The paper business card is dying — and good riddance. People lose them, forget them, and rarely bother to manually type in the phone number and email from a card they received at a conference. A vCard QR code solves this: the recipient scans your code and your full contact details are instantly saved to their phone's address book. Name, phone, email, company, title, website — all captured in one scan with zero typos.

With Coda One's QR Code Generator, you can create a vCard by entering your contact information in our text field using the standard vCard format. The QR code encodes all your details into a compact image that works with every modern smartphone. Print it on your physical business cards, add it to your email signature, display it on your conference badge, or keep it on your phone's lock screen for quick sharing during networking events.

To create a vCard QR code, switch to the "Text" tab and paste your vCard data in the standard format (BEGIN:VCARD ... END:VCARD). Include your name, organization, title, phone numbers, email addresses, and website URL. The resulting QR code, when scanned, will prompt the recipient's phone to add you as a new contact with all fields pre-filled. No app required — it works natively on iOS and Android.

Frequently Asked Questions

What format should I use for vCard data?
Use the standard vCard 3.0 format: start with BEGIN:VCARD, then add fields like FN (full name), ORG (company), TITLE, TEL, EMAIL, URL, and end with END:VCARD. Each field goes on its own line. Search "vCard format example" for templates you can fill in with your details.
How many contact fields can I include?
You can include as many fields as the 4,296 character QR limit allows. Typically this covers name, company, title, multiple phone numbers, multiple emails, website, and a brief note. Adding a photo is not recommended as it would make the QR code too dense to scan reliably.
Will the contact save directly to the phone's address book?
When a phone scans a vCard QR code, it recognizes the format and offers to create a new contact with all the encoded fields pre-filled. The user just taps "Save" or "Add to Contacts." This works natively on both iOS and Android without any special app.
Can I update my contact info after creating the QR code?
No — the QR code is a static image with your details baked in. If your phone number or email changes, you'll need to generate a new code. For frequently changing info, consider encoding a URL to your online contact page instead, which you can update anytime.
What's the difference between a vCard QR and a URL QR linking to LinkedIn?
A vCard QR saves your contact directly to the phone's address book — no internet needed, no app needed. A LinkedIn URL QR requires internet access and only works if the person has LinkedIn. vCard is more universal and works offline, making it better for in-person networking.
