What is a vCard?

A vCard is a standardized file format (.vcf) for sharing contact information. It contains details like name, phone number, email address, company, and more – all in a small text file.

What is a vCard used for?

vCards are used to share contact information easily and without errors. Instead of typing in a phone number, you can transfer the data directly to your address book via QR code or file.

How does scanning work?

• iPhone: Open the Camera app and point it at the QR code. A notification will appear to save the contact.
• Android: Most camera apps detect QR codes automatically. Alternatively, you can use Google Lens.

Printing QR codes on business cards

Download the QR code as PNG (1024×1024 pixels) or SVG (vector graphic). For printing, we recommend a minimum size of 2×2 cm and SVG format for the best quality.

Technical format

This tool uses vCard 3.0 – the most widely supported and compatible format. It works with all common smartphones and contact apps.
