What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code encodes a digital business card — the vCard (.vcf) format that phones and address books understand. Instead of typing your details, someone points their camera at the code and their phone offers to save your name, number, email, company and website as a new contact in a single tap. It bundles everything a paper card carries into one scannable square, and because the data is embedded directly there is no app to install and no link that can rot.
Where a contact QR code earns its keep
Printed business cards are the obvious home for one, but a vCard code is just as useful in an email signature, on a conference name badge, a trade-show banner, a shop window or the back of a delivery van. Sales reps put them on slides so prospects can save their details mid-meeting; freelancers add them to invoices; event organisers print them on lanyards so attendees swap contacts without fumbling with typing. Any time you would hand over a card or read out a phone number, a contact QR code does it faster and without transcription errors.
PNG or SVG for a vCard code
Use the PNG for anything on a screen — email signatures, presentation slides, web pages — where a ready-made image just works. Use the SVG whenever the code will be printed and the final size is large or uncertain: it is a vector, so it stays perfectly crisp on a business card, a poster or an exhibition stand. When unsure, SVG for print and PNG for screens.

Frequently asked questions
- Are my contact details uploaded anywhere?
- No. The vCard QR code is assembled entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your name, phone number and email never leave your device and are never sent to a server — you can even generate the code with the internet disconnected.
- What happens when someone scans a vCard QR code?
- Their phone recognises the encoded contact and offers to add it straight to the address book — name, phone, email, company and website in one tap, with no manual typing.
- Does a vCard QR code ever expire?
- No. It is a static image that encodes the contact details directly, so it keeps working forever — even if this site disappears. There is no account, no redirect and no subscription to keep it alive.
- Can I print it on a business card?
- Yes — that is one of the most popular uses. Download the SVG so the code stays razor-sharp at business-card size, or use the PNG for on-screen signatures. Always test the printed card with your own phone before ordering a batch.
- Should I download the PNG or the SVG?
- PNG is a fixed-resolution image, ideal for email signatures, slides and web pages. SVG is a vector that scales to any size without blurring — the right pick for printed business cards, name badges or event signage.
- Which fields should I include?
- A first and last name are enough to generate a code. Phone, email, organization and website are optional — add only the ones you want shared, and empty fields are simply left out of the vCard.
- Is there any tracking or scan limit?
- None. The code is a plain static image with the contact baked in — no redirect service, no analytics, no cap on how many people scan it.
