What information is included?

Name, phone, email, company, job title, website, and address. All fields are optional except name.

What format does it use?

Standard vCard 3.0 format, compatible with all modern phones, contact apps, Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Contacts.

Can I include a photo?

The web tool creates text-based vCards for maximum compatibility. For photo-embedded cards, use the iOS app.

How do recipients save the contact?

After scanning, their phone prompts them to save the contact automatically. Most phones add it to the default contacts app with one tap.

Should I print the QR on the front or back of my business card?

Most designers put the QR on the back so the front stays clean. Either works. The key is at least 1 inch square and a clear quiet zone (white margin) around the code.

Does a vCard QR code work with Google Contacts and Outlook?

Yes. The vCard 3.0 format is the universal standard. Google Contacts, Outlook, Apple Contacts, and almost every CRM accept it.

What happens if a basic phone scans it?

Older phones without smart scanner support display the raw vCard text instead of prompting to save. Modern smartphones (iPhone with iOS 11 plus, Android 10 plus) handle it as a contact card automatically.

Can I update my contact details later?

Static vCard QR codes encode your details directly, so changes require a new QR. For contact details that may change, encode a URL pointing to a hosted vCard file you can update on your server.
