Free vCard QR code generator
A vCard QR turns your business card into a one-tap contact import. The phone reads the QR, opens the system "save contact" sheet pre-filled with everything — name, organisation, title, phones, emails, address, website. The recipient hits Save and you're in their address book.
QR2R generates VERSION:3.0 vCards (the most widely-supported flavour) by default, with VERSION:4.0 available for setups that need it. Multiple phone numbers and emails are supported as repeated TEL: and EMAIL: lines. Address fields fold into a single ADR: line per the vCard spec.
The print case is obvious — business cards, conference badges, restaurant servers, real-estate agents. The digital case is just as good: stick the QR in your email signature, on your LinkedIn banner, or as the avatar of a shared device. Every recipient gets the same canonical contact information without you typing it twice.
- vCard 3.0 by default — supported by every iPhone, Android and macOS Contacts.
- Multiple phone numbers, emails, and a single address fold into one QR.
- Compact encoding so the QR stays scannable at business-card size.
- No upload — the contact info is encoded in the QR itself.
vCard QR — frequently asked questions
What's a vCard QR?
A QR that encodes the vCard 3.0 (or 4.0) format — the same format Apple Contacts and Google Contacts use to import. Scanning it opens a "save contact" sheet on the phone.Why is my vCard QR so dense and hard to scan?
vCards include every contact field, so they take more bytes than a URL. If the QR feels dense, drop fields you don't need (organisation, address) or print it larger — minimum side length is roughly scan distance ÷ 10.Should I use vCard 3.0 or 4.0?
Default to 3.0 — it's universally supported. vCard 4.0 has nicer types but a few older phones still mis-parse it. Switch only if you need the newer fields like LANG: or KIND:.Can I include a photo on the contact card?
Not in this release — vCard photos balloon the QR past comfortable scan size. If you need a photo, use our dynamic vCard mode (post-launch), which fetches the photo from a hosted page.How do I add multiple phone numbers?
Click the + button next to the phone field — add as many TEL: lines as you need. Each lands as a separate phone on the imported contact.Will the QR still work after I change my phone number?
No, static vCard QRs encode the literal contact card — change a phone, regenerate the QR. For an editable contact (one QR for life), use our dynamic vCard mode.Can I add a website or LinkedIn URL?
Yes — the URL field carries through as a vCard URL: line. Most phones surface it as "Visit Website" on the imported contact.
