What a vCard QR code stores
A vCard ("virtual contact card") holds the same fields a phone's contact app uses: full name, phone numbers, email, company, job title, website and address. All of it is encoded into the QR image itself — so one scan offers to create the complete contact, no typing.
Best uses: business cards, badges, email signatures, storefronts
- Business cards — the classic. A scan saves you before the card is lost.
- Conference badges & lanyards — swap details instantly at events.
- Email signatures & slides — let anyone save you from a screen.
- Storefronts & vehicle wraps — a permanent "save our details" code.
Static vCard codes vs dynamic contact links
| Static vCard (free) | Dynamic contact link (paid) | |
|---|---|---|
| Saves contact in one scan | Yes | Opens a page first |
| Works forever / offline | Yes | Needs the redirect |
| Editable after printing | No | Yes |
| Best when | Details are final (most people) | Details change often |
For a printed business card, static wins — it can never break. If you change jobs or numbers frequently, a dynamic code pointing to an editable page can make sense.

Frequently asked questions
What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code stores contact details — name, phone, email, company, address — in the code itself, so scanning it lets a phone save the contact instantly, without typing.
Do iPhones and Android phones support them?
Yes. Modern iPhone and Android cameras read vCard QR codes natively and offer to create a contact — no special app needed.
Can I put one on a business card?
Yes — it's the ideal use. 123smith vCard codes are static, so they keep working for the life of the card. Export SVG with Signature for crisp print.
Can I edit it after printing?
A static vCard code can't change once generated. If your details change often, use a dynamic code pointing to an editable contact page.
Is my contact information uploaded?
No. The vCard is built in your browser; your details are never uploaded or stored.
Can I add a logo?
Yes — the one-time $19 Signature unlock adds a centre logo, custom label/font and SVG export, with no watermark.
