Paper business cards tend to die at the bottom of a bag. Add a vCard QR code to the corner, and one scan puts your details straight into the other person's contacts.

A business card with a QR code in the corner

What is a vCard?

vCard is the standard digital business card format every phone understands. When scanned, the phone opens its "add contact" screen pre-filled with your name, number, email, and whatever else you included.

What to include

Start with the three core fields: name, phone, email — that alone is fully functional.

Extra fields (company, job title, website, address) should be added sparingly: every field makes the QR pattern denser and harder to scan at business-card size. Our generator warns you when the data is getting long.

Sizing on the card

Use at least 2×2 cm with a proper white margin. If your details make the pattern dense, go up to 2.5 cm — or drop a non-essential field.

One caution

vCard data is baked into the image permanently. A new phone number or company means generating a new QR code and reprinting the cards — so only include details you're confident won't change soon.
