Create a vCard QR

What gets saved

A vCard (or MECARD-style) payload can include name, organization, title, phone, email, website, and address. Phones map those fields into the Contacts app. Unlike a website QR, the recipient does not need a data connection after the scan to store the card — useful at conferences with weak WiFi.

Steps

Open Studio and choose vCard.
Fill in the fields people actually need. Use +country code phone format when you network internationally.
Customize colors or add a logo under Design.
Download PNG/SVG. For cards, keep the code around 2×2 cm minimum — see print sizes.
Test-scan on iOS and Android before ordering a box of cards.

vCard vs dynamic link on a card

Choose vCard when the goal is “save my contact now.” Choose a dynamic URL when you want a personal landing page you can update, or scan analytics. Many people print both: vCard for contacts, separate link for portfolio. More context: QR on business cards.

Tips

Shorter payloads scan more reliably at small sizes.
Keep work and personal numbers intentional — do not mix by accident.
Match brand colors carefully; contrast beats cleverness.
For email signatures, prefer a small PNG and a visible URL fallback — email signature guide.

Common mistakes

Printing too small in a busy card corner
Leaving out the country code for international contacts
Encoding a personal email you no longer check
Skipping the real-device test before a 500-card order

FAQ

What does a vCard QR code do?

When scanned, it lets someone save your name, phone, email, company, and website as a contact on their phone — no typing.

Are vCard QR codes free?

Yes. Vyntrix QR lets you create and download free vCard QR codes with no watermark.

vCard QR vs link to my website?

A vCard saves contact fields offline instantly. A URL (especially dynamic) is better if details change often or you want scan analytics.

Do both iPhone and Android support vCard QR?

Yes. Modern camera apps recognize MECARD/vCard payloads and offer to add a contact. Always test both before printing cards.

How much information should I include?

Only what people need. Extra fields make denser codes that need slightly larger print sizes.

Can I brand a vCard QR with my logo?

Yes — use Design in Studio. Keep the logo modest and contrast high so scanners still read the code.
