A vCard QR code lets people save your name, phone, email, company and website to their contacts with one scan, with no app and no typos.

What's inside

The code stores a standard vCard 3.0 record, for example:

Where to use it

  • Business cards: on the back, next to your printed details.
  • Email signatures and websites: a scannable "save my contact" image.
  • Conference badges and name tags.
  • Real-estate signs, shop counters and service vehicles.
  • Resumes and portfolios: recruiters can save your details instantly.

Tips for reliable scanning

  1. Keep it lean. Include only the fields people need. Fewer characters mean bigger dots and easier scanning.
  2. Use international phone format (+44 …) so the number works from any country.
  3. Print large enough: 2 cm minimum on cards.
  4. High contrast: dark code on a light background.
  5. Test on both iPhone and Android before printing a batch.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when someone scans it?

The phone's camera recognizes the vCard and shows a 'Add to contacts' prompt with your details filled in. No app or internet connection is required.

Which fields should I include?

Name, one phone number, email and company are enough for most business cards. Every extra field makes the code denser and harder to scan at small sizes.

How big should it be on a business card?

At least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 in). Use the SVG download for sharp printing.

Can I update my details later?

No. The data is stored inside the code itself, so a new job title or phone number means generating and printing a new code.

Do the QR codes expire?

No. They are static QR codes with the data encoded directly, so they work forever.

Can I use them commercially?

Yes. The QR codes you generate are yours to use anywhere, including in print.
