A vCard QR code is a digital business card: scan it and the phone offers to save your name, organization, phone numbers, email, website and address straight into contacts, with no typing and no app. Generate yours free, no sign-up, no watermark, and the code never expires.

The code uses vCard 3.0, the same contact format used by Apple Contacts, Google Contacts and Outlook, so it works on every modern phone.

Fill in only the fields you need: a name plus phone or email is usually enough. Fewer fields mean a simpler code that scans faster.

Where to put your vCard QR code

The classic spot is the back of your business card, one scan and the scanner has your details, no card to lose. It also works well on conference badges, email signatures (as an image), shop counters and trade-show banners. Wherever someone might want to reach you later, a scannable contact is easier than a typed-out card.

Keep the code at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide on a business card so cameras lock on quickly. Our QR code size guide has full details.

Frequently asked questions

What is a vCard?
vCard is the standard electronic business card format (like a digital address-book entry). Version 3.0 is supported by iOS, Android, Outlook, Google Contacts and every QR scanner that handles contacts.
Is this vCard QR code generator really free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no download limits. Create as many business card QR codes as you need, for personal or commercial use.
Will scanning overwrite the person's contacts?
No, the phone opens a new-contact screen with your details pre-filled. The scanner reviews and saves it themselves.
Which fields should I include?
Name plus one phone number and one email is the sweet spot. Every extra field makes the QR pattern denser; organization and website are worth adding for business use.
Can I include a photo?
Photos can technically be embedded in vCards, but they make the QR code enormous and unreliable to scan, so we deliberately leave them out. A clean, fast-scanning code beats a bloated one.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business cards?
The saved contact appears in the phone's address book like any other contact, so it works with every app that reads contacts. For a direct chat link instead, use our WhatsApp QR code.
