What is a vCard QR code?

A vCard QR code embeds a complete contact card (name, phone, email, organization, title, address) using the vCard 3.0 format — when scanned, iOS and Android offer to save the contact directly to the user's address book with one tap. It's the modern equivalent of handing someone a paper business card, except it lands in their phone permanently and they can call you immediately. Encoding happens with no server round-trip; your contact info stays on your device.

About the vCard format

vCard 3.0 (RFC 2426) is the broadly-compatible standard for digital business cards.
  • Begins with BEGIN:VCARD and ends with END:VCARD
  • Each field is a key:value line (FN:John Doe, TEL:+15551234567, etc.)
  • Multi-line fields use line continuation (rarely needed)
  • Encoded as plain text inside the QR — no encryption

Frequently asked questions

vCard 3.0 vs 4.0 — which does this use?
vCard 3.0 (RFC 2426). It has the broadest scanner compatibility — both iOS and Android save it cleanly. vCard 4.0 (RFC 6350) supports more fields but some scanners still don't parse the newer format.
