If you searched “QR code for contact info” (or “contact card QR code”), you usually want a vCard QR code — scanning it opens an “Add contact” flow on iPhone/Android.
Use the generator: vCard QR code generator (or the business card QR code generator if you’re printing cards).
Quick steps (works for most people)#
- Enter your name + one contact method (phone or email).
- Scan-test and confirm it offers to add a Contact.
- Download SVG for print (or PNG for digital sharing).
- Optional: download a VCF contact file (.vcf) for email/AirDrop sharing.
What to include (fast scan + clean save)#
- Required: first name, last name
- Recommended: phone or email (one is enough)
- Optional: company, job title, website
- Avoid: long notes, multiple numbers, lots of URLs (makes the QR denser)
Details: vCard fields that matter.
Print tips (business cards, badges, handouts)#
- Size: aim for 20–25mm on business cards (bigger if you include lots of fields).
- Keep a clean quiet zone (don’t crop in Canva/Figma/Word).
- Use dark-on-light contrast and avoid glossy reflections when possible.
- Test on iPhone + Android before printing a batch.

“QR code to vCard” (same thing)#
You might see this phrased as “QR code to vCard” — it just means the QR encodes vCard contact data so scanners can save it into Contacts.
vCard vs URL (digital business card)#
Use vCard for “save my contact”. Use a URL for a landing page you can update (portfolio, booking, link-in-bio). See: vCard vs URL (and Dynamic QR if you need editability).
