What is vCard QR Code?

A vCard QR code carries contact details so a scan adds you to the phone's address book — no typing, no scanning a paper card. This generator uses the compact MECARD format, a single-line contact string that encodes name, phone, email, company and URL and is understood by iOS and Android.

Common Uses for vCard QR Code

  • Digital business cards at networking events
  • Contact details on a conference badge
  • Support contacts on packaging
  • Real-estate and sales signage

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MECARD?
MECARD is a compact, single-line contact format: MECARD:N:Last,First;TEL:...;EMAIL:...;ORG:...;URL:...;;. Phones recognise it and offer to save the contact, and it avoids the line breaks a full vCard needs.
Is MECARD the same as vCard?
Both encode contact details and both save to the address book. MECARD is shorter and easier to fit in a small QR code; vCard (VCF) is the richer standard used by contact files and email attachments.
How much data can I include?
Keep it to the essentials — name, phone and email. Adding a photo or long notes makes the code much denser and harder to scan when printed.
