How to Create a vCard QR Code

4 min read  ·  FREE QR 360 Team

A vCard QR code lets people save your contact information directly to their phone's address book with a single scan — no typing, no spelling errors.

What Is a vCard QR Code?

A vCard QR code encodes contact information in the vCard 3.0 format — an open standard supported by every major phone, email client and contacts app. When scanned, the phone displays a prompt asking the user to save the contact.

✓ No app required. The native contacts app handles vCard scanning on both Android and iOS.

How to Create a vCard QR Code

Step 1: Choose vCard

Open the FREE QR 360 generator and select vCard Contact.

Step 2: Fill in your details

Enter your first name (required), last name, company, job title, phone, email and website. Only the name field is mandatory — add as many or as few details as you like.

Step 3: Customize (optional)

Add your brand colors and a company logo. A logo in the center of the QR code reinforces brand recognition.

Step 4: Download and print

Download PNG for standard printing or SVG for large-format output. Place it on your business card, email signature image or event badge.

Use Cases

Can I add a photo to my vCard QR?
No. The vCard QR type on FREE QR 360 encodes text fields only. Photos are not included because the data would exceed the practical QR code size limit.
Which contacts app reads vCard QR codes?
The native iPhone Contacts app and the native Android contacts app both handle vCard QR codes automatically — no separate scanner app needed.
Is my contact data stored on FREE QR 360?
No. Static vCard QR codes encode your data directly in the QR pattern. Nothing is saved to our servers.
