Using vCard QR Codes on Business Cards

Adding a QR code to your business card makes it easy for contacts to save your information digitally. A vCard QR code contains your name, phone, email, company, and other contact details in a standardized format.

What Is a vCard?

vCard (Virtual Contact File) is a standard format for electronic business cards. When encoded in a QR code and scanned, the contact information is automatically added to the phone contacts app.

What to Include

A business card QR code typically contains your full name, job title, company name, phone number, email address, website, and physical address. You can include as much or as little information as you want, but keep in mind that more data means a more complex QR code that requires higher resolution.

Design Integration

Place the QR code in a corner or the back of your business card. A size of 2.5 x 2.5 cm works well for standard business cards. Make sure the quiet zone (white margin) around the code is preserved.

Testing

Before printing business cards, test the QR code with multiple phones. Check that all fields are correctly populated in the contacts app. Pay attention to special characters in names or addresses that might not encode properly.

Printing Quality

Use high-resolution QR code images (SVG or high-DPI PNG) for print. Low-resolution QR codes can become unreadable when printed. Our generator provides both PNG and SVG downloads suitable for professional printing.
