vCard QR code
A vCard QR code encodes contact details in the vCard format, so scanning it prompts the phone to save a new contact in one tap.
vCard is the standard file format for contact cards: name, phone, email, company, website. A vCard QR code packs those fields into its payload, so a scan offers an "Add to Contacts" prompt. It's the staple of business cards, name badges, and email signatures.
Encoded directly, a vCard code is static: change jobs or numbers and you reprint. Point a code at an editable profile page instead and you update your details without reissuing the card. Try our free vCard QR code generator.
