Handing someone a card means hoping they type your details in later. Most do not. A QR code that adds you to their phone directly removes the step where your contact information gets lost.

What QR Business Card (vCard) does

Encodes your details as a vCard — the standard contact format every phone understands — inside a QR code. Scanning it opens a prefilled "add contact" screen rather than a web page.

The data is inside the code, not fetched from a server. Nothing is stored anywhere, nothing expires, and the code keeps working forever with no service behind it.

Detailed steps

  1. Enter the details you actually want on a stranger’s phone.
  2. Generate and download the code.
  3. Print it at a decent size — around 2 cm square is the practical minimum.
  4. Scan it yourself with a real phone before ordering anything.

Worth knowing

Include fewer fields than you think. Every extra character makes the QR pattern denser, and a dense code printed small on card stock fails to scan in ordinary indoor light — which is exactly where people will try it. Name, phone, email and company is plenty; the full postal address is what usually pushes it over.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when someone scans it?

Their phone recognises the vCard and offers to add a new contact with the fields already filled. No app, no website, no typing — which is the entire advantage over printing your email address.

Will it stop working?

No. The details are encoded in the pattern itself rather than pointing at a URL, so there is no service to shut down and no link to rot. Dynamic QR codes sold by marketing services do depend on their provider staying alive; this does not.

How small can I print it?

About 2 cm square is the practical floor, and larger is safer for a denser code. Test the actual print rather than the screen — paper, ink and lighting all cost you scan reliability.

Can I update my details later?

Not on cards already printed — the data is fixed in the pattern. That is the trade-off for it never expiring. If your details change often, encode a link to a page you control instead.

Is QR Business Card (vCard) free?

Yes. The Vootkit free plan includes 5 tool runs a day. Upgrade to Vootkit Pro for unlimited daily use, an ad-free workspace and saved workflows.

Do I need to install anything?
