Where to use a contact QR code
- Business cards: on the back, at least 2 cm wide. Download the SVG for your printer.
- Your van or ute: people at traffic lights can save you without writing anything down.
- Trade shows, markets and the counter: print the "Save our contact" sign.
- Email signatures: attach the .vcf file or link to it.
The code uses the standard vCard 3.0 format, the same one phones use when you share a contact.

Quick answers
What is a vCard QR code?
A QR code that holds a contact card (vCard). When someone scans it with their phone camera, the phone offers to add your name, number, email and website to their contacts, with no typing.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Current iPhone and Android cameras recognise contact QR codes. Always test-scan before you print.
Why is my QR code so dense?
Every field you add makes the code bigger and harder to scan when printed small. For a business card, keep it to name, business, mobile, email and website, and print the code at least 2 cm wide.
Can I update my details later?
The details are inside the code, so a new number or email means a new QR code. That’s the trade-off for a code that never expires and needs no account.
