What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes contact information (name, organisation, phone, email, website) in the standardised vCard format. When scanned, the receiving phone offers to save the contact straight to its address book, no typing required.
vCard QR codes are popular on business cards, conference badges, signage and digital email signatures. The data is statically encoded into the QR image so it works without any server or hosting, even after you have handed it over.

vCard QR code questions, answered
What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes contact information in the standard vCard format. Scanning it offers to save the contact straight to the receiving phone's address book.
Will it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both iOS and Android handle vCard QR codes through their built in camera apps, no extra software needed.
Can I include a photo?
vCard supports photos but most phone scanners ignore embedded images in QR form. We recommend keeping the vCard text only and using a printed photo separately on the card.
Can I update a vCard QR code after printing?
No. The contact details are baked into the QR image, you will need to print a new code if your details change. If you anticipate changes, encode a URL that resolves to your contact card instead.
