What is a vCard QR code?

It is a QR that stores your contact details in the standard vCard 3.0 format (name, company, designation, phone, email, website, address). When someone scans it, their phone shows a 'Save to Contacts' prompt with every field filled in, so you land in their address book in one tap instead of being typed in later (or never).

Does it work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. Every iPhone since iOS 11 and every modern Android (via the stock camera or Google Lens) reads vCard QR codes natively. iPhone shows the contact card instantly. Some Android cameras need a long-press on the QR first, but the save flow is the same on both.

Is a vCard QR better than a paper visiting card?

It is faster and nothing gets lost. Paper cards usually sit uncollected in a drawer and rarely get typed into a phone. The best approach in India is to print a small QR (about 1.5cm) in the corner of your paper card, so the person keeps the card and also saves you instantly.

Can I update my number or company later without reprinting?

No. A static vCard QR fixes your details at generation time, so a job change or new number means reprinting. If you change roles often or want one card for life, use our NFC Business Card or a Dynamic QR, both let you edit the details anytime while the printed code stays the same.

Will the QR fit on a standard Indian business card?

Yes. A 1.5cm to 2cm square is enough to scan reliably on a standard 3.5 x 2 inch card. Keep only the essential fields (name, phone, email, one URL) so the QR pattern stays simple and easy to scan, and download SVG for the sharpest print.

Is this digital business card generator free?

Yes, completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no expiry, with PNG and SVG export. The vCard is built in your browser, so your contact details are never uploaded to or stored on our servers.

Can I add a photo or logo to the vCard?

The contact fields (name, company, phone, email, website, address) are encoded in the QR itself. You can add your company logo to the centre of the QR design using the studio above. For a full profile with photo, catalogue, and social links, a hosted NFC card page is the better fit.

How do I add the QR to my email signature?

Download the PNG and insert it as an image in your email signature (Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail all support this). Keep it small, around 120 to 150 pixels wide, so it loads fast and still scans cleanly when someone points their phone at the screen.

What a vCard QR contains

The QR encodes a vCard 3.0 file with your name, organisation, title, phone, email, website, and address. vCard is the same format Outlook and Apple Contacts use when you forward someone's contact card. When the QR is scanned, the phone parses it and shows a Save to Contacts prompt with every field pre-filled. The recipient taps Save and you are in their address book under your real name.

How it works on iPhone and Android

Every iPhone since iOS 11 and every Android with Google Lens or the stock camera app can read vCard QR. The Save to Contacts flow is one tap on both platforms. Some Android cameras require a long-press on the QR before showing the prompt, but the recognition works the same way. No app install, no profile setup, no Bluetooth pairing.

vCard QR vs paper visiting card

Paper cards work but they require manual entry later. Most of them end up in a drawer, never typed. A vCard QR replaces the manual step with one tap. The best practice in India: print a small QR (1.5 x 1.5 cm) in the bottom corner of your paper card. The recipient gets both the visual card and the instant save. For a fully digital, updatable, NFC + QR card, see our NFC Business Card.

Where to use a vCard QR

On business cards (front, back, or corner). On event lanyards and conference badges. In email signatures as an attached PNG image. On the back of a smartphone case. On printed CV headers so recruiters save you directly. On hotel desk signage for guest contact. Indian context: sales executives at trade shows print the QR on the back of their visiting card so visitors save them and the cards do not pile up uncollected.
