A QR code on your business card lets people save your contact information with a single scan — no manual typing. Here's how to create one that looks professional.

Step-by-step Guide

Go to the vCard QR generator

Visit QRMint's business card QR code page or select "vCard" on the create page.

Fill in your contact details

Enter your name, company, title, phone number, email, website, and address.

Match your brand

Set QR code colors to match your business card design. Add your company logo.

Choose the right size

For business cards, a QR code of about 2cm x 2cm works well. Download in SVG for crisp printing.

Scan the QR code with your phone to verify all contact information is correct.

FAQ

What is a vCard QR code?

A vCard QR code stores contact information in a standardized format. When scanned, it prompts the user to save the contact directly to their phone's address book.

What size should the QR code be?

For a standard business card, 2cm x 2cm is the minimum recommended size. Larger is better if space allows.

Can I include my photo in the vCard?

The QR code stores text-based contact data. Photos are not included in the QR data, but you can add your logo to the QR code design itself.
