What gets imported
The payload is a contact record, not a URL. Use the fields for first and last name, phone, email, title, organization, website, and address. Empty fields stay empty; do not cram a paragraph into the name line.

vCard QR code generator
Build a contact QR for names, phone numbers, emails, websites, roles, and business details that import into a phone address book.
Quick answer
Use a vCard QR when the scan should save a contact, not open a website. Fill structured fields so the phone can map name, phone, email, and organization correctly.
Works without signup
Create and download a static QR code for free. Pro is available when you need saved codes, analytics, editable destinations, or campaign controls.
Badges, booths, and email signatures
A badge QR is scanned in a noisy hall. Keep contrast high and the code large enough for a handshake distance. An email signature can use a smaller PNG, but still test on iOS and Android.
Free static downloads
Static vCard QR codes work without signup and download as PNG or SVG. The encoded details are fixed after you generate the file. No account is required for that path.
When a hosted profile is better
If the phone number or role changes after cards are printed, a static vCard cannot update. Pro hosted profiles, saved codes, and analytics are the path for details that still move.
Scan-safe styling
Color and style are fine when contrast stays strong and the quiet zone is intact. Test the final artwork on more than one phone before a print run.

Scan-safe publishing checklist
- Keep strong contrast between the code and background.
- Preserve the quiet zone around the QR code.
- Test the final artwork on multiple phones before printing.
- Use Pro dynamic controls when the destination may change later.
Questions
Can I create a vCard QR code without paying?
Yes. Static contact QR codes can be created and downloaded for free.
Will every phone import the same fields?
Most phones import name, phone, and email. Some treat website and address differently. Test your exact fields before a large card order.
When should I use Pro for a vCard QR?
Use Pro when you want a hosted profile, an editable saved code, analytics, or saved image assets.
