vCard QR Code — Share Contact Info Instantly
Create a vCard QR code to share your name, phone, email, and address. Scanned contacts save directly to the phone.
A vCard QR code packs your full contact information into a single scannable code. Name, phone, email, address, website — all saved to the scanner's phone in one tap. Create yours at QRMax.
What It Does
The QR encodes contact data in the vCard (.vcf) format. When scanned, the phone prompts the user to add a new contact with all fields pre-filled.
Common Use Cases
| Use Case | Example |
|---|---|
| Business cards | Replace or supplement printed contact info |
| Conference badges | Networking without swapping paper cards |
| Email signatures | Let recipients save your contact easily |
| Office reception | Visitor check-in with company contact |
| Resumes | Add a QR linking to your full contact details |
How to Create a vCard QR Code
- Choose "vCard" type — Open QRMax and select the vCard option.
- Fill in your details — Enter name, title, company, phone numbers, email, website, and address.
- Customize & download — Brand with your colors, add a headshot or logo, and export.
Practical Tips
- Include only relevant fields — More data means a denser QR code. Skip fields you don't need.
- Use vCard 3.0 or 4.0 — These versions are universally supported across iOS and Android.
- Add your photo via dynamic QR — Static vCards with embedded images create very dense codes. Use a dynamic vCard instead.
What's the difference between vCard and MeCard?
vCard supports more fields (title, company, multiple phones, address, website, photo) and is the international standard. MeCard is simpler and more compact, mainly used in Japan.
Can I update my contact info after printing?
With a static vCard QR, no. Use a dynamic vCard QR through QRMax to update details anytime without reprinting.
Will it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both iOS and Android natively support vCard format and will prompt to save the contact.
