What is a vCard QR code?
A vCard QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores digital contact information, allowing you to save a person’s details to your phone instantly. When scanned, the code imports data such as names, phone numbers, and email addresses directly into your address book without manual typing. Because these codes contain text data, they must be printed at a sufficient size and with high error-correction settings to remain scannable despite minor ink spread or paper texture. Using a vCard QR code on a business card streamlines networking by replacing physical card exchanges with immediate digital contact sharing.
