What Fields Does a vCard QR Code Store?
This generator builds a standard vCard 3.0 record: full name (N/FN), organization (ORG), job title (TITLE), phone (TEL;TYPE=CELL), email (EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET), and website (URL). Only the fields you fill in are included — leaving company or job title blank simply omits those lines, it doesn't break the code.
Because the format is a widely supported open standard, the same QR code opens correctly in every major phone's native contacts app, not just one platform.
Where to Use a vCard QR Code
- Printed on a physical business card as a "scan to save" option
- At networking events, so contacts save your number instantly
- On a booth or storefront for walk-in customer follow-up
- In an email signature for recipients to save you as a contact
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vCard QR code, exactly?
It's a QR code that encodes a vCard (VERSION 3.0) contact record directly — name, phone, email, company, job title, and website — instead of a link. Scanning it offers to save those details straight into the phone's contacts app, with no internet connection needed at the moment of scanning.
Does it work the same on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both iOS's Camera app and Android's default camera or a QR scanner recognize the vCard format and open a 'Add Contact' or 'Create Contact' screen pre-filled with the details you entered.
What information should I include?
At minimum, a first or last name plus a phone or email. Company, job title, and a website URL are optional but make the saved contact more useful — they show up as the organization and web link fields in the saved entry.
How is this different from a digital business card?
A vCard QR code only saves contact fields to a phone's address book. A digital business card is a full, shareable web page with your photo, links, services, and more — you can turn any vCard QR code you generate here into one with a single tap.
Does a vCard QR code need internet access?
The contact details are encoded in the QR itself, so a compatible phone can read them without loading a website. Opening a website field inside the contact still requires connectivity.
What happens if my contact details change later?
A static vCard QR keeps the details that were encoded when it was created. If important fields change, create and replace the QR, or use an updateable digital business card when ongoing edits are important.
