vCard QR Code Generator

What happens when someone scans it

The phone shows a contact preview — name, organisation, number, email — and offers to save it. It works with no network: the whole card is inside the code.

A vCard, version 3.0 — the version both iPhone and Android import without an app. Name, organisation, phone, email and website each take a line.

How to make one

1. 1

   Fill in the fields worth saving — name is required, the rest is judgement.

2. 2

   Leave out what you do not need; a vCard is the densest common type.

3. 3

   Style it and check the preflight panel.

4. 4

   Export as SVG or PDF if it is going on a printed card.

Fields

• name

  Full name

• org

  Organisation

• tel

  Phone

• email

  Email

• url

  Website

Nothing is fetched, nothing is tracked

The contact is read out of the ink, offline. The other side of that coin: a printed card cannot be updated. If your details change often, encode a URL to a contact page instead.

Density is the constraint

Every field adds modules. A name, one number and one email scans easily at business-card size; add a website and an organisation and the code wants to be bigger. Studio’s preflight tells you when the module size drops below print-safe.

Questions

Can I add a photo?

No — a photo multiplies the payload and pushes the code far beyond what scans at card size. Phones show the saved contact with their own placeholder.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Version 3.0 is the one both import natively; it is why Studio does not emit 4.0.

Can I update it after printing?

No. The card is in the ink. Reprint, or encode a link to a page you can change.
