vCard QR Code Generator

A vCard QR code holds your contact card. When someone scans it, their phone offers to save your name, phone numbers, email, company, website and address in one tap, with no typing. This generator writes vCard 3.0 (RFC 2426), which iPhone and Android contacts apps read. The code is static: it never expires and needs no sign-up.

What should the QR code do?
Design options: size, colours, logo

The vCard 3.0 fields used

N and FNName, split into last;first, and the full name as displayed
ORG and TITLECompany and job title
TELMobile (TYPE=CELL) and work phone (TYPE=WORK,VOICE), in +country code format

Worked example

Asha Rao, Sales Manager at Rao & Sons, mobile +91 98765 43210. The code holds (lines separated by CRLF):

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Rao;Asha;;;
FN:Asha Rao
ORG:Rao & Sons
TITLE:Sales Manager
TEL;TYPE=CELL:+919876543210
END:VCARD

Keep it scannable

Every field makes the code denser. On a business card, the name, one phone number, email and website are usually enough: the code stays small and scans fast. Notes and full addresses are better on a larger print. Photos are not included, as an image is far too big for a QR code.

For businesses: what happens after the scan

A QR code starts a conversation: a menu order, a WhatsApp chat, a payment, an enquiry form. AiStaffo sets up AI workers that pick up from there, answering chats and enquiries, logging leads, matching payments to orders and sending follow-ups, so your team only handles the exceptions. Book a free automation audit to see which of these your business could hand over.

Please note: this generator follows the published formats as checked on 21 October 2026. How a phone reacts to a scanned code depends on its camera or scanner app, so test every code on more than one phone before printing it in quantity.

Questions people ask

How do I make a QR code for my contact details?
Fill in your name and the details you want to share, then download the code. Scanning it opens a "save contact" screen on the phone.
Which is better on a business card: a vCard QR or a link?
A vCard saves the contact even without internet and needs no website. A link to an online profile can be updated later. Many people print a vCard code with only the essentials.
Can I update a vCard QR code after printing?
No. The details are inside the code, so make a new code when they change.
Why does my phone show text instead of a contact?
Some older scanner apps show the raw vCard text. Current iPhone and Android camera apps offer to add the contact.
Can I add my photo?
No. A photo is far too large for a QR code. Your contact app can add one after saving.
Does a vCard QR code expire?
No. It is static and works for as long as the details in it are correct.
