vCard QR Codes: The Modern Way to Share Your Business Card

What is a vCard QR code?

A vCard is a standard file format for contact information — name, phone, email, company, and website. When you encode a vCard into a QR code, scanning it prompts the phone to save that contact directly, with no app or internet connection required.

Why it beats a paper business card

Paper cards get thrown away. A vCard QR code, printed on your card, badge, or email signature, takes the exact same information and makes it one scan away from living permanently in someone's phone.

It also works completely offline — the contact data is encoded directly into the QR pattern itself, so there's nothing to load or download.
