vCard inside a QR code
A contact QR is just a QR whose payload is a vCard (RFC 6350 family). Version 3.0 is the most widely accepted by phone cameras:
BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Lovelace;Ada;;; FN:Ada Lovelace TEL;TYPE=CELL:+44 ... EMAIL:ada@example.com END:VCARD
Keep fields short. A full postal address plus a long bio makes a dense code that fails on small cards.
Examples
Valid - Minimal vCard
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0

FN:Ada Lovelace
TEL;TYPE=CELL:+44 20 7946 0958
EMAIL:ada@example.com
END:VCARD Invalid - Empty contact
(no name, phone, or email)Frequently Asked Questions
vCard 3 or 4?
This tool emits 3.0 because camera apps still mishandle 4.0 more often. 3.0 is enough for name, phone, email, org, and URL.
Can I add a photo to the vCard?
Embedded photos bloat the QR until it will not scan. Put a logo in the QR styling instead, and keep the vCard text-only.
Tips
- Put the QR on the back of a card at least 2 cm wide.
- Prefer one phone number and one email. Extra fields add density fast.
- Scan your own code after you add a logo.
Common Mistakes
Cramming a full mailing address onto a tiny badge QR
