How to Create a vCard QR Code for Your Business Card

By Kavuthamraj · Updated

A vCard QR code puts your contact details on someone’s phone with one scan and one tap, so they never have to type your name and number. Put it on a business card, badge or email signature. You can make one free in a few minutes; here is how, and why it keeps working when your details change.

Create vCard QR code

No watermark. No ads. No card.

How do you make a vCard QR code? (quick answer)

  1. Open a free QR code generator and choose Contact Card.
  2. Sign in with a free Google account (contact-card codes are always dynamic).
  3. Fill in your details: name, organisation, job title, phone numbers, email, website and address.
  4. Add a photo and company logo if you like.
  5. Download the code, test it, and add it to your card.

What happens when someone scans it

The scanner’s phone opens a clean, branded contact page with your photo, details and a one-tap Save Contact button. They save you to their contacts in a second, with every field already filled in.

What you can include

  • Profile photo and company logo
  • First and last name
  • Organisation and job title
  • Mobile and work phone
  • Email address
  • Website
  • Street address, city, state and postal code

Include only what you want strangers to have. A mobile number, email and website are usually plenty for a business card.

Why a dynamic contact card is better

QR Raj contact cards are always dynamic. The code holds a short link, not your details, so:

  • You can change your details later (a new number, a new job title) and the code on your printed cards keeps working.
  • The code stays simple and easy to scan, however much you put on the card, because the details are not packed into the pattern.
  • You can see how many people scanned it, with total and unique scans.

The trade-off: it needs a free Google account, and the code works for as long as your account is active. Do not delete the card while there are printed copies out in the world.

Where to use it

  • Business cards: put the code on the back, with "Scan to save my contact".
  • Event badges and name tags.
  • Email signatures and presentation slides.
  • Stalls, booths and shop counters.
  • Resumes and portfolios.
